That ticker to Kwiatkowski is wrong,

 

[glassmoon]

gps trolling?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Great racing today......

Go Gallopin ffs.

 

[tobydawq]

Goddammit!!

 

[sir fly]

Tony's great!
Chapeau!

Another exciting stage.

 

[The Chicken]

Ion Izagirre is riding a very smart race. That is all.

 

[Laplaz]

Allez Tony!!!

Kwiak not so Kwick

 

[Koronin]

Dammit. I wanted another win for Bala. Oh well. Nice win for Tony.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Gallopin was really strong there. That long straight was headwind I think. Maybe he could be the revelation of this year's race

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Awesome finale. Best stage of La Vuelta so far

No change in red jersey?

Re:

Molard made the first group, so he'll keep it

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Stage

so no mini-split before Wilko

Re:

Sagan is just so crazy.

Why?

Anyway quite demanding finale and he would won if Tony wouldnt escape so he is in some sort of form now finally. Good to see him beat Bala for second.

Nice finish. Great win by Gallopin. Horrible road surface on the last few climbs.

 

[tomorrow]

awesome job gallopin, I know such profile would be impossible in the tour, but what a race it's been so far.

Should we count with sagan again the the pre stage assumptions?

Re: Re:

One name. Omar Fraile.

I kind of agree, although it has been reported that he’s still suffering from his crash on Stage 2 and won’t be going for stage wins until next week.

Don’t know what to make of that given his improved performance yesterday. I doubt he’ll go in the break but if it’s a reduced sprint he’s a very conceivable winner.

Didn't knew about that ... then i'll go with Gallopin

Told you

Because he followed and beat the best riders in such a stage when everybody thinks his level is way below the usual.

Buchmann was at the back after the crash, too. He managed to get back at the last hill.

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Tony Gallopin!!! That was a riveting race from 15km out...great stage

 

[tobydawq]

So the fourth consecutive stage win for a team that hadn't eon on WorldTour a week ago...

 

[Koronin]

Molard keeps red, however with bonus seconds (both at the end and at the intermediate sprint) Valverde moves into 2nd. Valverde also now owns both the green and white jerseys.
Also want to put in a nice finish for Sepp Kuss. He finished 10th today.
