i watched the whole stage on youtube after. pulling for him for sure
-froome seemed to have crash himself out at like KM 1 by running into a barrier by himself
-another moto taking out racer...yikes?
-i love when the start feed early enough to show the breakaway forming...as a racer i always find this part fascinating
FYI....typically the full eurosport stages are loaded by someone on youtube by the end of the day. complete with Sean Kelly saying 'well yisss'.

I like Universal Sports in general, they seem to have most stuff besides Le Tour, and BeIN sports (also on Sling) has the Giro and some other races.

I gotta admit to totally rooting for Dumoulin.
Although if Lawson Craddock could manage to hang in these GC groups, I'd be cheering big time. He is usually the last G-A rider dropped before Dumoulin is alone.

So far, the Vuelta has been the best GT of 2015. It's looking to come down to the wire on the last mountain stage this weekend.

I'd put my money on Aru for the GC. I'd like to see Dumoulin win it, but I don't see it. Its been a great GC but it is obvious many of the riders are not on form.

It's funny that many of the guys that wouldn't try the giro/tour double against Contador because of fatigue fears decided to go and beat the snot out of each other at the Vuelta after doing the Tour.

Because the TdF is the most important race to them, they are willing to do a grand tour double as long as the TdF is first. It has been a good Vuelta.

Really want to see Dumoulin win, but I think it is a big ask. His TT today was phenomenal. Both him a Rohan Dennis can give Tony Martin a run for his money in the TT

Likewise ... I'd be surprised if Aru wasn't hurting a bit tomorrow given the effort he had to put out today to keep things close.
