Doesn’t look like it. After replaying Doom 3 again, I feel like I summoned a demon.

Chapeau for today's effort.
He knew he needs a lot of time and went all in.
The only correct thing to do from a double GT winner perspective.

I suppose it was an easy decision to make and a bloody hard to do.

"post reply" goes pretty fast tbh

Congrats! The man made the race today, great ride. Too bad it didn't end well but days like this define a cyclist and give joy to fans.

Honestly can't stress enough that he could have waited for the final climb today and then attacked and gotten himself in a really good position to make the podium still.

Evidently he doesn't care too much about the podium. We always write on the forum that riders should always aim for the best result (im)possible, and today he did that. Gotta respect the attempt even if it failed.

Also there's a chance he's not completely cooked for tomorrow's stage. Now, that's got a climb that can make or break the podium contenders.

Thanks for racing hard today EB!

What would a Vuelta podium mean to a double GT winner?

As we can see, Bernal doesn’t read the forum like Roglic.

 

[KZD]

He might not have his best legs but still knows how to animate a race.

What's that compared to knucklehead of the day?

Bernal is a real, huge champion... Look at the words he said about Roglic after today‘s stage. The words of a TdF and Giro winner, about a strong opponent.

Egan is classy, strong, and likeable...

If someone has a videolink somewhere I'd appreciate that

 

[roundabout]

upon a sober reflection as gutsy as the attack was, he was always up against it with the distance between the last 2 climbs

had Roglic not responded and Bernal continued it would have been a 1 man vs Bahrain or Jumbo TTT pursuit race with a predictable outcome

 

[noob]

After today, and particularly the interview afterwards I am a fan.

Yeah it required Roglic to come along.

I only referred to https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/be...e-after-long-distance-vuelta-a-espana-attack/ ...

Would have been great if Haig did as well. Would have led to huge gaps.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Didn't profit much regarding seconds on stage 17 but earned respect.

 

[BlueRoads]

Interesting that MAL in his interview said he sat up because he thought it was too far out, so not "no legs", but just not interested.

He is a Racer and alot like Quintana in that regard. He'll be back on top but he has the credentials to be a legend.

 

[SHAD0W93]

I’d be worried about him staying on the descent with them honestly but with Haig it stops Bahrain from working like they did when they could have forced Movistar to work and make it easier for Haig to podium or give up on 1st.

He has plenty of time to win the Vuelta. I'm sure Roglic would like to trade 2 of his Vuelta for a Giro and Tour. Hope Bernal goes for it again but not as far out this time. He ain't gonna win the thing but can get on the podium, but like others have said, he probably doesn't care for the podium (unless he's happy to have podiumed all 3 GT's) and would just ride to win regardless if he finishes outside the top 10. Roglic was a monster yesterday and was surprised only one other rider took it to him. Bravo for trying.
