I guess the AA drama eventually started :O

Good for the race that Roglic dropped time. Now he and the others have to attack Remco and team to win.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What about waiting until the race is over before making such statements?

Did you read the entire post? I think today is plenty of proof how ridiculous those statements are. Even if he tanks next week.

Almeida made it back

EF is going to have a lot of fun with Carapaz.

Remcostomp.

if this is a sign of things to come...

ladies and gentlemen...

we have pog, vingo, remco and ayuso to fight over GTs for the next decade.

sweet.

For a while there I thought Padun was going to ride away with it but the final climb was too much for him.

Carapaz like Landa are not in form after giving it all at the Giro

Delighted for Vine, brilliant ride and a great backstory.

Evenepoel justified the hype today he just needs to prove he can do it over 3 weeks now but he will need his team to up their game as he will be the marked man of the race now after a crushing performance today. Mas was clearly suffering just to hold onto Evenepoels wheel so I don't really get the criticism of him. Possibly just Remco fans who wanted him to pull but I think that might have actually slowed him down.

Roglic looked surprisingly weak and it was a surprise that nobody from the group in behind attacked him to try and take some time off him in the final kilometres.

Number of people who wore pink at the Giro this year: Four.
Number of people who wore yellow at the Tour this year: Four.
Number of people who have held/are holding the red jersey at the Vuelta so far: Six.

Hopefully the booing for QS tactics can cease for a day, it wasn't perfect but more then good enough.

Alpecin has wasted Vine's talents - He should have ridden the Giro or the TDF when you consider Alpecin's paucity of mountain riders - Jumbo was very disappointing when you consider Roglic had no help on the final climb - Bree Vine is a good rider and is not far from WT standard.

Vuelta GC still not in the bag!

 

[Fantastico]

Why? Today proves nothing with regard to his capability of winning a GT.

Was he extremely strong today? Sure. He was clearly superior to most of the other riders.
Does he appear to be the main favorite to win the race at this point? Sure.

Does that prove that he is capable of sustaining this kind of performance over 3 weeks and win a GT? Absolutely not. It's the first week of a three-week race.

Carapaz like Landa are not in form after giving it all at the Giro

They both dropped surprisingly early.

 

[HelloDolly]

Alpecin have recruited some great riders

 

[Earns1985]

Really didn't thought that Mas will be in such a great shape after what I saw from him at the tour...

Will be a great race. Remco doesn't have such a good team, so there could be chaos in the upcoming days..

 

[ice&fire]

Netserk was almost right. Take Remco and Mas out and there"s no GC action.

Vine invisible victory, invisible podium

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Voted for Evenepoel in the Vuelta winner poll on Monday, but would never have expected him to crush almost everyone on the first MTF. Still lots of places where things can fall apart but even if they do, this will go down as the day he proved the GT win is a question of when, not if.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Vine invisible victory, invisible podium

Virtual winner?

How are they wasting his talents? It’s only his second season at the pro level and he’s still adapting to a different style of racing in Europe. They are giving him time to develop and getting a Vuelta stage win will do his confidence wonders, the Tour and Giro are high pressure races. I think Alpecin are doing a great job with him.
