Vuelta a España 2019 stage 4: Cullera > El Puig, 175.5km

Wow. If Bennet wasnt on a toy bike, he might have taken this.

 

[Carols]

Yep Jakobsen won! Photo sure beats old eyes

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

That would have been a sprint performance of the season contender if Bennett had somehow won from all the way back where he started

 

[Flamin]

Massive kudos to Quick Step for thinking out of the box by sending Cavagna up the road to isolate Bennett. Then followed by a superb lead-out from Stybar and Richeze.

A "how to beat a way superior sprinter as a team"-masterclass.

Kinda feel sorry for Bennett.

Bennett lost the race on the last roundabout. Took the wrong side and got washed back in the peloton. Great sprint all the same.

And tomorrow, this is the mountain top finish:

Don't know what Bennett was doing on that roundabout. Guess he just got squeezed and was forced to take that line.

Great job from QST from 10km to the finish, as usual.

Good to see Gaviria up there again.

And tomorrow, this is the mountain top finish:

I thiiiiink we’ll see a change in leadership tomorrow.

And tomorrow, this is the mountain top finish:

I love the freakin Vuelta

And tomorrow, this is the mountain top finish:

This is whats at the top.

 

[Northerner]

One somewhat notable time loss today, Jesus Herrada, who was in the Lopez group on stage 2, lost 4 minutes.

Nice one by Jakobsen. No surprise Bennett is the fastest.

I say good on a 22 yo Jakobsen to finish his teams work regardless of Bennett closing fast

Absolutely. Every other sprinter in the race other than Gaviria could have been the beneficiary of that great set up and they’d still lose by a bike length. Jakobsen is inconsistent but he’s fast and young and this is an important win.

I thiiiiink we’ll see a change in leadership tomorrow.

I live in hope for the next 22hrs that you are wrong. Even if its just a fools hope

That's what a better-timed bike throw to hold off someone coming back quickly looks like.

 

[Escarabajo]

So I see in the results that they have relegated to last place in the group to Max Walscheid and Juan Molano. I don't see clearly what happened.

Maybe they'll let Nico go off the front like he's Van Avermaet or something.

Me neither. I did see a bit of a dodgy move by Bennett vs Sajnok earlier on, but didn't notice anything off limits between Walscheid and Molano.

 

[Flamin]

I saw some 'headbutting' from Walscheid. No idea what Molano did wrong.

Jakobsen sprinting with his eyes closed…

Sometimes you just have to let fate decide your destiny.
