Anyone else? Always like this part of the year as I am more motivated to rack up the miles! Wish I had the recovery of the pros though!!

It makes no difference to my riding, but it's nice to see the big increase in the number of people about this time of year. It's a shame they don't stick at it!

I wish I had time to sit and watch it. Gonna have a catch up tomorrow hopefully.

Managed 55 miles today after 65 yesterday - first time I've really pushed myself two days back to back so pretty happy with that

Looking forward to the mountains!

I like the ITV4 highlights for that very reason. Nicely compiled and commentated on, and Gary Imlach remains my all time fav sports presenter/writer for his "just the right balance" of sarcasm and cynicism and passion for the sport.

Wonder what he does when he's not doing the tour of Vuelta?

The highlights are great but on a day such as Sunday with big climbs spread throughout you can't beat watching live as the highlights don't cover the first 70% of the race in detail

Unless you have better things to do on a Sunday smile
