Vuelta 2019, Stage 20: Arenas de San Pedro - Plataforma de Gredos > 190.4 km

[ppanther92]

I can't unfortunately see it happen with Movistar riding but hopefully Pogacar overtakes Valverde and Quintana.

 

[gerundium]

Pretty insane winds by the looks of it at the top there. More exposed windy sections in the cards?

I wonder how much Knox has lost? Will he lose his top 10 to the Lord Commander?

Think he will.
Edit: only 4 minutes, maybe not then.

HAHA - danish commentator Brian Nygaard:

"Pogacar is the equivalent to a 1st grader kicking open the 10th grade classroom door, shouting "assholes" and running away...... and now they are all chasing him down the hallway".

Laguna Grande is an oxymoron, isn't it?

Can't a lagoon be large?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

I thought there was a headwind ?

A lagoon possibly, but laguna looks like a lago's kid.

 

[Mayomaniac]

This is one of those days when you can't defend Movistar and their tactics.

It was up on the exposed area, they've now descended to a valley so perhaps it's a bit shelter.

"Laguna" means "lagoon" in spanish

Nah we just obviously have it out for them.

He's ninth at 13:23, Soler is at 21:09. I think he'll be fine.

Something's wrong with it.
Laguna doesn't look like lagoon.

Danish commentators (TV2) saying, that the only rider to ever win 3 GT stages prior to the age of 21, is Giuseppe Saronni - who is now DS for Pogacar.

It's a shame López couldn't go with him and knock Valverde off the podium

 

[TourOfSardinia]

can't Astana put a man on too?

 

[Sciatic]

So I guess Movi are thinking they can make it all up in the last 3.5 kmclimb. Even if they think that, why not have all 4 Movis ride for a bit to cut the deficit—instead of one domestique who isn’t as strong as Pogacar trying to chase him down? Are Quintana and Valv saving energy for the sprint in Madrid?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

He's ninth at 13:23, Soler is at 21:09. I think he'll be fine.

Why do you think I asked the question?

 

[Red Rick]

Movistar conflicted cause they must also protect Soler's 10th place.

Not sure they'd find a common cause in that case.
Pogačar's attacking Superman first of all.

 

[Red Rick]

Movistar is getting Movistarred

 

[Red Rick]

Soler is super dead I think.

Pogačar's family by the road today too
