Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 5 (Huesca - Sabiñanigo, 181.4 km)

[sir fly]

Surprised at how good the collaboration still is up front.

Too early for shenanigans.

Impressive geology indeed. Whole day.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Too early for shenanigans.

Early enough to stop doing proper turns.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Well that was inevitable.

 

[Eclipse]

Dan Martin down

 

[titan31]

Crash

 

[johnymax]

Kirby is such a tool...local knowledge pays dividends.
Good fight for the stage win.

 

[titan31]

And Roglic to gain time

 

[richwallone]

Perfect, 3rd GT win for Wellens, adding to 2 Giro stages in the past

 

[Bolder]

What is going on with that crash?

 

[Luthor]

What happens with Martin time?

 

[sir fly]

Well done.
Martin just didn't have enough to come around.

Scenic day.

 

[Eclipse]

What is going on with that crash?

Movistar rider clipped a wheel i think and a bunch of people had nowhere to go

 

[richwallone]

Dan Martin has a knack for crashing.... All the time...

 

[Alexandre B.]

It can't be more Dan Martin that that.

 

[Lequack]

At least Dan Martin will lose no time and seems OK, which is all that matters.

 

[luckyboy]

Maybe Martin could've been with Roglic there. Misses the chance for that and some points. Harsh.

 

[JosefK]

Will anyone get time in the leader's group? I wonder if the race jury will just give everyone Roglic's time.

 

[Eclipse]

Think it should be credited the same for everyone as the crash clearly caused some of the gaps.

I think they shouldn't imo, there were legit gaps there that were not as a result of the crash. Martin and the guys who crashed sure, but Carapaz and others lost time legitimately to Roglic there

 

[johnymax]

Does everybody get credited by s.t. in the peloton including Roglič? Because he was a couple of seconds clear of everyone else.

 

[richwallone]

He seems like he's gonna get the same time as the rest, 3km rule... Loses 4 seconds to Roglic though

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I would hope that Roglic and Grossschartner would get their 4/1 seconds, and everyone else st.

Nope, Roglic had a gap...

I don't think you can say the gaps were 100% not a result of the crash because without it you'd have had riders bridging that space and they'd probably all come in @ .st

Can see an argument either way.

 

[Lequack]

With the big climbs to come I dont think these small gaps will matter much.
