Wrath of la Vuelta - Stage 21 and FINAL results

Well, that was awesome! Three weeks of fantastic cycling action in Spain to cap off the grand tours for the season. Best tour of the year?  I think so. The time gaps were small, the favorites performed, the underdogs were barking and the course was excellent (from my view at least).

More commentary to come, but here are the results from Stage 21 and the Final standings

Congratulations to our podium:
1st place: Los Renacuajos - Charlie Sawyer
2nd place: Faire le Pont - Jeff Cook-Lundgren
3rd place: Clean Air - Jed "I hated Lance before it was cool."

Wrath of la Vuelta - Stage 20 Results

Best day of the Vuelta? I think so. The motor bikes stalled, but the top riders were able to grind it out. 

Los Renacuajos - Charlie Sawyer may have the overall competition wrapped up, but there is still one day left. Do you have a sprinter in the race still? The ride into Madrid could suit them.

Wrath of la Vuelta - Stage 17 & 18 Results

Four riders have slipped away from the rest and are in the battle for red in Madrid. Did you pick them? One of our owners did. I hate to say the name because I feel like I have been talking about him all summer. Los Renacuajos - Charlie Sawyer has done it again. He is swimming at the top, and we are chasing him. There are a lot of mountains left, and he seems fit to close the deal this time. Being the only person to have Chris Horner (my SPANDEX tour hero) he has a distinct advantage since the 41 year old is kicking arse in Spain.

Will your team be the one to snatch the lead from Charlie in the final stage? School of Hard Box - Matthew Kurke knows how this feels... Six teams are within 1000 points. They still have hope.
