The Geraint Thomas Cycling Club

The rain in Spain falls mainly... on the opening Vuelta TTT | Watts Occurring at the Vuelta a Espana

Well, that was an unexpected start to the Vuelta. With the clouds rolling in and torrential rain falling, the teams had to battle the conditions and even daylight to get through the opening team time trial.
Sadly for INEOS (and for the pod) De Pluski was an early casualty, crashing and leaving the race on day one. G's gutted, and pays tribute to the ambassador on tonight's pod.
But G stayed upright and - considering the conditions - INEOS came through with a solid time. Luke watched all the action from Germany and joined G to reflect on a crazy day one.
The boys will be back early next week to update on the action - with tomorrow's second stage looking set to provide similar carnage.
