WANT TO COME AND SEE WATTS OCCURRING LIVE? Tickets are still available here: https://premier.ticketek.co.uk/shows/show.aspx?sh=GERAINT24 G's back from his summer holidays and ready to return to racing at the Renewi Tour. He's not gonna fly, but he's looking forward to supporting INEOS' strong lineup in Belgium. One thing's for sure though: he's glad not to be in Spain. The first week of the Vuelta has been a rollercoaster - excellent for armchair viewing, not so much for racing in 40+ degree heat. With Luke away, G called up Producer George to run through the craziness on the roads of Spain and he answered plenty of your questions from Twitter. We'll be back later in the week with a classic massage table pod from Renewi as G adapts to life back in the bunch. Watts Occurring is powered by Eurosport Learn more about your ad choices.
