Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 16 (Salamanca - Ciudad Rodrigo, 162 km)

[Billie]

I only just turned in. Can anyone explain why Movistar is even chasing? Do they still trust Valverde's sprint that much?

Rojas

For as long as Movistar chase I'll believe that Cavagna has a chance

 

[RedheadDane]

Come on, Cavagna!

Because Movistar

DQS wins a lot of races but to have brave attackers caught in the final 3 km for two stages in a row would be kind of a heartbreak.

 

[BlueRoads]

pathetic moto work. don't they know how to properly pace an attacker?

 

[JosefK]

Eh, not a word here.

I think I must have mis-heard something. No mention about time neutralization since (at 3 Km).

 

[Red Rick]

IMO this group is small enough that Jumbo should set up a train for Roglstomp

 

[sir fly]

Wouldn't exactly call it heartbreaking, but certainly a pity.

 

[Eclipse]

Well done Movistar you finally caught him.

Now you can watch someone else win the stage

 

[Sciatic]

I’m for rider safety but this neutralizing GC times is disappointing for viewing—coming hard as they are to the finish there could conceivably be gaps to the less powerful GC guys that would add some interest.

 

[Fernandez]

Valverde getting 2nd

Maybe a replay from yesteday.

 

[Red Rick]

Kuss sprint leadout coming

 

[TomLPC]

Bala almost had it, way too far out by the look of things

Cort takes it, loves a random stage

 

[SafeBet]

Cort destroys Bala. Roglic with some bonus seconds.

Luckily for you it wasn't neutralised today.

Valverde gifting Rogl 4 seconds

 

[Wvv]

Valverde had to go from a bit too far out, but Cort wasn't gonna give this away.
Good boni for Roglic.

 

[Krokro]

Gotta love MTS digging deep to reel in Cavagna for a 4th or 5th spot, lmao.

 

[JosefK]

Roglic stole another 6 seconds bonification.

 

[Laplaz]

Valverde gifting Rogl 4 seconds

More like 6

 

[sir fly]

That looked like a tough sprinting.
Congrats to Cort Nielsen.
