Vuelta a Burgos 2021 (August 3-7)

[Earns1985]

All back together now according to PCS, which seemed to happen quite quickly. Maybe there was a crash to cause the split, and the first chase group waited for the peleton?

But a group of 10 strong riders still upfront, with Sivakov as a real GC threat..

Oh, sh*t.

 

[ice&fire]

Crash at the back of the peloton with some big names: A.Yates, DF Martinez and Vlasov

 

[Red Rick]

Oh *** this

 

[RedheadDane]

Did I just return home to practically the entire Ineos team - sans Sivakov - crashing?

And tomorrow the sun will rise in the west.

Why are you asking?

 

[Poursuivant]

Sigh.

Hope the injuries are superficial

 

[Samamba]

Bernal wasn't looking great.

 

[Lequack]

Not what Ineos wanted just before the Vuelta.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Carapaz will end up as Ineos' leader at yet another GT lol.

 

[RedheadDane]

Alpecin.
Planckaert...

 

[Samamba]

Edward Planckaert? Wut?

I remember him from his u23 years, he was pretty good back then, then he disappeared. Where did this come from lol.

 

[Lequack]

Despite the Movistar bodycheck he managed to win.

 

[SafeBet]

First pro win.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Despite the Movistar bodycheck he managed to win.

He bodychecked the movistar first

 

[tobydawq]

Lol, what a random win. Also a bit tough for the commentators who couldn't recognise any of the riders featuring in the finale apart from Bardet.

 

[SafeBet]

Bardet stealing a few seconds in GC.
Nice performance by Santi Buitrago too.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Aru!

 

[Red Rick]

Did the Ineos group finish?

Complimeted by Albanese coming 3rd. His best result since looking like a future star, about five years ago

EDIT - Jakko Hanninen getting in on the act too.

 

[Netserk]

At least Landani wasn't involved in any crash.

 

[BlueRoads]

I didn't watch, was the crash very bad?

We didn't see the crash but they stood on the road a long while. My guess would be that they would have resumed riding quite a bit faster if it had been a bigger race.
