Dear Movistar, eat ****

So is Movistar helping Pogacar now?

They probably hate Carapaz, like they did last year in Vuelta.

Nibs didn't even pass Pog in the GC at the end... Thank you Movistar

 

[Nin1388]

Carapaz wasted a ton of energy for nothing.

Rose from 19th to 5th I think

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Glad that I recorded the entire stage.
It's gonna be a long night!

 

[burning]

Roglic is losing >3 minutes here, what a disaster.

 

[BlueRoads]

Seriously, Movi? Was that for Mas or against Richie?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The real least expected day is the day where everyone praises Movistar for their smart, aggressive tactics.

Still a good stage although it does feel like it could have been so much more. Kudos to all who lit it up, especially Mohoric with one of the rides of the year.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Credit to Carapaz for trying I guess, hope he keeps it up rather than sitting in the train

Not 5th... 6th I believe. Pogacar will stay ahead of him.

 

[ice&fire]

With Roglic out of the picture, suddently there's a podium spot available.
What was Movistar riding for?

 

[saganftw]

just as the commentators were talking about how intelligent carapaz was riding, he gets caught in the finish because he leaves his attack to 150 meters before the top of last climb ... truly 200 IQ

10000% against Richie

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This stage was way more interesting than I expected.

I dreaded the péloton treating this one as a day off on the bike, because this is the best long transitional stage ASO have greenlit in years, so I was desperate for the race to develop well because, for once, ASO had done everything they could to entice the bunch to action. I am ecstatic that the stage delivered because ASO might learn from it.

 

[Nin1388]

Roglic should just try to win Vuelta again this year.

Tomorrow.

They probably hate Carapaz, like they did last year in Vuelta.

Or Bala heard that Nairo was dropped and order the team to the front to put time into him like the old days

 

[Red Rick]

Tbh I do think Pogacar was *** today. You don't watch Carapaz go when you don't have any of your own teammates left and go "this is great I'll just sit on my ass"

 

[titan31]

Wonder how long Roglic will stay in this race for. Seems a bit pointless to ride around here in pain, and if he's losing it here today, he'll lose tomorrow and Sunday.

Also, Hatch is an idiot for not understanding why he's isolated. He's done for, might as well protect Vingegaard who can potentially top 10.

He went on the penultimate climb.

Can't really legislate for petty teams who are insignificant to the race deciding to chase you down

 

[JosefK]

Carapaz wasted a ton of energy for nothing.

Meanwhile, Pogacar had a free ride all day long in the pack.

 

[woodburn]

Roglic going to Olympics? Might be wise for him to pull out, though he needs the race miles.

 

[Red Rick]

Mohoric giving Vlad the impaler vibes
