Valverde gifting Rogl 4 seconds

Valverde had nothing to gift really.

 

[Billie]

Why didn't Mas help Rojas and Valverde..

He should have been ahead of Rojas and Valverde would have won this

 

[Fernandez]

He launched too soon

 

[Lequack]

This sprinter guy Roglic extended his lead in the sprint jersey.

Valverde got played like a fiddle there. Jumped on the jumbo leadout wheel, as soon as that happened the jumbo guy stops riding, Valverde panicked and tried riding a 400 m sprint. Cort and Roglic say thank you

A pity Roglic was blocked, I would have liked to have seen him going up against Cort. I think he would have lost, either way, though.

A wild Rui Costa appears!

Tbh been a very long time since Valverde actually contested a sprint from a decent siced group

Rog with half a foot in the bag.

Van Aert should've rocked up and taken 8 stages

Valverde gifting Rogl 4 seconds

Great job by Movistar and Ineos

 

[BlueRoads]

My personal Godon watch: 8th again.

 

[RedheadDane]

Cavagna to win. And then just continue after the finish line so he can get his 100 Ks solo.

Okay, I was wrong. And I'm glad that I was.

 

[yaco]

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

So teams should just sit up and not contest the final ! Maybe they should withdraw from the race !

Valverde gifting Rogl 4 seconds

I believe Carapaz (Ineos) are more responsible for that...

Great job by Movistar and Ineos

They couldn't have expected Rogli to pull a Rogl, could they?

 

[broppo]

I am really tired of teams dragging Roglic to the finish in a reduced sprint where he of course easily wins. So I am glad he got second here.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cort was the MC of this stage. Great to see him win another GT stage after his unfortunate Covid positive right before the Worlds.

 

[Sciatic]

Luckily for you it wasn't neutralised today.

Oops, should have checked my forum source more carefully!

 

[yaco]

Expect fury from Koronin seeing EF did nothing to bring back the break.

well mitchelton scott had no lead out men left in the finale, without that Smith doesn't stand much of a chance so they should have ridden a bit smarter imo.

They didn't have that many options. It's not as if they have to rest up for tomorrow.
