So far not much has happened, other than a few moments like Lennert van Eetvelt handing a stage win to Primoz Roglic by celebrating too early, classic.

 

Today should be a fun stage:

 

vuelta-a-espana-2024-stage-6-sprint-d3ce

 

And if you look at that start location, people from certain countries might think "Carrefour, isn't that a supermarket?". And yes, you're right! We're not starting close to a supermarket, we're starting inside said supermarket!

 

Riders will be navigating the milk cartons and toilet paper rolls before heading out into Jerez de la Frontera and on their merry way.

Over the moon for Ben O'Conner today! (not only cause i got a bet on him at 9/1 when he was in the break) i can't help but feel he got done dirty in the netflix documentary so want to see him do well, hope he can hold it together and make BORA and the others really work for it now

This was truly hilarious, BORA went all-in on Lipowitz, who couldn't follow O'Connor, but then they simply kept bluffing and the other teams just ignored it, giving O'Connor more and more and more space :lol: 

 

Debrief at BORA must have been absolutely fuming at their massive blunder, that could well cost Roglic the win. Almost five minutes on a semi-established GC rider, good luck :d

This is why people prefer the Vuelta & the Giro to the Tour.  The top 10 riders are the same kind of top 10 riders, but the mid-ranked team-mates are very much......not the same.

Some people, yes. Most casual viewers only watch the Tour anyway and especially in recent years a lot of fans have enjoyed the Tour more than the other two. Vuelta and Giro used to be better though, yes. Vuelta wasn't helped with a billion stages with the same profile: __________/
