    Hit the snooze button lads... if you're going to skip a stage, this is the one (I'm very optimistic :pac: )
    Flat. New day for sprinters, and one of their final opportunities in this year's Vuelta. Their teams will be keeping everything in control so that there are no complications. The arrival in warm Seville after two weeks of competing will allow us to assess how tired everyone's legs are.

    Grab a seat & a cool drink lads. I've a feeling if there was ever a stage to watch, this is it.

    Nico was 10th... he might have made up 10 seconds on some of the Top 10 with the time gaps. He did well to chase back to the front after puncturing within the last 5 kms.

    Cycling News: "De la Cruz, Zakarin and a few others lost around 7 seconds to Froome. "
