Vuelta 2024 discussion

[Sciatic]

Is it, where have you been lately?



Weather of epic proportions, instead of floods the heat, a lot of mano a mano, indeed a lot of eventful stages and then Rogla in final ITT to drop the chain only to after drop the hammer. Mic drop. We'll see.

😆

Rogla spotted on his way to Vuelta.

What kind of shape can be expected by Tao Geoghegan Hart?

Axelgaard's favorites

Rather normal by now, to put one star less to Rogla, at beginning of the race.

 

[CyclistAbi]

• Giro 2024 had 46.664 elevation meters
• Tour 2024 had 53.618 elevation meters
• Vuelta 2024 will have 61.522 elevation meters

Pika na i športnega poletja – Rogličev boj za zgodovino

Od Lizbone do Madrida. Začetek in konec z uro resnice, vmes rekordnih 61 tisoč višinskih metrov in uradno le ena ravninska etapa. 79. Dirka po Španiji prinaša klančarski festival, kar je po okusu slovenskega matadorja, katerega forma pa je velika uganka.

There is indeed a danger involved of Landa and Kuss joining arms. So Rogla best to have one on his right and one on his left all the time.

This has to be the worst team presentation for a GT that I have ever witnessed. It is awful on so many fronts.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The English broadcasters appear to have Jacob Rees-Mogg moonlighting as a Spanish translator

He's so absurdly posh that I'm second guessing myself now and am not sure if the guy is actually English

Just...wow. This could be really funny or kinda come off like signs for Rex's Auto Body at a minor-league baseball park...

I like "Landisimosaurus" better?

He also knows nothing about cycling: I am just jumping through it, but I have already heard of the B&B Hotels team (no mention of Arkea), Giulio Ciccone who won the Giro d'Italia, and Aplecin Desssuenink.

The Euskaltel team with "John Berasuri etcetera". This could be building into the cycling comedy event of the year.

Gall is Swiss, apparently; no "former" for Costa as World Champion; etc etc

 

[Valv.Piti]

Jacob Rees-Mogg is an absolute legend for that interview with Ali back in the day. If you know you know!

 

[Coffeeplanter]

The QuickStep kit makes me think of an Alibaba version of the legendary Raptors jerseys from the 90s.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Roglic apparently got lost somewhere between the hotel and the stage.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

UAE jersey with splashes of Pink and Yellow is going to look like a lot of hubris if they don't win this.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic not attending the team presentation, luckily his fans are both measured and traditionally not cynical so there won't be any conspiracy theories to come.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh wait nvm there he is, watching with a lag, did they just have him on solo as a special surprise? That was hilarious.

Mini stomp.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic missing his own team during the team presentation is even more meta than that Supernatural episode where they break the 4th wall and they guys are acting their characters failing to act like the actors

Roglič already starting his long range defense on Stage -1, truly mythical.

Remco or Patrick patrolling?

Remco or Patrick patrolling?

I'm so confused, are dinosaurs sponsoring? Cycling is so weird sometimes
