Didn't they consider putting some sort of rifle on one and using it to 'police' the streets of New York, a couple of years ago?

Had a sluggish Vuelta start but getting there now. Quintana faith not really paying off but Aru's been great for me.
George Bennett unlikely hero yesterday but I too got rid of Schleck!
Not going to hunt stages just yet but struggling to get anywhere near my TDF 75th
I have 9 transfers left to use up in the TT and then select a team for the last few stages (probably involving Degenkolb). I've fallen out of contact with TER and the other leaders, but I'm 9th and looking good for a top 20
Good luck TER. I was on holiday in the first week so wasn't really paying attention, but have stage-hunted a 1st and 3rd now! Gonna go all-in for the TT, then use my last two transfers tomorrow and just enjoy the racing this weekend without worrying about fantasy points!
Probably more sensible to stage-hunt the last stage but I'll be camping, and there's no way I'm finishing a grand tour with 7 unused transfers because I couldn't get internet connection!
Wednesdays TT will be the big chance for you Ter
Gutted Johnny
Id be more than happy if the Vuelta ended now
Although now gives me the potential to catch 1st it gives me massive potential to balls it up
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!

Had Frankie boy in the squad from day one...
Have to say that may be the best yet from Dumoulin. Less than two minutes between him and Purito this is now very interesting. We should run a sidesweep onhow much time he can gain on the climbers.
I have a feeling Dumoulin will crack today
So 2nd and 4th dont have fraile, so should be 2nd overall tonight I reckon.
The leader has Jeandesboz to my Koshevoy, which should mean nothing if the break stays away potentially. He however has brought in Moreno for Dumoulin (which i though about doing, but didnt) so hopefully Dumoulin has a better day than Moreno
Looking like a good stage for me but I'm way back overall, just going for stages...

Schleck

10 transfers left. Felt too expensive on transfers to get Fraile in. Now seems too expensive not to have him!
Got Dumoulin for the next stage too.
Well i have left dumoulin in against my greater wishes, but with only 13 transfers and fancy him tomorrow.
Hope it is enough to keep me near the podium
Dumoulin
J-Rod
Aru
Chaves

Koshevoy
