This thread is full of spoilers for me now.
I'm recording todays races this evening to watch tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll unsubscribe 'til Vueltas over.

 
Sorry, Trev
I'll keep schtum for a couple of days after each stage

Sorry - didn't realise highlights were being shown.

Yes, I record on Eurosport in the late evening, to watch at lunchtime the following day, but no problem, you folks carry on posting when you want, I'll stop watching this thread.  I saw Geoghegen Hart come second today, but that was yesterday for you.

Wonderful ride by Dan Martin to clinch a stage win, but very sad to see in the 'truncated' Giro that 1st and 2nd were from 2 teams vanishing at the end of this season.

And so the season came to a close yesterday with the last stage of the Vuelta in Madrid. Who would have thought all 3 major tours could have been packed into so few months?
The 3 have brought out some superb riding and not a few surprises.
Chapeau to Roglic, Geoghan-Hart and (more locally) Hugh Carthy (the Preston Peddler) along with all the other stage winners. Great to see Jumbo-Visma, Sun Life and Movistar putting on team performances but sad to see Ineos Grenadiers not up to the standard we've known from Team Sky over the past few years. There is a lot to build on, though.
Roll on next year - the telly won't be the same without road cycling for a few months

Yes Mick, totally agree, it's been great.  I've caught up now, just watched Madrid whilst having lunch today.  Carapas nearly did it on Saturday, was willing him on like mad, but alas not to be, although he cut the deficit in half.  Agree what you say, quite a few new names sticking it to the old guard.  Let hope next season will have a few more races.

As an aside, I recently bought Carlton Kirby's book, "Magic Spanners", very entertaining with his anecdotes, and a lot of inside info on the teams and some riders. Recommended.
