Vuelta a España 2019 stage 15: Tineo - Santuario del Acebo > 154.4 km

[SafeBet]

More riders trying to get in the break. No room to breathe today.

 

[Breezy1985]

Only 30 guys left in the peloton, on the first climb.

This is going to be a crazy stage

Really hope someone goes for it long and gets a bit of distance rather than the usual few GC guys coming to the lask km together

 

[Red Rick]

Hard to imagine the infernal pace on false flats favours anyone but Roglic.

Hard to guess when it will settle down cause the 2nd and 3rd climb are closer together and breakaway domestiques aren't useful unless you attack on the 3rd climb.

Will the head start up the climb be worth of all the effort?

The Danish commentators said that Jumbo had done a Kuss Benne(fi)tt analysis to determine which of Kuss and Bennett should enter the break

Anyone know the story behind the name for PUERTO DEL POZO DE LAS MUJERES MUERTAS or PASS OF THE DEAD WOMENS WELL. Im stuck in work watching with no sound so cant hear if its been explained on TV

 

[glassmoon]

Soler in the break? More Movi comedy on the horizon?

That is the kind of lame joke I didn't know I needed

Buckle up... taking off the Connio.

Some women worked in hydro powerplant on Sunday...

Movistar trying nice things, but people ridicule them because they are Movistar and no matter what they do, it's stupid.

Every mountain stage its the same basically. Rolf Sørensen is especially bad at doing so while Nygaard simply CANNOT drop the Quintana-Valverde narrative, its a bit boring and repetitive.

The funny thing about Movistar is everybody talks about their leaders and the team always end winning the team classification.
Makes me think the team ranking is what matters to the management and the individual GC is left to riders to sort it out between themselves.

Just captures the mood of nothing yet happening, so she must do some selfies.

I don 't give a crap about her selfies...who the heck is she

Chaves seemed to pretty banged up as well. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he was dropped on the first climb today and I didn't see him coming back

 

[Carols]

Valverde said his wrist got hurt, but he doesn't think it's bad and thinks he should be alright tomorrow. However, I highly doubt he'll attack tomorrow with the injury even if it's minor. He's likely hoping the GC riders just go together until the end.

Welcome home from hurricane evacuation!

Bala will bide his time

I hate it when crashes decide events Especially if those injured just get caught up in it. But that is cycling!

I’m a little surprised that Jumbo are keeping the break on a shortish leash so far.

Could be the break isn't pushing that hard yet.
No one dropped there.

Guerreiro became father?!

All too possible, but please let me dream of a hard GC day...

Higher pace on the flat is probably better for Roglic anyway.

 

[sir fly]

Not the toughest ascent, but the bunch is fairly big considering the covered kilometers.
