[Anybody_but..]

Congrats, Rogla!

 

[burning]

Roglic learned how to race this stage from Samu, he should win this.

 

[Simurgh]

Carthy pays for his attack

 

[Eclipse]

Enric 'the magnet' Mas gluing himself to every wheel that wants to actually do anything.

Within 1k and there goes Roglic for a mighty 3 seconds.

Interesting start

 

[Cassirer]

I am not convinced its a good idea to have Kuss work his ass off already...

Well, what Do I know...

 

[Simurgh]

Roglic wins it with a second or two, bonifications excluded

 

[spalco]

Puh, this guy will be difficult to beat in this race...

 

[Zoophonic]

Carapaz looked good too

 

[Red Rick]

Skijumper decides red looks better on him

 

[Simurgh]

Valverde/Dumoulin group crosses the line +55''

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Same old.

 

[sir fly]

Is it a holiday in Slovenia?

I like what we saw.

 

[Lequack]

Man this stage was already more exciting than the Giro GC. Great racing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Must be a fun day to be a Slovenian cycling fan.

When is it not a fun day to be a Slovenian cycling fans these days?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

So this is the way this race is gonna go until the penultimate stage, then Roglic loses it all. Just gonna wait for the excuses for Valverde.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Looks like Roglic vs. Carapaz

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Man Sepp Kuss is ridiculously good for a guy who is nowhere near a leadership position in his team.

 

[titan31]

This Vuelta, or at least there first 3 days look like they're going to be fun

 

[roundabout]

5 jumbos in the top 20ish is scary

 

[johnymax]

Bagioli 10th. Not that far away

 

[Luthor]

Dumo losing time so soon I guess he is not at his best. He looked better at the end of TDF than today

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, organisers are making sure there's plenty distance between the riders and the journos; by putting the journos on some kind of balcony.

 

[saganftw]

these finishes with roglic are becoming somewhat predictable, also good ride by grossschartner

He's gonna win one or two stages, I hope... He mightily deserves it!!!

Yes I was thinking he would still be on his TDF form, which was very good obviously.
