  What a weird thing to say. Second best considering only one person who didn’t finish but not anyone else who didn’t. Had Paul, Jonas, Florian, Juan, Isaac and whoever else done stage 1 and no more, would you rewrite that?

  yes, was thinking the same - this headline tells me he is already trying to usurp all control

  Wout& Remco both in shape without earpieces? Am curious to see who will work for who from what point on. Unlike some have said, there were huge problems between the two in past national team competitions. Let’s hope that’s all behind them as they say it is and doesn’t reappear during the race if it unfolds with an unexpected scenario.

  The difference is that Pellizzari, Piganzoli and Tiberi won't give del Toro any gifts

  I think you could have found a better adjective than spiteful. If you remember, it is I here who over the years warned someone was flying too close to the sun, going to run out of luck (he should have realised he was having) at some point, etc. I would (and) have said the same thing to my kids when they were overconfident in situations or their abilities, it has nothing to do with my personal feelings towards a person, especially here where it is not intended for him but more his followers who took on that same confidence thinking nothing could ever happen and there was no need to consider that. How many times has he now in retrospect said, I should have listened/paid more attention? Like I’ve said, if they were unique occasions with some big goal on the line or an irretrievable gap to avoid, it would be understandable and nobody would blame his unnecessary risk taking but many times it has nothing to do with that. Remember the Giro when after a few stages he thought he had to start mixing it with the sprinters at the finish line?

  Relax, Skjelly. No-one will take your place unless you let yourself be overcome with the fear of it

  Mas showed he was the second best only after Tadej, but here's the thing, in order to win a race you must finish the race, Mas has been working for a Vuelta title for the last decade. Crashes happen, look at the Tour, Remco was able to slot into second because the second best guy in the race crashed out. It happens and Mas earned his win no matter what.

  I don’t know what the articles this week are trying to convey but in the space of a few days we’ve been given the message the stars are already in Canada except MVDP who stayed to train in Spain but is now lined up in Luxembourg whilst in Namur we now have stars still keeping busy just before the WC. So is MVDP not so different by not being in Canada yet or are these not stars going to the WC or why are all these things being discussed as if they’re related?

  It's a long race, I would favor Remco over Wout. But anything can happen. I'm guessing Remco takes the TT this weekend. There are others who will be there who are on a high level just as we saw last weekend.

  and pay thru the nose for him and then he will fail completely
