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

[Jungle Cycle]

Merlier lost the pedal..

 

[Red Rick]

Affini red I think

 

[KZD]

Bad luck for Merlier, Van Poppel again with a great work for Bennett and Groves badly placed again.

 

[BR2]

I wouldn't want to be the only Jumbo rider who doesn't get to wear red in the end...

 

[Bonimenier]

Bennett back in track after a disappointing season so far. Merlier slipped out of his pedal while in a good position.

 

[tobydawq]

Affini takes the red.

I think they will want to get rid of it in the next stages, which favor the breakaways.

 

[noob]

Benett and Kelderman looks a bit similar :O

@RedheadDane
PCS apparently have time-travelling employees, did you know?

It's alright, Roglic has worn it plenty of times before.

Or take turns each day putting a rider In the breakaway so they don’t have to work.

And they also clone people! That needs to be looked into.

 

[Netserk]

Affini red I think

Oomen next in line.

 

[Billie]

Oomen next in line.

Roglic will have to be at the front tuesday. Also hard enough to create gaps.

 

[tobydawq]

Benett and Kelderman looks a bit similar :O

Do they?

 

[yaco]

Van Poppel has effectively won both stages with his lead out. Reckon anyone
in the top 10 could have won these stages if they had Van Poppel.

 

[Red Rick]

Oomen next in line.

Puncheur finish next - Roglic will have to sprint.

Are you saying it's a spoiler, because the race clearly hasn't happened yet?

 

[noob]

Do they?

Actually yes Bit similar in colouring and facial structures. Not bodies though

It's a huge spoiler, cause it completely destroys three weeks of anticipation.

Oh, I didn't actually notice it was for stage 21. Just thought they had written the wrong dates for today's stage.

Roglic will have to be at the front tuesday. Also hard enough to create gaps.

Is it? I see Oomen only has 4 placings ahead of Rogla, so it will be difficult to engineer.

Okay, it's steeper than I first thought, but I still think a break will take the stage win.

Van Poppel has effectively won both stages with his lead out. Reckon anyone
in the top 10 could have won these stages if they had Van Poppel.

I think it shows the measure of the man that he is 100% committed as teammate when he could probably win these sprints himself ( and only a few days ago many thought was the more in form choice )

Thank you Danny Van Poppel

Isn't the Jumbo M.O. to just wear the jersey for 20 stages ?
