Tuesday Shorts 8/19

Vuelta a Espana
Berts been drinking a ton of milk since the TdF. He rode his bike and decided he's good to go! Froome bumps Sir Brad from the roster. Best buds for sure. Kingtana is about to launch into cycling history switching out pink for red. He will need to flick The Bullet though.

Tommy D? TJV? U-S-A? Another great week of top-shelf racing on U.S. roads. For live coverage click here.
