You know how in the US, school shootings are tragically so common that a new shooting doesn't even start a serious debate about better gun control anymore? We're at the point in cycling where deaths in races and in training are so common that a new death doesn't even start a safety debate anymore.

If I've counted right, Picnic PostNL scored 239 UCI points over *all three grand tours* this year. To put that in context, Jasper Stuyven scored 240 for coming seventh in MSR all the way back in March. I know there's been some bad luck there, but that's simply unfathomable

I was thinking it's wild that Roglic has never been to Canada to do the one day races - considering peak Roglic would've been great for both - but actually, he was always taking holidays after competing in/winning the Vuelta.

I don't think we can understate how huge this is for Enric Mas, Movistar and Spain. 9 years ago, he was slated to be Spain's next Grand Tour rider. The scenario presented itself and now he's the first Spaniard to win the Vuelta since Contador. Vamos, Enric 👏
