Never heard of it, not having Sky Atlantic I'll have to look it up.
You'll see what I'm up to in a moment, it's pretty fookin depressing.

Just watched Europlayer highlights as I was like a kid on Christmas Eve and couldn't hold out for the ITV4 late showing.
Cracking stage and nice to see J Rod put more time into Contador. It's almost certainly between these two now, as if we didn't know already after yesterdays TT. Can't wait to see what happens in the mountains proper. Impressed by Gesink today and had to eat my words as my boy kept insisting right from the start of this Vuelta that he can podium whilst I kept saying no chance, he nearly always seems to fail to deliver. Good to see Roche as solid as ever, wonder just how high up GC he can finish?

No, it's more like 'I'm not leaving mine'.
I have an increasing mental image of 1066.
Long hair beard and nails, sullen, greying skin.
Sat in a cupboard 23 hours a day with 3 computers all logged onto different aspects of road cycling.
I don't think he's been outside since Febuary
You're forgetting the attire in that mental image though...fantasy Maglia Rosa with Olympic Gold Medal bling to finish off the look

Is there such a thing as fantasy Belgium mix?

I don't think 1066 can be overhauled now.
Just trying to work out who everyone is -
Memories of museeuw - 1066
Kevarino -?
Indurain's lungs - obviously!
Cranky25 -?
Vivelepants -? Stoichkov
Stulkey - pantani
Stat Brother - obvious again
Totally freaked -?

I'm new to the game, can't believe I've in 4th place with my limited knowledge. Definitely begginers luck!
Oh Rojas was 40/1 for today, as he's not in my fantasy team I stuck a pound on him.
So sorry to anyone who has him.

If your pound stops him winning and gets Froome back in it, SKY owe you a new shiney bike...
I'll have to seriously bet on J Rod AC & AVV, to get Froome back in the frame, for this one.

Well whatever you did seems to have got a British winner today.

strong and stable with me, or...
Shocking stage for me, I've got no one till you scroll down to Degenkolb in 7th, then 17th, 18th, 25th....Completely called it wrong going for the fancied sprinters!
Great win for Cummings though, talk about a well timed attack.

Only one thing to say about today's stage...well done Stephen Cummings 
Oh, just one more thing...well done Cranky on the NSC stage win today and a very good Vuelta so far.

I wouldn't bank on me not getting caught, just look what happened in the TdF. Still a way to go yet and if anyone gets some big breakaway points in the mountains then anything can happen.
Has Stoichkov confirmed as Vivelepants yet? I'd be curious to now who vivelepants is as he or she always does really well.

I think you're probably safe on this one. Especially with so many summit finishes - there proably aren't enough "medium mountains" stages for a Rubiano score or the like.
I'm still wondering about Vivelepants as they haven't claimed their Tour victory.

Not off to Burnley after all today, so really looking forward to some live coverage of the first proper mountain stage.
Traditionally, fantasy wise, it's time to shift in one of those Basque boys for the breakaway. But after much umming and arrhing last night and looking at roll in times from yesterday's stage, I've gone for someone who I think will be under team orders to be up the road today. The orange jersey I have my eye on will have to wait until tomorrow, so I'm hoping he doesn't go for it today.
