Oh wait, European champs is a thing nowadays right?

 

Third for Hofland, not bad.

Rumours have it Contador will soon announce that the Vuelta will be his last race  

Apparently the idiots at Trek don't want to offer him a half-year contract so he can aim 100% for next year's Giro, which is what he apparently really wanted. Idiots, have some respect for by far the greatest grand tour rider of the last 1-2 decades. 

 

And now it's official!

"the 100th win, maybe tomorrow, but first we have to survive until tomorrow"

The next Giro d'Italia will probably start in Jerusalem, the first time outside Europe.

I sure am glad I'm not the head of security of the Giro then.
