Fantasy Vuelta Stage 12: J-Rodded

I really should go down the bookies more often. Vuelta sprint stage? Put some money on John Degenkolb! Vuelta stage with a short, steep finish? Joaquim Rodriguez is your man! It’s cash in the bank. It was proper steep today, with some bits of 30% or so, that's getting into Chimney Bank or Hardknott Pass territory.


So it all went pretty nicely for J-Rod. The was an early break of course, including Cameron Meyer (damn you Rouleurs!), but luckily they were caught before they could earn any meaningful points. Come the climb J-Rod was off up the road, and not even Contador himself could catch him. And for that matter nor could Valverde or Froomey, who looks like he could be feeling the effects of a busy summer.


Rouluers on top. MacDream on bottom.
