Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 17 (Sequeros > Alto de la Covatilla , 178.2 km)

[Gigs_98]

The big gc showdown they said...

 

[Fernandez]

How sad this GC fight has been all Vuelta

 

[Eclipse]

It's time for another episode of soft pedalling with Jumbo Visma

Someone needs to just go already

 

[huangho]

5k to go... No big attacks from GC yet

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I don't get why Jumbo didn't just let the Bora rider ride away. No need to follow him.

Because they want to control the race, and letting him go, would invite others to attack and use that rider as a target.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bennett getting dropped might help matters a little.

 

[TomLPC]

Wonder what the price was

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hooray, Roglič now only has two domestiques left

 

[titan31]

Damien Gaudu apparently according to Kirby

 

[Rollthedice]

Gaudu has this in the bag.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

How sad this GC fight has been all Vuelta

Was good before the Farrapona stage, has been really poor since.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kuss has to do some work. Instantly slackens the pace.

 

[titan31]

Just Kuss and assume Hofstede still ahead for Roglic

 

[Eclipse]

So bummed out Vlasov had a bad couple of days to start the race, would be much more interesting if he had been in Mas territorry

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mäder doing a really good job at pacing himself but Gaudu just seems too strong.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Dan Martin with some epic pain faces even by Dan Martin standards.

 

[burning]

Kuss looks so easy, and I think Carapaz has nothing to offer.

 

[titan31]

Kuss is struggling. He's gone very red. If Carthy or Carapaz have anything they need to attack

 

[Mayomaniac]

This is worse than the 2014 Zoncolan stage...

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic should definitely have attacked on La Farrapona

 

[TomLPC]

Come on Hugh!

 

[huangho]

C'on Carthy!

 

[sir fly]

Fantastic images.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Game finally on.

 

[Rollthedice]

Hugh goes at last.
