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

[SafeBet]

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

Pushing 53x11 from here to the top of Farrapona and winning.

 

[SafeBet]

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

Could be a problem for Thijssen if he's still alone in the "easy" part of Farrapona.

 

[Descender]

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

They did all 3 sides in 2015

Yes but then that's the Croix de Fer in my book .

2015 they did the easy side in the stage that started in Gap, CdF before Toussuire, can't remember the third one.

Someone needs to try and break Roglic and his team, c'mon.

If the picture shown by PCS is of the group in front of Thijssen, it looks like Trek has given up on him.

Formolo making zero impact on the gap

Froome sitting up to save the legs for tomorrow's triumph

 

[70kmph]

Haha Grenadier Froome cooked

Northeast side on the way to AdH due to the tunnel at Lac de Chambon being closed rendering Galibier-southwest inaccessible as a descent.

Froome preparing for yo-yo-ing

 

[Vasilis]

Nevermind what I said about Froome xD

Ah I forgot about that. Thanks.

 

[Eclipse]

It's getting dark, but it's not the dark mountain in the rain dark. That was epically moody

 

[Devil's Elbow]

First little ramp coming up from 12k to go. Should thin out things a little if nothing else.

 

[Salvarani]

Say less. He got it.

 

[Netserk]

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

2001 was the last time, it was in the stage that finished on Alpe d'Huez. The last time before that was in 1990, same finish.

EDIT: When in doubt, you can look it up on cyclingcols and check the stage profile here: https://www.touratlas.nl/etappekaarten

It's totally dark where I live already (Vienna). Obviously Spain is quite a bit farther west, but they are cutting it close imo.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Chaves done.

Third was Croix de Fer from north east after Galibier got canceled

 

[Cassirer]

Would have thought Olivera dropping would cause problems for the break, but they seem to be managing quite well for now

 

[Salvarani]

Not many riders left in the peloton. 10k to go.

 

[SafeBet]

Chaves gone.

 

[Red Rick]

Jumbo not getting memo echelons are only for your own team.

 

[titan31]

Considering Gesink hadn't started riding yet, looks like nothing is going to happen

 

[Poursuivant]

Gaudu ftw
