Roglic was the biggest wheelsuckerLOL Roggers beat wheelsucker in sprint
Free ride for Roglic all day and then outsprints Valverde.
Loads, it's just the race doesn't go in the places they often are, such as the Terras de Eo. There's also a lot of lopsided climbs which would be technical descents, but are usually climbed from that side. The Urkiola is a technical and tricky descent which has been pretty decisive in the Emakumeen Bira, but 99 times out of 100 the péloton will climb that side because you've got 3,3km at about 4% on one side, and 6km at 9% on the other, which one are you going to climb?Are there no technical descents in Spain? Never seems to be a big worry on here like France or Italy
Exactly, Roglic played it fine with the lead he has. Valverde looks happy to finish on the podium.And what did Bala do, one little attack and then suck wheel! Roglic is in the jersey he doesn't need to attack.
Roglic was the biggest wheelsucker
If you see his palmares in the big races, his wins come always after a sprint. I don't think he is boring but he always strikes me as the guy that could do something more but he doesn't have the guts to go all out. Seriously why does he need another podium in the vuelta? It is so annoying and frustatingValverde is such a boring rider
Agreed, so your post should have said wheelsucker beats Valverde in the sprint.Correct, but that's all he had to, he has no reason to do any work.
Yeah, everything looks settled.Race settled:
Roglic wins
Movistar 2nd and 3rd
Lopez white
Pogacar: Might attack but he already exceeded expectations for this race plus has no team.
LOL.
