    The final stage and Quintana has it in the bag. Probably the best grand tour of the year and some great finishes. Flat stage today with 8 laps of the finishing circuit. Hopefully we,ll get some decent TV images today from the air unlike last year when airspace over Madrid was locked down. The womens is currently live on Eurosport aswell.

    The weather
    It’s only fitting that a hot race ends in brutal heat. Sunday will be a day of bright sunshine and a maximum temperature of 34 degrees and it will only be slightly colder for the evening stage.

    There will be a light wind from a southerly direction which means that the rides will mainly have a headwind in the first part. On the finishing circuit, there will be a headwind in the middle section and a tailwind on the finishing straight.

    Is it like the TDF were the teams just cruise around and it'll come down to a sprint,or will Contador try to get into 3rd place?? Yes I know Orica would chase down every move Tinkoff make,but will they make an effort for Contador??

    Sprint finish.

    Great effort by Bennati but at the front for too long, but yet more glory for Orica. A really great race for them.

    A great race & very deserved winner in Quintana.
