Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2020: Stage 9 (B.M. Cid Campeador. Castrillo del Val > Aguilar de Campoo, 157,7 km)

really dirty from QS once again

 

[Leinster]

I think that's one of the first times I've seen Bennett post up on a sprint. He's usually a one-hand-fist-pump guy, if he isn't bike-throwing for it.

 

[richwallone]

Soooo predictable... Almost the same result as in the in the stage 4...

 

[Leinster]

This must be really sweet times for Bennet. At first he beat Sagan head to head for green and now he is schooling Ackermann.

I'm sure he's just delighted to be winning races. You'd maybe expect that kind of begrudgery if he was from Cork.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Messy sprint. Ackermann doesn't have it at all, think Thijssen even beat him.

yep, I’m a bit concerned that he’s got his prep all wrong. He sounded very confident before the Vuelta and even after the first sprint. That’s got to be pretty demoralising: a drag race with Bennett and he just got soundly beaten. If he doesn’t find something extra soon, the Vuelta sprints could end up as predictable as the Giro ones.

Given how strict they've become not sure this will stand

 

[MADRAZO]

Those shoulders from Bennett to Liepins should definetly not be legal

I mean, we only have one proper sprint to go (if the Madrid authorities even allow it). Tomorrow is the all kinds of riders up front kind of day, like the stage Carapaz won at the Giro last year.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This really shouldn't merit a relegation imo...

 

[ice&fire]

Podium ceremony taking too long and red jersey shows up before the stage winner.
Judges must be reviewing the sprint.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Bennett x Oliveira??

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Absurd relegation coming up...

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Great result for Max Kanter as well.

TV commies reporting on angry DQS director.

he didn't even got up the seat..

We're all begrudgers in Cork. I begrudge anyone a win except Nibali.

 

[Faserr]

Bennett ist the strongest. But this aggressiv behaviour is unnecessary. He already did this in Paris-Nizza.

 

[Wvv]

He's relegated.

 

[ice&fire]

Everyone will be at the hotel by the time we know the stage winner

lol well Ackermann gets his stage despite getting soundly spanked.

 

[RedheadDane]

Maybe a bit strict, but I can understand why commisaires these days are - still - erring on the side of caution.

Wow. I mean, there was something, but if they are really checking every sprint now like that, the winner won't be the winner in 50% of all cases.

they have no shame at all. Always embarassing themselves.
