Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 11 (Villaviciosa › Alto de La Farrapona. Lagos de Somiedo 170km)

[Eclipse]

Super hot take time. If Ineos took Froome to the tour he'd be riding GC here.

Sep Kuss getting a cold sweat about tomorrow

 

[Descender]

Struggling to think of a climb as hard as San Lorenzo, that has been climbed so often, and where nothing has ever happened of GC relevance.

 

[spalco]

I think Mr. Kelly might be slightly wrong regarding Froome not caring about money but just "winning races".

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Roglic on domestique duty it seems

 

[SafeBet]

Lastra has been on the verge of dropping for the past 57 km.

 

[Vasilis]

I gotta say, Froome seems to be improving bit by bit, the group is fairly small and he's still right up there.

San Lorenzo is the anti-Formigal

About as bad as Kirby thinking ISN should be encouraged by Froomes performance in the Vuelta

Tourmalet?

Col du Glandon?

Glandon (a stretch, I know).

EDIT: Damn, sniped.

Glandon (a stretch, I know).

Valverde was dropped on Glandon in 2015 for a minute.

Then he came back cause it wasn't that hard.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He just needed to lose some weight, starting with the rain jackets the other day.

Watch him pull a Rohan Dennis to crack Roglic later this race.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Haven't seen a petrol station for a while.

 

[Salvarani]

They will wait for the last 5km on this stage, maybe even just trying to hang on and the ones with enough energy making a sprint to gain some seconds in the end. Only thing that makes sense after this tough stage. Everyone also knows Angliru comes tomorrow.

Beacause it's domestique mountain.

My laptop, along with any object I can lift and throw, won't survive that

When has Glandon been climbed from the hard side? Can't remember even once in my cycling watching life (early 90s -).

I wouldn't worry. Cofidis dropped him on mountain 1 today. Him not being dropped by Hofstede, Wurf and Martens isn't exactly proof he's getting back to any post 2011 Sky form

Well when they do that side they go over the Croix de Fer usually.

They did all 3 sides in 2015

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are UAE seriously riding to defend DLC's 13th place? That would disappoint me at the Tour...

 

[Salvarani]

Why is Formolo on the front of the peloton...

 

[SafeBet]

A group of 7 riders is 24 minutes behind the peloton with 36.7 km to go. The last man in course is Gerben Thijssen, one minute behind this group.

Should make it if they're almost on top of San Lorenzo then. Time limit probably gonna be like 45 minutes
