I do not know what to make of what he said about the plan for today and the team. Was he joking? I do not think so. Also, he rarely is so direct and he rarely says something in these interviews and today he did. The only other time when he was saying something substantial was last year's Vuelta.
Maybe I am overthinking it and he was being playful...

Not bad for an old, washed-up skijumper. I guess he still has something left to offer.

The other time it was "ah well my team just started to pull ah". Obviously along with the "ah its better to win time than lose 2 minutes" or "ah yes a nice win, now in the lead, thats better than being 5 minutes behind"
Of course it was Roglic telling them to chase and get an easy break up the road. He wanted to win on a perfect stage for him. Riders just don't start randomnly pulling, and the DS just doesn't say out of the blue ah well lets chase.
No mention of the back though. If he says his back is hurt now Im losing it

It's like he's reached a later level in an RPG and he recently unlocked 'MTF rage mode' or something like that allowing for a long ranger from the bottom to the top of a unipuerto stage.
the way Red Bull (& Martinez) obliterated the bunch at the foot of the climb was delirious stuff.
I'm so happy for him to be able to do that & win this thing with style.

Bora provided a serious punch to the face. Mas and Carapaz couldn't move until Primoz was gone and then completely blew when they attempted to catch up. Is that a Stomp?
On to tomorrow where the terrain is longer and gaps could be larger. Bora looks rested and up for the fight.

If Roglič and Martinez don't go to Fleche next year I'll lose it.
It was a Romp.

It was a Grand stage, and I had a Great time watching him stomping from 5K out. Tomorrow seeing him back in Red will be blissful, he looks so good in Red!

I was talking about best climbing perfomance on his career. Probably this is, his best perfomance ever in terms of pure power.

He had a very similar VAM of around 1900 m/h on Lo Port (Catalunya, 2023) for similar duration. Comparable efforts, today maybe slightly better because he rode alone.
This will 1000% cement his attempt at the tour again next year . Almost hitting 7 gives him an 10% chance against the two mutants

This was a steep climb, of course VAM will be higher. Congrats Rog, you will be a 4 times Vuelta winner.
