Vuelta 2018 stage 20:Escaldes-Engordany - Coll de La Gallina

[Red Rick]

MAL and Mas already 2nd and 3rd in virtual GC?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Look like a Yates, Mas, Lopez podium. Can anyone remember a younger podium?

Not the first time a first time GT winner started to lose the concentration necessary for peak performance once the end result got pretty safe

Yates is trolling

Trolling = riding looking at his power meter

Coming back in 3...2....

Q should really step out and wait for his leader.

Disappointing from Valverde/Kruijswijk so far

Re:

I think its very much expected. They are 2nd tier GC contenders at best. Both performed above themselves for most of the race, now regressing to the mean.

 

[Red Rick]

Quintana dropping Valverde

Now I have seen it all

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

So Lopez needs to drop Mas if he can

 

[Escarabajo]

Valverde gone!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What is Kruijswijk doing? There's 4 left of the Vuelta. Save your podium for christs sake!

Edit: ok, that was about time.

Movistar never fails to entertain.

I think Quintana would have had a decent shot at the podium if he would have been left to ride his own race in the last couple of days. These stages were way more suited to him than to Valverde.

 

[MuskyOurSaviour]

This is not gonna stop Valverde brigade tell us all how Valverde will win Vuelta 2019.

 

[Stella0596]

Kruijswijk needs to close 20 sec to save a podium

Obviously they were missing the third amigo.

 

[Hayabusa]

Movistar are going to end up off the podium, so much for the super team..

 

[Red Rick]

The real news today is that Wilco Kelderman is gonna make the top 10

Nah. I think he's glad that he can just chill with Piti...

 

[DNP-Old]

Maybe much more important than the podium spot: I fear for Valverde and Innsbruck.

No.

He lost his chance.

 

[Red Rick]

Mas should really just sit on Lopez now
