Vuelta a España 2022 Vuelta a España - stage 8: La Pola Llaviana - Collau Fancuaya. 153.4km. Mountain

[noob]

Almeida and Ayuso finished together. I wonder if they actually helped each other :O

 

[sir fly]

Less dramatic than two days ago behind Vine.
Status quo sort of.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Vine is a phenom, how did he lose so much time early? He would be fighting for the podium. Remco still very strong and now there are three guys clearly in front, with Mas and Roglic. Primoz more promising today, he's still in the game.

 

[Extinction]

Vine 2+2=4444.

 

[ontheroad]

Another insane performance from Vine, he will be wondering now whether to stick or twist in terms of riding for a GC placing. A lot of riders will be glad that he opted to lose almost 10 minutes on Wednesday.

QS doms rode and controlled very well today but Roglic looked better and will be happy with that result.

 

[SHAD0W93]

I can't believe commentators are still speculating about someone from the peloton winning the stage. If that has to happen, Jay Vine and Landa both have to have a massive breakdown on the climb.

Well there was half a massive breakdown of just Landa.

 

[Big Doopie]

vine not used to riding on the road, scared to take both hands off his bike for the victory salute.

used to having his bike firmly in a trainer on zwift.

(lol at the angry emojis. whassup? it's just a freakin' joke. i ride on zwift more than on the road and i am terrified of taking both hands off my handlebars. joke, joke, seriously...?)

 

[JosefK]

Oh, another tough stage tomorrow? Great Vuelta, so far. Looking very promising. Chapeau, Vine. New star made.

He isn't going for the GC so the time loss was a choice.

But it's not credible.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Apparently that was Gesink with Roglic not Kuss?

Rolled in in 11th

 

[KZD]

Remco impressive again today however Roglič was much better today so the Vuelta is still wide open but these two and Mas should be the podium if no incidents happen.

Vine magnificent, what a rider he is

Podium set

At least according to the TV crew. Didn´t even bother to show us the 2nd GC group or anyone that finished after Yates/Rodriguez.

 

[houtdffan]

If Remco wants to, he can win this by 10 minutes. Looked like a low effort climb from him. Just went to the front and ground down the others again

Less dramatic than two days ago behind Vine.
Status quo sort of.

Yes, apart from lots of the top-10 riders once again losing a truckload of times, and the two spanish climbers emerging as the top-5 favorites behind Roglic, Mas and Remco. Also, Roglic showed he's still in it, so all in all, a pretty good MTF all things considered. Wasn't fireworks, but last climb was ridden super fast.

[Devil's Elbow]

PCS must be wrong with Gesink in 11th and TGH not with the first 40 riders...

Tao came in behind Reichenbach. And he is missing in the result, so must be him.

 

[Netserk]

Evenepoel still the clear favourite but Roglic getting stronger can only make this race better.

Let's hope it's not too late for a nice heatwave. Sierra Nevada is make or break for him.

If Remco wants to, he can win this by 10 minutes. Looked like a low effort climb from him. Just went to the front and ground down the others again

I think that is a bit to optimistic, he had a little left, but if he could have dropped them i think he would have

 

[Valv.Piti]

I cant see Tao in the rankings. Sivakov lost 2 minutes, Carapaz lost a lot more. That leaves Carlos Rodriguez as their only real option, and it leaves 3 spaniards in the top-5. So much for the crisis, brighter times ahead for the nation of Spain!

 

[Tonton]

Jai Vine clearly is the best climber in this Vuelta. Bravo! I'm disappointed that my chouchou didn't win, but Vine wasn't going to be denied. Remco was very strong today. Great stage.

 

[Didinho]

Maybe QS is better than People expect, impressed by Van Wilder today.

He was very good in Burgos, expected this from him

 

[houtdffan]

I think that is a bit to optimistic, he had a little left, but if he could have dropped them i think he would have

Not enough of a time gain opportunity today with how late he left it. Especially with the finish tomorrow. That is basically the last stage where I can see Remco losing this race. I though today would be the harder stage for him, and he handled it just fine

Hi guys i couldn't watch the final climb, how did Fausto do?
