La Vuelta Stage 17: Aracena to Monasterio de Tentudía (162.3km)

mewso

After yesterdays drama and sadly Roglic departing the race today what can we expect now? The break is the most likely and yet again I hope to see Fred Wright in there and finally getting his win. Now that the 1-2 on the podium seems a wrap the most interesting battle looks to be between the two young Spaniards (Ayuso and Rodriguez) so keep an eye on them at the finish. Other than that coverage will be too late for us to see the fight for the break, feature some fun back-pedalling by Blythe on 'Mechanical-gate' and action in the last 15km or so.

The break might not be formed by the time coverage starts after all.

Fred Wright away in a big one again. Please let today be this lads day!!!!!!

A bit too steep for him in that company i fear

There's definitely going to be GC fireworks today I think. I think either Ineos or UAE will kick it off.

Fred dropped. Looks like he was working for Mader. Unfortunately I think he has run out of stages that suit him.

Spoke too soon :)

Brutal stuff here !!!!!

Really enjoyed the end of that race today and Uran winning was the cherry on top.
