...and, in the red, Horner

Once again the Vuelta has trumped the other two - more prestigious - world tours for excitement, drama and superb racing.
While this years Tour was excellent and much better than last year's, the Giro was essentially a bit of a very cold and wet damp squib.
The drama played out in the mountains of the Pyrenees eventually saw the 42 year old Chris Horner eventually break Nibali to ride into the leader's red jersey with just two stages remaining. Leading by just three second with two stages to go, the final mountain stage was bike dueling at its very best. 


At 42, it shows there is hope for us all. Right, I have three years to get a ride at a pro team then ride myself into contention for a world tour.
