Vuelta Stage 18 Preview
Three seconds separate race leader Tom Dumoulin and Fabio Aru and today’s stage offers time bonuses and a late climb. It should be a day for a breakaway but will Astana and Giant-Alpecin try their own battles?
Vuelta Stage 17 Preview
The only solo time trial of the Vuelta was designed to rebalance the overall classification late in the race and the scenario couldn’t be closer with time trial expert Tom Dumoulin needing to take two minutes on his rivals to see red again.
Spain’s Generation Gap
Enjoying the Vuelta? Like last year almost all of the best Spaniards in the race are over 30. Last year Spain finished first in the UCI rankings by nation thanks to Alberto Contador, Alejandro Valverde and Joaquim Rodriguez only the combined age of this trio is more than 100 years. Some said there are no replacements so this site looked at the next generation of riders coming through to pick some names for the future. How have they done this year?
As well as riders tipped a year ago, a look at some new names too.
Vuelta Rest Day
Who will win the Vuelta a Espańa? We don’t know and the race is all the better for this. Mountain stage repeats have only served to narrow the differences and if Tom Dumoulin has lost time, it’s just right ahead of the upcoming time trial stage.
Vuelta Stage 16 Preview
The Queen Stage of the 2015 Vuelta a España, 185km with seven marked climbs and a new and vicious summit finish.
Vuelta Stage 14 Preview
The first of the Cantabrian trifecta with a some steep climbs, today shape the race for the red jersey and show us whether Fabio Aru’s strong ride in Andorra was merely a good day or a sign he’s better than the rest.
Vuelta Stage 13 Preview
Stage 13, lucky for John Degenkolb? The German’s missed many chances so far but today could be the day to change things. From afar the day looked like it was for a breakawas but the lack of an obvious sprint star in the race means several teams will fight hard to set up their sprinter.
Moto Mayhem?
Sergio Paulinho is the lastest rider to suffer injury from a race vehicle after he was hit during Stage 11 of the Vuelta a España on the same day his Tinkoff-Saxo team issued an “open letter” calling for improved safety and an apology.
Some people have been asking what are the rules about vehicles and safety in the race convoy and what the different vehicles are doing so here’s a look at the topic.
