Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 11 (Antequera - Valdepeñas de Jaén, 133.6 km)

[titan31]

Lol at BikeExchange after all that work. Matthews was nowhere

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Mas lost the poker there, should've let Roglic take the front.

 

[Carols]

ROGLASTOMP, simply the best

 

[RedheadDane]

Called it!

Compared to Mäder, Cort was caught long before the finish. Not even top-10.

(My nerves couldn't handle this either... I maybe forgot the breathing-thing a couple times...)

 

[JosefK]

TV coverage brilliant down the stretch!!! [sarcasm meter on overload]

 

[Sciatic]

Brilliant!

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

For a second I thought Cort had a real chance, with Rog and Mas looking at each other so much. But yeah you can't really beat the Roglstomp in his natural habitat.

 

[Warhawk]

So Cort actually finish yet or is he still weaving his way up the hill, lol?

 

[roundabout]

MAL and Eiking probably paced the last climb best out of the people not named Roglic

 

[perico]

For the first time, Mas actually looked like Contador on that climb. Roglic was hanging on there.

unfortunately he looked like Contador trying to sprint for the win too.

 

[ontheroad]

Great finish, Roglic played it tactically well but Mas is looking very strong also.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Compared to Mäder, Cort was caught long before the finish. Not even top-10.

(My nerves couldn't handle this either... I maybe forgot the breathing-thing a couple times...)

If it had been the same final kilometer as in P-N, then he might have won though.

Roglič did Roglič things at the end, but he definitely hasn't won the race just yet. Movistar looks strong, and Haig continues to deliver.

 

[sir fly]

Thought for a moment the argument will allow Cort Nielsen to hold on, but...

Alright.
As expected.
A minor gain than yesterday would've been, yet important for the mind games.

Very nice stage.

MAL and Eiking probably paced the last climb best out of the people not named Roglic

MAL really timed his efforts well, he could not hope for a better result here

Eiking is also s.t. with Martin, that is a hell of a ride by him as well.

 

[roundabout]

23rd for Matthews. A little ambition is fine, but he wasn't even close

 

[Gigs_98]

Mas is looking really good but not quite good enough to drop Roglic and if you can't drop Roglic this is always gonna be the outcome. In reality when he first ended his attack he should have just sat up. Would have looked stupid but he gifted Roglic five seconds this way.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Adam Yates used to be good at that stuff

 

[SafeBet]

23rd for Matthews. A little ambition is fine, but he wasn't even close

Well he beat Cort...

Aru lost minutes today, he was not in the selected group starting the murito together.

 

[roundabout]

Well he beat Cort...

Aru lost minutes today, he was not in the selected group starting the murito together.

Oh well, I guess most of us kind of expected that to happen at some point

I just hope it's not the start of a downturn to 'not being able to follow the group on the flat' level

 

[Devil's Elbow]

23rd for Matthews. A little ambition is fine, but he wasn't even close

Cort destroyed his chances yet again, he had to turn himself inside out on Locubín because the gap wouldn't come down meaning the pace was very high.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The only one who can defeat
Roglic now
is Roglic

 

[Danskebjerge]

Bike Exchange killed Cort’s chances for Matthews who was no where near a stage win.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Mathews is a sprinter, this is not surprising

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Lol at BikeExchange after all that work. Matthews was nowhere

It was a decent effort by Matthews just to stay in that GC group but obviously cooked him to do so. The really funny thing is tomorrow would be a penalty kick for him but they've made it a lot more difficult now
