Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 6 (Biescas - Aramón Formigal, 146.6 km)

[Devil's Elbow]

Roglic definitely out of the jersey now.

 

[perico]

Why is Soler ahead of Mas?

A Movistar strategical masterpiece? Don’t know. Mas and Chavez and Martin dropping Roglic.

Why is Soler ahead of Mas?

They sent him up the road. Then it turned out Mas couldn't handle the pace so kind of a fail.

Brilliant from Carapaz and Carthy.

Martin looked like he was putting Mas and Rogla in trouble further back, not sure if he made that stick

 

[Eclipse]

Excellent Izagirre double act for the stage win

 

[TomLPC]

Carthy drops Carapaz to an absolute Carltongasm

Never bet against Spanish riders in a breakaway at the Vuelta... Noted

Well, if the race is going on, Jumbo going to have to go crazy with the team now.m rather than controlling it.

Must be conditions here that hurt them

 

[Leinster]

If I was Roglic, I'd give up leader's jersey for a few days... No need to defend it the whole way until Madrid and waste his team... Just keep it within sights, less than a minute... Let Movistar and DQS do some work...

And yes, I'm aware of the Vuelta being cancelled any second now, as some here suspect, due to Covid, but that ain't happening. Spaniards would never allow it... We are going all the way!!!

Looks like you’re getting your wish...

 

[Eclipse]

Wow Carthy drops Carapaz???

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hugh Carthy is peak 2020.

Carthy drops Carapaz to an absolute Carltongasm

No idea how ES find these idiots.

Basque weather for the Basque brothers!

 

[burning]

Carapaz gains ~40s on Roglic, who would have thought that.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Roglic lost 43 seconds to Carapaz.

 

[Eclipse]

Epic finale that.

Good climb from Wout Poels in amongst it all. Had a slow start but he's coming back into some form.

 

[sir fly]

An amazing day of racing indeed.
Doubt it would've been so exciting without the weather element.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Ineos taking two GT jerseys in one day.

This is NOT cool.

 

[Gigs_98]

[...] I don't expect anything of that level, but Formigal is a climb which has a history of over-delivering compared to what it should provide given its relative ease and uninspiring profile [...]

 

[Bolder]

Crazy that a JV team with Kuss, Bennett, Dumoulin et al could just fall apart on what on paper is not a brutally hard stage. I thought that Roglic took red too early; now I'm convinced it was a mistake. Their TdF guys may not have recovered from their thrashing by WvA.

Carapaz otoh looking real good.

 

[Fernandez]

How beautiful is this sport without strong teams

 

[Red Rick]

Oh god not this 'jersey too early' nonsense

 

[JosefK]

Incoming call: "Hello, Mr. Carapaz? It's the Bag calling."

 

[Bolder]

How beautiful is this sport without strong teams

Indeed, but until about an hour ago JV was looking really strong.

 

[johnymax]

I wonder what happened to Jumbo and Roglič there on the descent

Never doubt the magic mountain.
