Vuelta 2017 stage 19 Caso (Parque de Redes) - Gijón 149.7 km

[Pantani_lives]

Finally De Gendt rewarded for his attacking spirit!

Garcia went too early. Damn. TDG has a stage victory in all three now though.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Honestly, what the **** was Roche doing there?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Garcia lost his cool

 

[d-s3]

Pity that they did it half-hearted (Pantano not waiting)

 

[Eclipse]

De Gendt is always good money for his wins. A man you can never begrudge victory

Re:

No Clue. Doing his best to come last in the group perhaps?

 

[ruamruam]

Roche rode that finish like an under 16 in his first race

 

[mojomonkey]

I don't speak the language but still like listening to the Sporza commentary. Was great hearing them watch De Gendt in the sprint

 

[Puccini]

THE BOSS!!

Would have be nice if he'd been there too.

Has the descending skills of his dad but not the smarts sadly

 

[Eclipse]

It will be nice of Sky to give Alberto the charity of 30 seconds today. Honouring his retirment ride by not chasing too hard. They have no real reason to after all

I hope the gap stays over 25 seconds.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Sunweb chasing Contador.

 

[Aristarchus]

The gap is getting clawed back quickly.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The most deserving winner in the history of cycling - he's pretty much worked all year, in every race, for this

- and BTW, what a Vuelta Lotto is having, completely unexpected for more or less everyone.

 

[infeXio]

Other teams chasing Contador :lol:

 

[webvan]

Bertie wasting energy for tomorrow I'm afraid...

BMC tactics.

Probably not, Sky has many riders there and the other teams may help too. Probably a waste of energy, unfortunately.

Aaaand Sunweb chasing, just like expected.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Navarro wins the combativity. Why not García?

 

[PremierAndrew]

Re:

Trying to get back into the top 10 GC there? He was unlikely to win after his solo attack failed anyway

 

[d-s3]

Would like to see whether Sky is pulling. They should not.

 

[RedheadDane]

As far as GT stage wins goes, this was a rather low standard by De Gendt standards.
