It is all too serious in the peloton
Thirsty work, this bike racing is
Heading for the finish
Le Tour podium it isn't, but the trophy is worth it
Gregorio Ladino (Fénix-Baninter) leads the vuelta
Gregorio Ladino showing off his trophy
A long, hard road out of town
How laid-back can you be
A long, slow slog of a climb
The rest of the peloton wondering if the climb will end
