Vuelta a España 2019 stage 5: L’Eliana > Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre 170.7km

That bridge really has grown in in the landscape.

Is the GPS broken, or is the peloton just going super slow?

They decided to give the stage to the break

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder if bonus seconds dont promote letting breakaways get the MTF stages

Today is the day Bol confirms Rabo was right in picking him over Dumoulin

Did they really?! I always thought Dumoulin didn't like Rabo

Gonna be an interesting fight in the breakaway.

Very long Vuelta to come ..no one wants to burn their men too early

 

[Eyeballs Out]

A Unipuerto classic

 

[Laplaz]

Katusha, DD, Trek & Co. will regret they didn't send someone in the break...

 

[Red Rick]

Crash

Nobody seems too hurt

 

[ice&fire]

Boredom > lack of attention > crash

Katusha, DD, Trek & Co. will regret they didn't send someone in the break...

How about Ineos? Stupid team.

 

[Cinemaniak]

Silly move from the Bahrain Merida-riders

Katusha, DD, Trek & Co. will regret they didn't send someone in the break...

Especially Caja Rural and Euskadi

The fact that such a silly break gets this stage is exactly what I hate about the Vuelta.

 

[Angliru]

Positive post from you....aw that’s sweet

A one liner from you....aw that's typical.

 

[slosada]

Difference is now over 11 min with 30Kms to go.
They were thinking 5min was safe for the break to win the stage... they will get far more than that

Yes, this isn't the best advertisement for the race. Pretty horrible actually.

Gavaria down again... This guy has all the luck this year...

 

[Keram]

I hope slow pace means we will see the fireworks in the finale. I am surprised that only three are in the BOTD. Lot of guys will be angry after today they didnt give a try for a break. Anyway I hope last climb will deliver cause I ditch local football game because of this.

This could be the finest Vuelta MTF showdown since Lindeman stormed clear of Koshevoy

 

[Finn84]

Mühlberger abandons

Oh yeah, I remember that MTF. Dont remember the name though, but was the first MTF 4 years ago. Much easier though if I remember correctly, small timegaps before the amazing Andorra stage.

 

[huangho]

Oh Bahaus...

See this mess...
