Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 15 (Mos - Puebla de Sanabria, 230km)

[Red Rick]

Scenes when Roglic was dropped all this time.

 

[Billie]

All these guys love Matxin

 

[JosefK]

You can see what it means to a rider and team to win a grand tour stage. Chapeau.

 

[Leinster]

Philipsen! Very nice!

That Bora rider tried to bump him and he was having none of it. Great win.

 

[sir fly]

Amusing stage.
Congrats to Philipsen.

It seems like Bora is raising their team tactics to the level of Movistar today...

I eat my words... Ackerman almost made it today

All the GC lads just stopped after the 3k mark I guess as could see none of them there, although with rain jerseys becomes tougher

 

[Wvv]

Very happy for Philipsen, after some people thought he was underperforming this year when he actually wasn't.
Really promising that he does this after such a hard and long day on such a finish. UAE will regret letting him go to Alpecin.

 

[roundabout]

worst 4400 meters of climbing stage ever

Yes, the TV showed them all pretty much together briefly post 3k mark in a group that seemed to be trailing off further back.

Were they going to take time at the 3km? It looked like there were gaps opening up.

 

[Netserk]

Ackermann looking very convincing as a team leader in the Tour next year.

How is Kirby so bad at calling sprints? Final 500m he doesn't mention any of the riders at the front as he's too busy talking about Magnus Cort Nielsen. When Philipsen wins he calls him Riabushenko.

Someone declared a truce in the top 10?

Well he is sitting in his house in Chiswick London.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Whoever bet on that will be very happy, lol. Philipsen has been due for a win like this, would not be surprised at all to see him take a big one for Alpecin next year.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

UAE really really happy.

 

[WKA311]

Very nice result by Steimle. Ackermann seems to have better climbing legs atm than sprinting legs.

... and Steimle is Morkov today

 

[gunara]

I like the finale. But Bora...
U.A.E look almost as happy as a team who hasn't tasted GT success for years

You have to understand that each time he fails, it doesn't count. Each time Sagan fails, it's a travesty that Ackermann didn't get the chance instead.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

PCS has Carapaz at +1.32?

 

[shalgo]

Ignore the finishing times--the race announced in advance that the times for purposes of GC would be taken at 3 km from the finish.

 

[yaco]

Riders made a 230 km stage into a block headwind an interesting stage with twists and turns from start to finish - Congratulations to all concerned.

... and Steimle is Morkov today

So, what did he think the set-up was? It was Mørkøv and Steimle. Danish commentators confused Steimle for Bagioli.
