Elite Men’s Road Race: Leeds > Harrogate (285km)
Yorkshire, a land that favours the brave and the bold. Today it was AVV who took the race by the scruff of the neck, who’s going to do it tomorrow?

I think it would be fair to say that the Yorkshire Worlds have so far been a resounding success! Yes, we’ve had some biblical rain, and yes, there have been a fair few dodgy decisions, but overall there’s been edge-of-your-seat action in each and every event!

Maybe I’m biased.
After all, it’s not every day the world’s best riders descend on your home roads to fight for the rainbow bands…

Welcome to the business end of this year’s race. #PreviewTime.
Stage 18: Colmenar Viejo > Becerril (178km)
From crosswind chaos to high mountain madness, the GC riders are straight back into the firing line tomorrow.
But who'll be pulling the trigger?

Who’d have thought today’s stage, with no categorised climbs in sight, would turn into one of the most crucial stages of this year’s race! Perhaps that’s what made it so entertaining, that and the wild Movistar tactics 😉

Anyway, tomorrow we head back into the mountains, a stage with no less than four Cat 1 climbs on the menu. Now Movistar have smelt blood, will they try and punish Roglic some more?
You bet they will – the question is where are they going to do it?

I’m back baby. And what a stage to make my return! A short, spicy spectacular around Andorra.
Stage 9: Andorra la Vella > Cortals d'Encamp (94.4km)
What's that? The Queen Stage already? Wow, you really are spoiling us this year Javier...

This is an absolute beast of a stage, with five leg-breaking climbs and almost zero flat kilometres in sight.
Make no mistake people, this is the Queen Stage of this year's race! The Vuelta won't be won here, but I bet you a handful will lose it tomorrow.

We've got a roundabout route around Andorra tomorrow - passing several spots more than twice as we zip up and down the mountains that surround the valley town of Andorra la Vella.
The organisers have really tried to pack in as much climbing as possible...

A last minute route change may have thrown a spanner in the works, but it isn't going to stop tonight's #PreviewTime!
Stage 20: Albertville > Val Thorens (59km)
This is it. The big one. The last chance saloon. Who's going to win the GC shootout?

Well, today's stage was, erm, how do we put it - unpredictable?
From Pinot abandoning the race at the start of the day, to Mother Nature calling an abrupt halt at the end, we really did have it all!
Definitely one for the history books.

Despite all the drama however, we did get a very interesting GC dynamic unfold on theIseran - Team INEOS finally assuming the dominant control that we've always known them for.
Whether their original plan was to send Thomas or Bernal on the attack...

Stage 19: Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne > Tignes (126.5km)
A short stage, but no less barbaric than today's brute of a route. Again, this is all about survival. Who's going to make it?

What an absolute belter of a stage today, right? Admittedly it was a bit of a slow burner, but boy was it fun to watch it explode on those final slopes of the Galibier.

Still, despite a flurry of attacks from the INEOS boys, and a crack from Alaphilippe, the GC remains very much as it was when we left the Pyrenees - with only Bernal gaining on the GC contenders.

THIS. IS. IT. The moment we've all been waiting for #PreviewTime
Stage 18: Embrun > Valloire (208km)
We've finally made it to the Alps and beginning of the end of this year's epic race. Time to don the oxygen masks, tomorrow we're heading above the clouds!

We're now at the business end of this year's race and within the mountains we've all been waiting for since the moment the route was first announced!
The GC is tighter than ever, 2:14 separating the first 6 on GC, and just 36 seconds between 2nd to 6th! Mental 😱

With the gaps so tight and the mountains we've got to come over the next three days, I'd bet my house (conveniently my parent's house😉) on the GC royally exploding - the final results looking vastly different to how they do now.

Missed me? Let's get right back to it. #PreviewTime
Stage 16: Nîmes > Nîmes (177km)
Probably the last chance for the sprinters before we get to Paris. But are they going to get it all their own way? Or can the break spring a surprise...

If this stage was anywhere else on the race it would be a guaranteed sprint day.
But it's not.
It comes a day after the final rest day and just before we head to the Alps for the gruelling, grand finale of this year's race.

A lot of teams have burnt many of their matches, and those teams with the top sprinters (Jumbo, Quickstep) have burnt more than nearly anyone else.
These top sprinting teams now have GC ambitions and a realistic chance of winning this race outright.
