I guessed you might have been up on the route when I saw the map of the Veulta. Needless to say, as a cycling fanatic, I have been watching most of it everyday on Eurosport, and Irish hearts have been rewarded by seeing Nico Roche move into the lead yesterday and hold it today. Sam Bennett's stage win yesterday and his near miss today in El Puig by about 1 millimetre also did my nationalistic heart a power of good too. You caught the riders' concentration exceptionally well, especially UAE's Fabio Aru in this one https://www.greatpix.eu/Vuelta-a-Espa%C3%B1a-2019/i-XBwRqS3/A Unfortunately, Eurosport viewers missed the leading peleton going through Busot as the cameras were focussed on whether UAE's top sprinter Ferdinand Gaviria would make it with the help of Sergio Henao - your Two Stragglers image. He didn't, but that meant I missed you and the crowd - annoying. Anyway, good shots, and your bike is even personalised!
