Hey look who’s here! The Tour is done and dusted and so its Txirla time! What ya got you old clam?
We got a handful of FSA-DS cat 5 races in the space between the Tour and Olympics for your pleasure
- Ethias Tour of Wallonie started yesterday in southern Belgium and wanders over to the Ardennes over the next few days
- The Vuelta a Castilla y Leon, the former stage race that seems to be trsitioning into a one day San Seb prep race is also today.
- In a couple of days we get San Seb prep race #2 aka the Prueba Villafranca-Ordiziako Klasika.
- Also starting on the 25th is the thankfully short-titled Czech Tour which lasts until tehr day after the Olympic time trials.
There are a couple of other races to note: the Tour of Alsace is being televised if you are into that sort of thing and the Volta a Portugal featuring Caja Rural and lesser teams starts tomorrow. I don’t know if that is televised.
So for any live commentary have it it!
