Vuelta a España 2019 stage 17: Aranda de Duero - Guadalajara > 219.6 km

[Bushman]

Casper Pedersen burying himself at the front of the break, Sunweb is clearly riding for GC, not the stage (him being their fast guy).

Well, they still have Waldscheid and Arndt who are faster. Though the finish does suit Pedersen fairly well, he is of course at the bottom of the pecking order on the team

 

[King Boonen]

2 Movi, 2 Sunweb and 1 DD leading the break.

Movistar attacking from the peloton...... it seems.

movi killing the chase

 

[Broccolidwarf]

No, they did not attack, they are in fact pulling the peloton.

WTF is going on????

 

[Savant12]

Movifail.

 

[SafeBet]

Movistar with a brilliant plan or just movistarring?

They need to, pace pretty stagnant at the front.

 

[RunningRouleur]

Movistar... unbelievable

 

[Rollthedice]

Movistar going hard to limit their loses to Quintana.

 

[Pharazon]

movistar being movistar

 

[EganArley]

i think its good what they are doing... they did the same in formigal stage

 

[Broccolidwarf]

All the Jumbos (except Roglic) are getting dropped....... have they seen a weakness in Roglic?

Peloton is around 20 riders now, lead by 2 Movistar and Valverde.

 

[SafeBet]

Alternative explanation: they want to drop all other domestiques so nobody will be working on the flat later.
Roglic is isolated.

 

[bajbar]

Movistar is killing all the domestiques...

 

[HelloDolly]

WTF MOvistar

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Maybe they are just trying to hurt the jumbo/uae guys who are holding the gap. then let it go out again? or maybe they are not that smart.

 

[ruamruam]

Conversation at the movistar dinner table should be interesting tonight

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Behind the diminished peloton, we see 1 Jumbo after another, each by himself, riding hard to make it back.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Movistar have isolated Roglic

 

[Rollthedice]

Movistar is pulling in the break and in the chase.

 

[Singularitarian]

be it friendly fire or messing up the enemy's offensive... it's AMAZING SHOW! (casually pulled back a minute)

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Sanchez being called back from the break

 

[Savant12]

Movi masterplan in action.
