Vuelta a España 2019 stage 18: Communidad de Madrid. Colmenar Viejo -Becerril de la Sierra > 177.5 km

[sir fly]

Movi and Astana with more men than JV.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Powless still without a contract for 2020... Promising rider if you ask me

didn't he extend along with Kuss?

 

[sir fly]

JV men gathered at the front again.

How steep is that last little grade to the finish?

 

[sir fly]

Rocinantes!

How steep is that last little grade to the finish?

Around 3%

 

[Blanco]

I think Astana will go hard on Morcuera, Lopez has absolutely nothing to lose and he has probably the strongest team. And after that all hell will break loose!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Some pretty competitive musette gathering there.

 

[Lequack]

Can Pogacar or even Lopez get on the podium? They now need to take almost a minute and a half on Quintana and I don't see it happening on these shallow climbs.

 

[Lequack]

Noone knows why Trek is pulling at the front.

 

[carton]

You do you, Trek.

WTF moment of the day provided by Trek.

eurosport speculates it might be a DS punishment for missing the break

 

[Singularitarian]

Astana storm coming?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Here comes the Astana attack!

 

[carton]

Trek guys are like: Finally! Thank you!

It took only 100 km to decide the punishment.

 

[carton]

And the breakaway lets the polka dots float away like they're already thinking about what's for dinner tonight.

P.S. Ok bar for a couple of guys who might not know what's good for them.

 

[Lequack]

Quintana doesn't look like losing any time today. I guess he is the leader of Movistar again.

 

[Noddy97]

I love astana!!! Let's go MAL

 

[Singularitarian]

and HEREWEGO!!!

 

[Red Rick]

Hope Dumoulin isnt watching

 

[carton]

Fuglsang blowing the peloton away like its confetti ... and Lopez kicks things off!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Lopez on 2nd last climb?

Crazy!

He is missing people out front (only Fraile there), Astana should have fought harder to make the early break.

 

[perico]

MAL has panache.
