That was the Vuelta that was. A draw is not going to be enough for Cycling Mole to win this. For stage 21 he throws...

Playing “break or bunch” for the last time at this year’s Vuelta. Can Alejandro Valverde say goodbye to the rainbow stripes in style?

It’s nearly over. Flat stage, with a bit of cobble action at the end. A day for the sprinters then, yes? But this is the...

Cycling Mole knew which way the wind was blowing on Stage 17, calling Phil Gil’s second victory of La Vuelta 2019. Can he double up...

At any other race a profile like this would mean a nailed on bunch sprint, but this is La Vuelta. For stage 17 our panel...

No score on Stage 15, leaving our panelists desperately scrabbling around for moral victories. Can the last stage ahead of a well-earned rest day deliver...

Breakaway or battle of the favourites? Our jury is divided for Stage 15, with not a duplicated selection among them. Though the Cycling Mole thinks...

In which Cycling Mole tries for a “moral victory” despite Ian’s pick actually winning stage 13… Stage 14 is a hen’s tooth, or Vuelta sprint...

Los Machucos beckons, a brute of a ramp to end stage 13. Valverde territory, Pogačar’s turf, or Lopez to leapfrog Alejandro?

Fraile? Izagirre? Jon Aberasturi? If we didn’t know better, we might think our panel was trying to provoke Cycling Mole. They’ve gone for breakaway but...

Stage 11 could end in a sprint… but it won’t says our panel. Cycling Mole doesn’t think much of some of our picks but one...

Stage 10 is individual time trial day, so all of our panel are going for Primoz Roglič, right? Apparently not. Do they know something the...

Between them our panelists seem determined that Ineos are going to get something out of this Vuelta. Cycling Mole think Stage 9 is one for...

Half of our panel think Stage 8’s single categorised climb isn’t steep enough to stop a sprint. Cycling Mole disagrees. Who’s going to be proved...

Can the breakaway take three stages on the trot? Or will stage 7 finally be one for the GC men? Some of our panel are...

A few of our panel hovered over Herrada, but no-one came close to Madrazo in Stage 5. Stage 6 looks the Costa del Ardennes, but...

No question that La Vuelta’s stage 5 will be one for the climbers, but which climbers? Cycling Mole gets the red pen out to mark...

Finally, some splits in the bunch. Sam Bennett didn’t let the pressure of being firm favourite phase him on Stage 3. Can he can deliver...

No-one had Nairo, so still no score in our game. Casquettes will be consumed if Bora Hansgrohe’s Sam Bennett doesn’t deliver a result on Stage...

A calamitous start for Jumbo-Visma in the TTT meant none of our panel, nor Cycling Mole, got a score on the board yesterday. Will they...

The 2019 Vuelta a España begins, as is tradition, with a team time trial. There’s one obvious favourite but who on our panel will play...

The daily Vuelta prediction game, that made its debut last year and definitely wasn’t reverse engineered from a laboured pun, is back for 2019
