An interesting observation: Except for the zero-scorers, the worst ratio of points scored to predictors votes received pre-stage belongs to... Roglić, Vingegaard and Groves.
Which means that the Big Ones are much more human than everyone thinks and simply cannot win everything they theoretically could...
Today is a big day for Sepp Kuss where his fate will ultimately be decided. It had seemed for many days that he would win GC (because of the combined: top form and Jumbo-Visma's decision as they are controlling the race 110%) but with every stage it shows more and more likely that Vingegaard has a different opinion. There's just under half a minute advantage for Kuss left and today is the final big mountains stage of Vuelta.

Kuss looks to have secured himself a first Grand Tour victory today. That is unless anything unpredictable happens in the final three stages.

1. Personne employée pour le service, l'entretien d'une maison, d'un établissement (terme vieilli remplacé aujourd'hui par employé de maison, gens de maison).
2. Péjoratif. Personne aux ordres de quelqu'un ; valet, larbin : Je ne suis pas votre domestique.
3. Chef militaire byzantin commandant un régiment de la garde impériale. (Le domestique des murs était le chef de la défense de Constantinople ; le domestique des optimates était le stratège le plus ancien d'Asie ; le domestique des jeux était l'intendant des jeux publics.)
And 'Je ne suis pas votre domestique' said Sepp Kuss to his teammates indeed this time round.
