Well the final GT of the year is already upon us, this one could provide cracking racing with the line up.

Are the highlights on UK terrestrial TV.

I thought that they were on ITV4, but apparently not :-(.

They are on Quest, or at least supposed to be. Last night's show was nowhere to be found at the advertised time, and nothing on catch-up.

Yes - it is on Quest, however there’s relatively little of the stages shown, but an awful lot of chat on the sofa.

yes, I've always loved the Vuelta highlights on ITV4 and it appears it's not on this year! shame as it's a great summary of the day's stage.

I really hope there is a good GC battle this time and Roglic is challenged. Not sure if he's 100% fit after his TDF crash though so this may make it more 'level'..

Would love to know the reasons for ITV4 dropping the La Vuelta highlights. Often the best GT of the season.

Well the final run in for the Vuelta has been really good.

Shame Bernal came to form so late on in the race. That said it doesn't look like anyone can challenge Roglic at all, he's so strong compared to other GC riders.

Also, looks like team Jumbo have got their act together this time round.

Can't count your chickens of course but I'm sure they are very confident.

Would have liked to have seen A Yates do better but he didn't have the form I hoped.
