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

I don't think INEOS and Jumbo will give the break much leash now that Soler is up there with them... They let them collect the KOM points but eventually they'll reel them in... The final climb will be fun to watch...

 

[Red Rick]

Wellens dropped

Chris Froome and Ineos have the audacity to protest the stage start because Carapaz lost the Rojo. He should have ridden faster!
Meanwhile go back to the grupetto Chris and STHU.

I'm assuming this is just a hatred for Froome and INEOS as if it was Roglic and JV protesting it would be justified?

Nice ride by Donovan. Sunweb are riding fantastic with their young team.

Not really.

Roglic was screwed out of 3 seconds earlier anyway, and INEOS are probably the last team that shoudl complain considering Carapaz was actually contesting the finish

Is it about who's complaining or what was the complaint about?
Haven't heard they've been lonesome in protest.

Well I never said a word when they took away Roglic's gap the day Dan Martin crashed. I have no idea if they filed a protest, It happened and everyone just moved on. I certainly did.

Come friends, it was widely supported and Froome is a natural spokesperson given he's got plenty of seniority and influence. They let feelings be known and it's done now.

We've got a lovely stage set up running through the rugged beauty of the Spanish countryside, a really enjoyable little KoM fight, a surprise Movistar attack and even more to look forwards to across today and tomorrow. Let's look ahead

When was the decision made anyway?

Post festum, they say.

 

[klintE]

Today is the day. Carapaz to attack 10km t.g.

 

[Red Rick]

Jumbo keen on pacing the valley to keep Soler in check

It looked like the breakaway's about the KOM, now it starts to look it's about the stage too.

 

[dgodave]

Why are commentators beating up on Gr-FDJ ?

 

[broppo]

It looked like the breakaway's about the KOM, now it starts to look it's about the stage too.

what do you mean? only Martin is interested in the KoM, there are more than 1 riders in the break................

 

[Red Rick]

My guess is San Lorenzo will burn most of the peloton

They'd need 5-6 minutes, at least, to make it to the finish first... and that won't happen because Soler

There was Wellens too, and the gap wasn't growing.
Now it's growing and Wellens' out of contention.

Soler channeling his inner Mennonite

 

[pastronef]

He is now the spokesperson for the gruppetto apparently.

Froome gets to speak with Vuelta guys cause he speaks Spanish too (and French) so I think they chose him for that, and also he has some Vuelta´s experience
