Vuelta a España 2022 Vuelta a España stage 7(Carmago-Cisterna), 190km medium mountain

[Samamba]

Why is Pedersen not a giving in Denmarks WC selection?

 

[Volderke]

It's simply not steep enough for a W/kg kind of domestique as Ellissonde to drill it. He's eating too much wind as aero plays a bigger role than percentages.

It's a small, but very strong group. Agreed that Groves move yesterday was a bit weird knowing today might be his best shot at a stage win. Even tho I don't believe he beats Pedersen.

If Groves can get into a good position ( which is no certainty ) he is faster than Pedersen.

 

[Samamba]

Bennett really good his best form again out of nowhere.

Is there a serious headwind or?

Bennet is still near the middle of pelton, and they didn't even gain any time on the break. This is a pedestrian pace.

 

[yaco]

I suspect if Bennett is dropped then Van Poppel could just about win the stage.

 

[Earns1985]

Bennett still looking comfortable in the middle of the peleton..

Not hard enough, yes, but with e.g. Wright in front trying to keep the gap, the tempo is definitely high.

Bennett has had 5 consecutive rest days

 

[Lequack]

I guess this is another Sam Bennet win, congrats! Shortest stage in this Vuelta!

 

[Netserk]

I don't think they will catch the break.

 

[noob]

I honestly cannot get over the weirdness of this stage.

 

[Faserr]

Trek is going nowhere in that way

 

[glassmoon]

So what exactly did Trek accomplish?

 

[Lequack]

So what exactly did Trek accomplish?

They spent their sprint train.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Trek now with whole team at the front.. they will definitely try to drop Bennett..

now dropped!

 

[glassmoon]

now dropped!

too late, i'd guess...

 

[Volderke]

So what exactly did Trek accomplish?

They dropped Bennet and kept the break more or less in check.
If they didn't drill it, the stage was lost anyway, long before the top of the climb.

 

[Earns1985]

They spent their sprint train.

They dropped now everyone.. will be interesting, if Bennett can come back.

By the way also Evenepoel only has two teammates left..

they dropped him too late... he'll get back

3, (Julian is in another sweater) but yes, his team has been decimated by the tempo sligthly above bennet speed on a climb.

 

[Netserk]

they dropped him too late... he'll get back

I don't think so.

 

[roundabout]

I think Bennett gets back unless some team steps up and helps Tiberi

 

[Lequack]

Will the organizer pull out the cars like yesterday when Molard was trying to get back? I doubt it.
