I think some of you are downplaying just how strong of a ride O’Connor did today. I mean he put four and a half minutes to other breakaway riders who weren’t exactly nobodys. Not much was “given”, he earned it with his super legs. If he manages to win this Vuelta it will be fully deserving. I...

Do you really think that those 30 seconds would make the difference. It's quite clear his only shot of winning is if both Jonas and Tadej either crash or bonk big time (talking 5-6 min in one stage). Remco is obviously still ahead but I think he will ship more time in the big mountains with...

As in the TDF could be in danger? I mean he could sprint after the crash so surely it's not that bad? Or is just something he will need to take care in the off season (a surgery to fix it)?

Age.

Nah, I think we won't see him until Dauphine. They won't risk it and I don't think his injures are that light to be honest. Two hard crashes in a row surely takes time to heal and LBL is in two weeks time.

Does it really matter? You have couple of miliseconds to react and not everyone will make the right decision for given circumstances. At those speeds and minimal distance from eachother it does take much to crash and take someone with you.

He is not dead you know?

But he has the same numbers as in previous years :D. I would buy that if he would be 2-3 best in the race, but as it stands right now, he is not even in the top 10. Why would his trainer come out with statement like that I don't know but it surely is strange.

You're joking right? You seriously think Jonas is better than Jorgenson? Get out of here.

I think Remco has this in the bag really. Tomorrow is his type of a terrain and I can't see Jorgenson or McNulty follow him when he launches an attack, and when you get droped on a stage like that you ship minutes. Roglic is too far back and doesn't look explosive enough at all to do something.

This is welcome to the team handshake. :tearsofjoy:

Beautiful, Roglic really has one of the aesthetically most pleasing uphill sprint. Doesn't look like he is going 100% at all.

Can't wait to see reactions on this forum when Remco outsprints Pogi for the win.

I am just wondering who will he call out for being the next GT winner? He called Pogacar He called Jonas He called Sepp Who is next? I sure am betting on his next pick, can't go wrong as it looks. :tearsofjoy:

He has some new experience with holding back from this Vuelta, so might as well use it in a prep races to Il Lombardia. I am really looking forward to a duel with Pogacar which would make it the first one in this season, right? Quite sad really.
