Watching the Vuelta, they're doing all my local climbs. Albeit a tad faster than I do them...

Bertie FTW!

Did they just say that they're riding with a 38:32? 32 on the sprocket? đŸ˜¯

It's been brill, will not know what to watch when it's over. 2hrs coverage per night would be nice.

Think I'm going to have ride up the Bola del Mundo, just to see how bad it is. Coward that I am, I'll avoid the other 4 mountains they did beforehand đŸ™‚

That's really clever and funny. Genuine Lolling here, it's hilarious. đŸ˜†

đŸ˜† @ AA!

And, in honour of Dirty Bertie's win, I'm having steak tonight. Here's hoping I don't fall foul of the contrĂ´le antidopage after climbing the Col du Blackfriars tomorrow.

So, a cheat wins the Vuelta in the same summer that a cheat wins the Olympic road race. Not the best for the image of cycling. In fact, far from it.
