Vuelta a España 2022 Vuelta a España stage 4(Vitoria-Gastiez-Lagaurdia),152.5 km, Hilly

[Billie]

Double banner. Vuelta specialty.

Atleast no one put his hands up like Ardila.

Still Higuita, Hayter, (Plapp, Ayuso), not the guys i expected to suffer on a 3rd cat climb in the 4th day of racing. (while not really being raced uphill)

 

[Potomac]

That's why I'm a Roglic fan.

 

[tobydawq]

I disagree. You could have expected him to do better, but that doesn't make this strange.

Expect a guy who was top five in Catalunya to survive in an eighty rider peloton on stage four of the Vuelta?

Yes, I'd certainly say so.

 

[spalco]

Not very attentive by Remco.

You never know if Hayter is suffering or just occupying the last spot for lolz and giggles.

Yes, I'd certainly say so.

Higuita was also top 5 in Catalunya. He was dangling at the back just as well. Is he sick too?

Well yes, people were also saying its not a good sign that he's at the back?

 

[noob]

Alaphilippe in better condition than I expected anyway :O

 

[Riek s]

Not very attentive by Remco.

in that sprint? he is slower than both.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Obviously it's not a good sign. But is everyone who gets dropped, especially a 19 year old, sick? Isn't it possible to have a bad day?

 

[RedheadDane]

Shark time!

There certainly seems to be something wrong with him too, yes.

 

[Sciatic]

Lovely spot

 

[spalco]

Yeah, but he should be glued to Roglic' wheel like Vingegaard was glued to Pogacar for much of the Tour.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Why do you take offense if someone is wondering if he's sick? It would be a reasonable explanation to having a bad day.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hayter moving up.

I simply asked why him getting dropped automatically means he has to be sick.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I simply asked why him getting dropped automatically means he has to be sick.

It's obviously not a foregone conclusion but it would be legitimate question to be asked if he would get dropped out of a 40 men peleton.

 

[noob]

Why exactly did he have to take that stage?

 

[Eclipse]

And the boringly predictable Roglstomp finishes it.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I guess the hype was real afterall. Mads Pedersen, that was pretty insane

 

[wheresmybrakes]

The stomp is back

 

[tobydawq]

Pacher top 4, as expected.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Hell. Yes.
