    Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 9: Villaviciosa - Les Praeres, 171.4k

    How the hell is Meintjes maintaining 1:50 gap while Remco has dropped literally all of the GC contendors.

    Vuelta a España 2022: Pre-race discussion/hype tread

    Ok then. I was just annoyed of people treating Evenepoel as real top 3 favourite for this Vuelta. I agree that he has the potential.

    Vuelta a España 2022: Pre-race discussion/hype tread

    If I had to pick 10 riders (or even 8) that might win this Vuelta he would be among them. However my only problem is with putting his chances above or to the same level as some riders (for example Carapaz, Hindley, Almeida or Roglic). They all already PROVED that they are able to deliver at GT...

    Exactly, but wasn't your point at the beggining that he had won a lot of stage races, so we should consider him a GT favourite??? Or that he had beaten GC level competition there. But now when we agree that one week races doesn't matter that much when it comes to GTs, there is no reason to...

    Vuelta a España 2022: Pre-race discussion/hype tread

    Yeah that's true, but considering someone top GT favourite because of winning few one week races without GT level competition is kind of strange to me. I know that he has had some good performances on difficult climbs even compared to the best ones, but Carapaz, Hindley, Almeida or Roglic are...

    Mental or random cycling statistics

    Egan Bernal has won TdF without making it to the top 3 on an individual stage (stage 19 that year was neutralized). Till this day his best TdF individual stage result is 4th place.
