2022 Vuelta a España stage 3: Breda - Breda 194km

[rallybanana]

Inspired by the profile of this stage I did some research. At 60m, the highest point of Noord-Brabant is a former garbage dump called Dak van Brabant which google translates as the 'Roof of Brabant'.

You trying to tell us this stage is garbage?

Tour De France 2011 stage 18....watch your back.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Luz-Ardiden one fully deserves it. Amazing stage that was.

Probably the best Tour stage ever.

These are the stages where the riders become inattentive. They are human after all.........

Sandisfsn would have a lot of likes to give out.

I would probably have injured my button clicking finger and would have had to quit the job I had at that time to keep up with this Forum. LOL

You would have needed some clinic help.

Luckily TUEs were easy to get back then.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Aside from Bennett, Merlier, Ackermann and Pedersen, is there anyone else who has a shot? I admit, I don't know what younger or fringe sprinters are even here.

 

[shalgo]

so, will Teunissen manage to finish 43 spots behind Oomen for another different Dutch red jersey?

I think Jumbo’s plan is to give everyone on the team a turn in Red.

Gerben Thijssen? He won a stage in Poland so he must be pretty quick. Yesterday, he crashed, though.

 

[bob.a.feet]

If Remco has any balls he'll attack from kilometre zero.

 

[search]

McLay looked quick as well yesterday, and there's also le Coq of course.

Looks like block headwind on the final k today, so good conditions for a bit of a surprise.

We need to dial it back a bit if we've any chance of beating the record of shortest grand tour stage thread... Maybe people could start deleting their posts?

A whole host of posters being banned, Operation Puerto style.

Just keep everything you have for yourselves.

Then it should have happened before the creation of the thread. Now it would be more like the Festina scandal with posters dropping out midrace, because they're worried the moderators will find their pre-prepared posts in their trash folders.

 

[sir fly]

Omerta!

It's too hot for me to go outside, I don't have a canvas left, the Vuelta stage is super flattish, women's EC race is flattish and has the most terrible German commentator, other ECs are endless repetitive canooing competitions. The universe really wants me to work again.
