Aure entuluva!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

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

He would be more concerned as to whether Lotto Soudal still have trust in him.

Soler, Gaudu or G.Martin?

Soler, Gaudu or G.Martin?

Should be Gaudu given Soler has had to work to bridge and keep the gap and Martin has ridden actively to make it in and take KOM points.

Still, the real answer is always Roglic

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Soler, Gaudu or G.Martin?

One of the Sunweb guys. It's 2020

So Michael Storer has this ITB.

Sean Kelly mangling Angliru <3

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Soler versus Gaudu then. If they stay ahead that is.

 

[titan31]

Soler looks the strongest

 

[SafeBet]

Martin G. looks cooked.

 

[happytramp]

To be fair, kirby's 'waiting for gaudu' remark was pretty good.

 

[titan31]

GC guys are boring today

 

[bigcog]

To be fair, kirby's 'waiting for godot' remark was pretty good.

Yeah a rare hit on the target from him ...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Soler looks the strongest

Gaudu looks the strongest to me. He bridged over to Soler quite quickly

 

[KZD]

Soler going really well today and will likely climb a few places today.

I wonder why Sosa has been so bad in this Vuelta. He starts to give me an impression of eternal promise.

 

[titan31]

Carapaz down to zero help and Jumbo still won't do anything here.

 

[SafeBet]

Jumbo 5
Ineos 1

 

[Cassirer]

Peloton apparently chillig, and Carapaz helpers are dropping.... Better saving for tonorrow, else thats not a good sign

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Carapaz down to zero help and Jumbo still won't do anything here.

Tour tactics are back.

 

[Eclipse]

To be fair, kirby's 'waiting for gaudu' remark was pretty good.

Will the next great CN thread be Cyclists in plays?

"The importance of being Primoz" ?

 

[klintE]

Storer didn't make it.
Gaudu looks way better than Soler.

 

[TomLPC]

Is it safe to moan about stage placement yet

 

[titan31]

Tour tactics are back.

Yup, and considering that's how they lost the Tour, it's annoying. Do something lads ffs

 

[WKA311]

Zimmermann still there is great.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This was already happening yesterday. And when the route was announced.

GC guys are boring today

Anglirú tomorrow. That's the problem really. The exact same stage could produce vastly more aggressive racing from them if Anglirú was yesterday and there was a rest day tomorrow, but as it is it's secondary and tertiary contenders who are most active, and I'm sure if they fight out the stage here, Soler and Gaudu will lose any gains they make - and more - tomorrow, which is why the main contenders are content to have a 3km shootout and preserve their strength for tomorrow.

Anglirú stages will be raced the same whatever day they're held on because the MTF is so tough, whereas this stage will be raced very differently depending on where it falls in the race, which is why some of us wanted the stages flipped.
