2022 Vuelta a Burgos (2/8 - 6/8)

[Libertine Seguros]

Sivakov is earning his French nationality card by showing more expression on the bike than would ever be allowable for a Russian GC contender. López looks steady. Almeida is, as ever, at his strongest when precisely 12 bike lengths behind the tête de la course group.

Edit: I kept thinking Kelderman was a Kern Pharma rider from the jersey colours there and was trying to figure out which rider it could be

Van Wilder really good. Pacing himself.

 

[Lequack]

Actually, Almeida now the favorite to win the Vuelta.

Van Wilder really good. Pacing himself.

Especially considering he's done nearly no racing this year. His first race since his crash in Suisse, which was his first race since his crash in Liège. Which was his second race after Flèche since his crash in Catalunya. In between down with covid and stomach flu.

Almeida

Almeida ready for the Vuelta.

He's gonna outperform Lefevre's sheepherd

 

[Red Rick]

If I were a GC contender my whereabouts would be 2m behind Almeida 85% of the time

 

[KZD]

Almeida looking very good for the Vuelta, where I always expected him to be one of the favourites. Lopez and Van Wilder really good too and Ineos looking strong. Landa going backwards is sadly no surprise.

 

[carolina]

Yesterday was Almeida's birthday. This was a really nice gift to himself hehehe.

 

[noob]

Is it his highest altitude win?

Not high altitude but not exactly low either.

Not high altitude but not exactly low either.

Catalunya MTF was 2000m or so no?

Mine would be 2 hours, but my best days are behind me.
