Vuelta a Burgos 2021 (August 3-7)

[Hugo Koblet]

Ah, I totally overlooked him today. How much time did Bardet lose?

1'55 or thereabouts.

 

[Red Rick]

About two minutes.

Landa in front of Aru, what, is this the 2015 Giro?

I heard Contador was isolated on a leisurely ride today.

Can't be a coincidence

Wow, Carthy is quite a bit better at Spanish than Horner very nice accent, actually.

GC:

 

[Hugo Koblet]

1. Landa
2. Aru
3. Padun
4. Sivakov
5. De La Cruz

 

[BlueRoads]

Okay, Aru up there is a fun result.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wow, Carthy is quite a bit better at Spanish than Horner very nice accent, actually.

He's does live there and has ridden for a Spanish team, so it's not really a surprise. Not that it takes much to overshadow Horner though.

Maybe, but Anglo-Saxons not having traces of their home accents when speaking is always a surprise to me.

 

[Rollthedice]

Fun climb. Padun smashing it on the wrong part, Bernal's minute of glory, another Jay trying to do a Hindley, Bardet showing us again why he has so few wins, Carthy loving the steep part, Landa not showing off but actually winning a race and the return of the Aru, today Zubeldia style.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Aru is alive and Einer Rubio is finally living up to his potential/what he showed in the u23 ranks.

 

[Red Rick]

Maybe, but Anglo-Saxons not having traces of their home accents when speaking is always a surprise to me.

Yeah I was typing a post when I heard some Spanish then I clicked the stream and saw Carthy and was a bit wtf.

 

[Mayomaniac]

He picked up a Navarran accent when he rode for Caja Rural.

Sure, he's definitely put the work in.

 

[fuiers]

Just came back here to say that Landa my hero! You gorgeous rider.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Okay, Aru up there is a fun result.

Contract year...

 

[Pinot's goat]

Contract year...

Last year was contract year as well and he was poor, people like to make out he does not try when really it's the opposite, recovering from the iliac artery issue is not easy.

Last year he was also top 10 in the Tour de l'Ain and Burgos and 5th in the Mt Ventoux challenge. He can still get decent results in smaller short stage races and one day races, his recovery on the other hand is gone. He can no longer handle consecutive mountain stages and after trying to hang on for dear life for waaay to long in a gt he just cracks hard.

 

[KZD]

Bernal is looking in a really good shape for La Vuelta but Landa also well.
Good win by Carthy and nice to see Rubio stopping to wheelsuck.

GC:

Mythical podium.

 

[Netserk]

Mythical podium.

Unfortunately I've only seen the three with masks on.

Could watch this race but what happened to Bardet ? Seemed he was going to win GC


Got to say I am very happy to see Aru up there ....what a dreadful few years he has had and he must have fought to get back up there

Would love Landa to win GC as he deserves a break after all his crashes

Bad legs for Bardet, he had quite a drool, but I don't know if the heat got to him.

He says that his back was very stiff after his crash and hopes it will improve before the Vuelta.

Ta.

 

[Nirvana]

It is quite incredible, also the way he came back to his level after all these injuries. Hopefully it's not the end of an interesting career.

He'll get another metal plate to add to his collection and in june he'll finish top 10 in Tour de Suisse again.
