Are there any videos of the two guys punching each other on the Spanish Tour?

Aye, if there's something to fight for it'll be some last stage, the organisers would be creaming themselves. The Criterium type stage was a bit shit, but La Vuelta organisers seem the adventurous types.

Going to be some battle today. Looking at the profile i'm wondering should Froome go for it (if able) on the 2nd last climb. I'd say Contador will be expecting the attacks to come on the lower slopes of the final climb. It would be a gamble but Froome is going to need to take a minute back plus the time bonus which I assume is available to take it to the wire in the TT. Its not impossible but will be seriously tough task to drop Contador and take a minute out of him.


Any front wheel punctures they should just do what this guy does

great day of cycling alright, Nico could be on the attack in the TOB if he wants to win it, with two cat one climbs it should suit him.  Dan needs to watch himself or he could lose a place or two today.  froome needs to go for it as bernie has the beating of him tomorrow i guess.

philip doing great turns at the front for sky all week, it looks like we will have two irish cyclist doing it next year for sky

Fair play to Contador, played his hand beautifully.

What about Wiggins the other day, some performance. I was reading the paper Wed morning & saw Tony Martin @ 2/5 in the betting and thought to myself there's some easy money for yourself!

Another tour of Strangford? There must be four or five a year organised by different cycle clubs or other. I'm almost certain a friend of mine did one three weeks ago!

Some of the experts on here can confirm, but if you've a sore knee on the bike, the seat might need adjusting.

Or cleat position on your shoes? A bike fitting might be worth the money.
