I don't know what's a bigger surprise, Aru finishing inside the top 10 against this kind of field or Bayer finishing 5th.

Aru. We all thought he was dead, let's be honest.

The Remora leaving Lo Squalo

?

 

[BlueRoads]

This was a good day for Shadow's planned "comeback of the year" thread.
(Probably not the winner in this race, but more contenders.)

 

[RedheadDane]

According to Danish commentators, Bardet could take all jerseys. Except the point jerseys and the BYR jersey. So... half the jerseys...

Turns out, he did actually take the points jersey too.
Not the BYR, though.

Are they waiting for the urine test results to post all the rest of the classification?

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Missed the stage entirely. What the hell is Aru doing up there?

 

[Bolder]

Last win for Romain Bardet was Classic de l'Ardeche in February 2018!
And he has no pro wins outside of France.

^^this has always been my complaint about Romain, whom I really like, is that he just doesn't win that often. Today he rode like I always hope him to do -- attacking, but at the right time. A descent finish is perfect for him.

I suspect a lot of the other Vuelta favorites were hanging back or still rounding into shape; Picon Blanco looked like a nasty piece of work if you weren't prepared to have to go deep...

 

[Pinot's goat]

I think people have forgotten Aru finished top 10 on Picon Blanco stage last year as well, I do think he was stronger this year however the recovery has been the big problem for him. Hopefully he is not in the grupetto on Saturday.

Amazing to realize they're 800 meters above sea level.

 

[RedheadDane]

They're one K ahead of Norway.
Shall they be "caught"?

 

[ice&fire]

Spanish commentators say Pozzovivo was involved in the crash with 6-7km to go. If he's distanced Aru gets in podium position.

 

[RedheadDane]

They weren't caught by Norway - or the guys racing in Norway didn't finish before them.
But I have no idea who won.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Trentin actually won? Wow!

No, it was Molano again

 

[sir fly]

That was an interesting sprint... wouldn't say disorganized or chaotic, but certainly mano a mano a mano...
Congrats to Molano for doubling up.

Nice landscape throughout the stage.

[ice&fire]

According to Molano UAE was working for Trentin, but when he saw that Aberasturi was faster he decided to go for it.

 

[Black Betsy]

Will tomorrow spin some Spanish metal while uncorking some Rioja wine and be just fine?

Pozzovivo has suffered a knee fracture and had to pull out of the race. No Vuelta for him, the guy can't catch a break. Look at the amount of serious injuries that he has had since 2015.

So is the live coverage available for all or is it region blocked?

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.
