Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 12 (Jaén - Cordoba, 175.0 km)

[Red Rick]

Peloton might explode on San Jeronimo.

 

[hayneplane]

Ineos and Lotto Soudal both looking frisky

 

[MartinGT]

Pidders trying again

The general rule is, that if your surname is quite common, you will often (but not always) be referred to by your second family name/middle name/second first name. Sometimes you get to "choose" it yourself, but when it comes to famous athletes the media certainly plays a role as well.

Nah, esa no es una regla general. Nadie va a pedir que no usen su apellido paterno solo porque es muy comun, que locura es esa? Podra habra uno que otro caso (como Bahamontes), pero esta lejisimos de ser la regla general.

 

[gunara]

The only ones I know there second last name is Contador, Rodriquez, and Valverde

How come you don't know Cobo Acebo, it sounds the best

 

[JosefK]

It looks hot out there.

 

[glassmoon]

ouch... that doesn't look good

The paragraph was only referring to Danish surnames, not Spanish, where the rules correctly are as you describe.

 

[Samamba]

Baier looks really bad

 

[broppo]

omg that looked horrific, screaming and covered in blood, his arm looked broken or something...

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

What... what is happening?

 

[Samamba]

So looks like we're getting a reduced bunch sprint today.

 

[broppo]

What... what is happening?

Bayer fall, he was in agonizing pain!

 

[roundabout]

I am struggling to think who of the sprinters may survive the 14%. Matthews and, uh, Cort going for the stage win the 'easy' way?

Ah, ok, UAE have more faith in Trentin (I guess) than I do. Well, the 4th place on the stage is now known. Sorry, JJ Rojas.

Dunno... the gap's not growing that fast.

 

[Samamba]

Dunno... the gap's not growing that fast.

My guess is that UAE wants to give Trentin his chance. Maybe they want to keep the gap around 1 minute so a group can bridge on the first climb, i dunno

This Roglic guy has a decent sprint. Not sure he'll survive the climb though.

The descent, you mean?

 

[Escarabajo]

Why is this climb (San Jeronimo) a third category? it should be a 2nd cat IMHO!

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

They fight for almost two hours to get in the break & then they might not even survive the first climb.

 

[RedheadDane]

I get your point, but it goes both ways; You wouldn't refer to Bjarne Riis as Bjarne Lykkegaard, would you? Or Mikkel Honoré as Mikkel Frølich and Jakob Fuglsang as Jakob Diemer either?

Exactly! You simply refer to Danes by the name they're usually referred to as.

 

[MartinGT]

Man it looks HOT

 

[MrTea1976]

Roche enjoys disagreeing with Kirby.

 

[MartinGT]

Alpacin Fenix wont have many riders left will they? Thwaites looked a little cut up too,

 

[MartinGT]

Roche enjoys disagreeing with Kirby.

Just doing the job he should be doing. I.e telling it how it is rather talking rubbish.
