Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 12 (Pola de Laviana > Alto de l'Angliru, 109.4 km)

[Bolder]

The contrast in effort between Kuss and Froome is interesting

I was going to say...

 

[Red Rick]

He's wonderful to have as a top level contender. Constantly trying to find ways to attack

Carapaz is wonderfully aggressive when he doesn't attack yesterday despite needing to take time

Roglic on the other hand should get mountains of criticism when he doesn't attack because he has the time trial in hand.

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

I can't see Ineos' logic behind wasting a rider on this hill. Froome is fried.

 

[titan31]

Looks like Vingegaard and Hofstede/Martens are still there at the back of the peleton

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

Beautiful strategizing by Movistar. Wait for it.

Soler's paying for yesterday's effort...

It's very simple. Froome isn't gonna be much help on the Angliru anyway. And Carapaz is gonna need to attack to win La Vuelta anyway

And for Movistar effort today)

You cant attack always, but the man is usually an agressive rider

 

[Ranagazoo]

Soler showing why the main GC guys didn't attack yesterday, he'll lose minutes today

 

[Anybody_but..]

RedRick furious face would be the biggest Ineos/Sky trophy.
But not this time.

 

[broppo]

froome looking strong, he is 50 to 1 to win the tdf next season!

Just hope Roglic doesn't have a mishap during the ITT that causes him to lose time. He may regret not gaining more just in case.

[Sciatic]

For one year, this is the race of the falling leaves . . .

Because yesterday was totally the rule rather than the exception while he was surrounded by 5 soft pedalling jumbots...

--

I really hope we see Mas actually try something today given Movistar blew themselves up pushing the pace again but I suspect we'll see nothing there.

--

Most fun today will come if someone tries to jump the jumbots (Maybe EF and Carthy) so they have to actually use Kuss but the team strength looks pretty overwhelming right now

 

[Fernandez]

Anglirus coming, whos winning?

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Martin should ask Pinot for the number of that formula 1 training.

 

[Eclipse]

Anglirus coming, whos winning?

Wout Poels

(Rogla)

 

[RedheadDane]

I think Martin should ask Pinot for the number of that formula 1 training.

He just needs to transfer the bad descending to a teammate, like Pinot did with Reichenbach.

 

[titan31]

Anglirus coming, whos winning?

I'm thinking Carapaz. Although if they look at eXh other, could see someone like Vlasov or Poels attack and not be followed

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

Anglirus coming, whos winning?

1. Kuss
2. Roglic

Anglirus coming, whos winning?

Not JV
