It's been an interesting week at the Vuelta a España for our three audio-dirus Pavil

Civicoff of Anya Scrimmadeers, James Knox of the Conant Quick Step and John Boe of

Uskital, Uskiddy.

Unlike the famous previous iteration of Uskital, the team does not insist on its riders

being from the past country.

Boe is from Valencia and when the Vuelta reached some of his local roads at the end of

the first week he really shone, figuring in a couple of breakaways including the very strong

break on stage 6 from which Magnus Court held on to win.

Knox meanwhile has been part of a team that's won two stages with Fabio Jakobsson, whose

return has given the Vuelta one of its feel-good stories.

And Civicoff who wears the King of the Mounted Jersey as I sit here watching stage 9 went

close to a win on stage 7 finishing third by Michael Storer who incurred the wrath of

L-Siv by apparently attacking when Civicoff dropped his chain.

Lots for them to update us on then and so without further ado, let's hear what our audio

diaries have got to see.

I'm a lovely victory today.

I think we did a good job but I think Fabio is the star of the show and rightly so.

This is one we're really going to enjoy as a team, sit down and have a beer at 2 tonight,

make a toast, really lovely, really lovely, to be part of.

I didn't exactly do much but the boys needed a little bit of help to stay up in the front.
