Yates looking increasingly strong. Agree with the comments about it being possibly one of the best grand tour victories. He's had to work like hell (yates).... not a bad team M. Scott but certainly not as strong as sky or movistar etc.
Hats off to valverde too. That man was born to race bikes, unbelievable that he can still mix it with riders much younger than him.
His stats for consistency are truly remarkable
I've really enjoyed the Vuelta yet again, I think it's the unpredictability that makes it so open and fun to watch!

It would be great to see Yates win the Vuelta, his interview post stage yesterday was funny
Still think Quintana is the biggest threat to GC mind.
Still think so. I am kind of disappointed in Quintana he burst on to the scene and looked like he could destroy people in the mountain stages but it just hasn't happened. Yes he is superb but not quite at the level he should be maybe he needs a change of team.Still think Quintana is the biggest threat to GC mind.
Quintana.... I really liked him but then his antics and rudeness has dimmed his star in my eyes. Things like attacking when the leader of the race has a mechanical. He's as bad/petulant as Nibbles, IMO.
I really like the Yates brothers, but why do they talk through their teeth?
Fingers crossed three different Brits hold the title for the 3 Grand Tours this year.
But my, hasn't the race been exciting with Sky sitting at the front? Yesterday the break held off the peleton on a 'sprint' day.... Cracking stuff.

He certainly has done it the hard way. He's still looked strong at the end of yesterday's stage. Unless something catastrophic happens, he should hold on to red.
Unlikely that valverde can close deficit now but at least was saw a real GC battle right to the end.
Pinot also looked in top form. Been a great grand tour for him to cap of the season. Shame he lost out on a lot of time at the start, if that wasn't the case has possibly be in challenging the GC guys.
