That was insane by Majka. First attack at over 120k to go and solo for the last 85 or so.

Very happy for Majka, he just gave an emotional interview about dedicating this win to his dad who had passed recently.

Epic ride and victory by Majka, congrats! As expected, almost no GC action today so the weekend turned out to be a draw between big guys.
Good news: Eiking and his team are looking good. This will force the big guys (especially Movistar) to ride aggresively on Covadonga already (they won't save themselves and wait until next day's Gamoniteiru) making the 3rd week more exciting.

a whole hour it seems based on
La Vuelta ciclista a España 2021 Stage 15 results
La Vuelta ciclista a España 2021 Stage 15 from Navalmoral de la Mata to El Barraco was won by RafaŠMajka before Steven Kruijswijk and Chris Hamilton. Odd Christian Eiking was leading the general classification.

So, that concludes a Mountain stage weekend, MAL gaining 2 seconds, yates gaining 15 seconds. Could anyone ask for more?

Jumbo team car seems to be persisting with their modus operandi of trying to win by as little as possible, but besides Yates is far back enough that they don't really need to worry about expending too much energy chasing him on that kind of move seeing as the only rider he was liable to be a threat to the position of was Bernal.
At the same time, with a rest day tomorrow, there really was no harm in not gifting time to others Peyresourde-style. Eiking and Martin are just happy to be where they are, and nobody bar Mas and López are an immediate threat to Rogla on that kind of move because the amount that can be gained even if they don't bother chasing is fairly limited.
Or maybe they were just confused because Adam Yates decided to race a bit more like Simon Yates.

I was worried for Aru but no problem, he finished 23' minutes behind.

I would argue they gave Kruijswijk a chance to win the stage.

This is their solution to the 2016 problem. If the riders are going to make you look weak by treating the time limit as a joke, make the time limit a joke so they don't have the chance to make you look weak.

He did attack during the Tour, but he didn't get much out of it. Still he was more visible than usual.
The last two stages he has covered attacks. The one by Martin yesterday he tried to distupt. Eiking was already near the back, so it made better sense to follow Martin than to set the pace. In the end it worked out, just like today, and Eiking didn't lose much time.
I still believe Eiking might crack at some point, so having Meintjes as a back up isn't a bad idea for the team.

Did you miss the goats sighting today as well? I didn't mind this stage too much, but I feel like I missed out on the goats.

If Roglic has the right form in this Vuelta (even something close to his Tour 2020 form over 3 weeks), the final result won't be close.
By this point in the race 2 years ago there had been an individual TT. And Thursday's battle on the Gamoniteiru will be something like the Col de la Loze in the 2020 Tour de France (or the Angrilu in last year's Vuelta).
Honestly, Movistar as a team aren't as strong as JV because they're down 2 riders & Ineos are also down 2 riders. So barring crashes/unforeseen stuff, it looks like both Wednesday & Thursday will be watts battles in the final kilometres because JV have the collective power to bring the race down to those final climbs.
I would not bet against Roglic winning with a nice margin right now.

So... quick recap of today:
Everyone attacked right off the bat. One group seemed like they got away, but didn't, partly because Kuss. After a while a large group finally got away, among them riders like Majka and Aru. Elissonde abanonded, except it was actually the apparently very similar-looking Reijnen. Majka attacked with Aru. Aru got dropped. Kruijswijk - who were also in the front group - chased. Chris Hamilton was also there. Eiking defended.
And Kron talking about how he probably needs to give coffee to the mechanics because he shouted at them during the stage.

Thanks for the recap, I missed most of the action today. (Except for the last 47km or so.)So... quick recap of today:
