Vuelta a España Unipublic masterclass 2023: First rest day poll

[Devil's Elbow]

Had to bump Mikel Landa here to accommodate Almeida rather than just put the top-9, sorry Landani fans.

In any case - who will have red in Madrid? Assuming Guillén et al manage to get us there.

Pipo de Clown will win.

The more this race goes by the more I think it’ll get neutralized enough for Kuss to win.

My vote is the same as before the race - Primoz. He had good preparations, looking to be in form and I favor him over Remco in the mountains later in the race. Vingegaard clearly hasn't been at his best and I kinda doubt he will be able to show off megawatts in this Vuelta, fading is more likely IMO. Ayuso is young, talented and can perform salto di qualita (as dr Ferrari liked to say). I won't favour him until he does it though. Kuss is an interesting case - I am actually liking his chances more and more but the TT will be his true test and we will know more afterwards.

At this rate the TT will be neutralized.

Feel like we've had three MTFs of nobody having to reveal their cards plus Javalambre, so not much to base anything on that we didn't already know before the race. Still think the decisive stages will be best for Vingegaard and Ayuso and still think that Vingegaard should be winning that battle, he looked just fine on Javalambre.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At this rate the TT will be neutralized.

If Kuss is smart, he'll pay a farmer to spill some dirt on the road and then buy up all the leaf blowers in the area.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

He hasn't had any catastrophic crashes yet, so I'll just stick with Rogla

 

[chickenlips]

Anyone but Remco.

 

[RedheadDane]

I voted for Kuss, but it was vote with my heart, rather than my brain.

 

[Blanco]

Rogla will win it, Ayuso 2nd and Mas 3rd

They'll make it to Madrid, but the final GC times will be set by a village sign 17km after the start of the Cruz de Linares stage, using timings given by a drunk Santi Pérez watching from his balcony.

Heart: Kuss
Brain: cancel this joke already

 

[BigCoward]

While it's been weird so far. Its nice to not really have a f'ing clue at rest day 1.

In good, old times cyclists used trains to arrive at the finish sooner but JV took it to the next level!

 

[Bolder]

Still on Team Rogla, but Remco is impressing me mightily. Tourmalet and angliru will be epic.

Eh, why did they leave Primoz behind?

 

[Ripper]

They'll cancel the entire mother-f***ing race on stage 15, Kuss to hold on by one second

 

[Ripper]

At this rate the TT will be neutralized.

Actually, they will do a mid-race lengthening of the time trial, but not tell Remco, who will stop earlier and wait around for 5 minutes before he's told where the new finish line is, therefore tanking his chances

 

[titan31]

I think the saddest thing about the Vuelta so far is that even with all the ***, the neutralisations and that first stage, it's still been better than the Giro.

 

[Ripper]

So much for him being king, eh?

 

[Ripper]

I suspect someone at Unipublic loses (their job)
