Good week/Bad week: Who's up and who's down after the first nine stages of the Vuelta a Espana 2022?
Good Week Jay Vine Ad Vuelta a EspañaLa Vuelta: How to watch Stage 10 as pivotal time trial day beckons4 HOURS AGO “Good” doesn’t come close to describing how well it’s gone for the 26 year-old Australian in the first week of his second grand tour. To take one win at this level, as Oscar Wilde didn’t say, can be regarded as fortunate, to take two begins to look like brilliance. Just as the Americans, Brits and Australians were viewed with some disdain as they began to make their mark on cycling all those years ago, so the next generation of riders breaking through who reveal their potential via online platforms have been looked upon through snobbish eyes.

Will Virat Kohli continue playing shortest format for India post T20 World Cup?
BCCI or will it be Virat Kohli? Kohli the T20 batter is playing from his memory but it is now quite evident that his methods are not working quite well enough for him in this short-duration-high impact game. Nor is it allowing the Indian team to make optimal use of its resources. The 20's or 35's are coming but not at a strike-rate of 150 (it was 102 plus against Pakistan on Sunday). So can Kohli be dropped from the T20 World Cup squad? Not even in your wildest of imagination even if he isn't scoring runs at a breakneck pace. But can Kohli continue playing for India in this format post the T20 World Cup in Australia? Well, even if the people, who are in decision making positions know the answer, they won't spell it out. That is a question that has been doing rounds of the corridors of Indian cricket since the 'Desert Debacle' last year when India made a pre-mature exit from the T20 World Cup . That was Kohli's last tournament as India's T20 captain and he had then relinquished captaincy of one format thinking that it would help him ease his workload and free him from burdens of leading the side across all formats. One year down the line, even if Kohli doesn't have any regrets, the move didn't work out as it he would have envisaged and subsequently was removed from ODI leadership and the intelligent man read the signs and surrendered his 'virtual arm-band' in a format where his numbers were phenomenal. While Kohli recently opened up about his recent struggles with mental health issues in a refreshingly candid interview with 'Star Sports', a case of burn-out can't be ruled out.

Enric Mas, Carlos Rodriguez and Juan Ayuso - the Spanish trio keeping Remco Evenepoel on his toes at La Vuelta

South Africa's Meintjes powers to stage win at Vuelta
South Africa's Louis Meintjes powered to victory in stage nine of the Vuelta a Espana with a lung-busting solo effort on Sunday as Belgian Remco Evenepoel extended his lead at the top of the general classification. It was Meintjes' maiden stage win at the Vuelta as he emerged the strongest among the nine-man breakaway group, finishing more than a minute ahead of Italian duo Samuele Battistella and Edoardo Zambanini. Evenepoel put in another strong showing, pulling away from his general classification rivals in the closing stages to cross the line fourth and open up a minute 12-second lead over local favourite Enric Mas.
