2011-08-20 - Vuelta a Espana: dates / route

I knew there would be someone out there to put me right. Good article that.

Wright, David Millar and Cavendish all won on the opening day and held whilst the next couple of stages were not that tough.

Robert Millar is Scottish and they want independence, so I am not counting him.

Wikipedia tells me that Wright was born in Bishop Stortford but raised in Belgium - he even says his English was very poor as French was his first language. It's in Wikipedia so it's true.

So there we have it, the first three don't count because they won too early, Millar (R) doesn't count because he probably doesn't want to be British.

And Wright was basically a French speaking Belgium.

So technically I was correct. Froome (born and raised in England - if you count Kenya) as being the first not Scottish Brit to wear the Red Jersey.

I think you will find I got out of that predicament with sound logic and faultless reason.

No need to apologise.

Please use google, or just read the BBC, or any artical about yesterdays race for that matter. Froome was born and raised in Kenya and SA. Its in wikipedia so its true.
