Vuelta 2018 stage 19: Lleida - Col de la Rabassa 154.4 km

Maybe Valverde is looking behind him, sees Yates' face, and thinks everything's OK?

If Pinot can attack out of the "cabeza de carrera", which is going significantly faster than the "peloton", then the Valverde group must be really slow.

At the end of the day Movistar will have to ask themselves how on earth they could end up half a minute behind kelderman at this point

Yates was smart to do away with the riff-raff of that chasing group.

C'mon Mas, ATTACK!!

Yates is a beast.

Rider of the year, no contest now.

What the heck was Movistar doing? They have made no sense in much of anything they've done just about this entire season.

With bonus seconds, Kruijswijk could take second overall today...... just in time for him to break a collar bone tomorrow

 

[LaFlorecita]

The chase group

Looking forward to the final kilometer and what valverde and Mas will do there

Kruiswijk playing this poorly - should be riding hard to get the podium rather than wheelsucking to the finish when the other 2 are more explosive anyway

 

[luckyboy]

Really poor climb.

He's clearly on his limits barely staying with them ..

Maybe he's on the limit just trying to follow.

Yeah, what Valverde and Quintana are doing makes no sense.

They should both thank Bilbao after the stage, he is the only one keeping this from being a complete fail

 

[IndianCyclist]

Gap is maintaining at ~1 min. If Valverde had committed, he would have been much closer

Re:

He might be bluffing, but it looks like he's struggling to keep up.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Kruijswijk looks like hes struggling tbf, reckon he'll drop off soon

 

[rick james]

lol, Valverde done
