Vuelta 2018 Stage 4:Vélez-Málaga - La Alfaguara 161.4km

[spalco]

Excellent win though.

 

[woodburn]

Nice with for King.

 

[Scarponi]

All
That work from Lotto for nothing

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Manny B!!

 

[spalco]

Don't understand why the Movis are quite that tranquilo.

 

[Red Rick]

Impressive by Yates

 

[burning]

Kwiatkowski keeps the jersey, and Valverde just did his usual sprint

 

[fuiers]

Kwiatkowski still on red? Valverde and Yates very close now.

 

[perico]

Strong ride by young Enric.

Re:

Who is gonna be in red?

Kwiatek

 

[LaFlorecita]

I was rooting for Stalnov, but that was quite some sprint by King. Nice time gain for Yates and Buchmann. Valverde with a useless sprint, just actually attack for once...

 

[Eclipse]

Lotto are no Sky that's for sure. No idea what to do when Yates went. The others may have given him a bit too much space but it's early and I can understand why they'd not be too concerned given what happened with him at the Giro

Buchmann is closer than Yates. He was +32 before today's stage

 

[Gigs_98]

Lotto NL looked strong but still this was an absolute Rabofail. Working their a***s of on the whole climb and then neither attacking nor chasing down the attacks, basically gifting Yates and Buchmann over 20 seconds.

I'm impressed by Kwiatkowski.

Top 5 is possible this year. Maybe podium?

Forgot him all together.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gallopin ready for helping role in Innsbruck, it seems.

Yates and Buchmann very impressive.
Valverde working for Quintana who didn't try anything. As expected.

 

[sir fly]

S.P. Yates using every opportunity he gets... smart tactics.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Stage

GC

 

[luckyboy]

If Buchmann made up the gap so quickly then you have to figure the GC group wasn't exactly flying to try and catch Yates

 

[Eyeballs Out]

They didn't even bother showing Lopez come in ahead of the red jersey group

Also impressed. Yes, maybe even podium, is the best TTrialist from GT contenders.

 

[Laplaz]

Buchmann to podium La Vuelta.

lol Valverde rode for himself bar accidentally ending up on the front after nobody wanted to let him just sit back in having attacked the group. Quintana was never going to do much on a day like this. Not his sort of climb and not his sort of heat.

Yates & Buchmann did look good though

Sky not looking so hot and early in the race. Good win by the break. Zakarin leaking more time.
