Nacer Bouhanni finds a flat stage in the middle of the Vuelta

August 31, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

It’s unusual for the Vuelta to get through an entire stage without taking a detour to go up some hill or other, but on stage eight it managed it. However, the Vuelta being the Vuelta,…

Alejandro Valverde adds to the uncertainty

August 29, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

I love the Vuelta. I really, really love the Vuelta. I’ve been thinking this a lot recently and can’t put my finger on precisely why I enjoy it so much more than other races. Sometimes…

It can be hard to get round John Degenkolb

August 28, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

It was another sprint finish and another John Degenkolb win. Nacer Bouhanni managed to stay in the front group, but couldn’t get round the German at the finish. Bouhanni says this was because Degenkolb was…

John Degenkolb v Michael ‘Bling’ Matthews

August 26, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

John Degenkolb and Michael Matthews are suited to similar sorts of stages, but yet I much, much prefer the former. Why? I’ve given it some thought and I think it boils down to name, appearance…

Michael Matthews can sort-of-sprint and sort-of-climb

August 25, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

August 21, 2014 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

March 16, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

Vincenzo Nibali’s happiness (and the varied feelings of others)

May 26, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It would be wrong to say that Vincenzo Nibali would have been happy at the bottom of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo climb at the end of stage 20. He was about to face 20km…

Carlos Betancur climbs mountain and general classification

May 20, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

If you’re wondering what to get Carlos Betancur for his birthday this year, how about second place on a stage of the Giro d’Italia? He loves them. He’s now been second across the line on…

Uran Uran unleashed

May 14, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It’s amazing the difference a double-D can make. I’m not being lecherous; I’m referring to woeful 80s posers Duran Duran. They were rubbish, but Team Sky’s Uran Uran is very good. He won stage 10…
