Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 16 (Laredo - Santa Cruz de Bezana, 180.0 km)

[Lequack]

If it it’s true that DSM and FDJ are riding at the front and controlling the break then they are really thick. Too thick for words. Maybe someone should tell them that Jacobson is the fastest sprinter in the field and it is quickstep’s job to control the stage

They want to bring the Quickstep train to the finish fresh as possible.

Roglič already lost his new shoe destroying half the peloton behind him, eh?

 

[CyclistAbi]

C'mon not at the begging of the third week. Just put the GC guys in the autobus. They can safely try out new apparel over there.

Break at 2 mins

 

[Lequack]

The modern sprint stages are just a carbon copy now with radios. Let the break get 2 minx max, bring them back, bunch sprint.

Ciccone and Vanmarcke DNF

 

[ice&fire]

Jakobsen doesn't like climb and lots of riders don't like the slow pace

 

[Samamba]

If Jakobsen wins this stage, other teams should be ashamed of themselves

Terrible luck for him this year.
Abandoned both the Vuelta and the Giro because of crashes.

 

[Samamba]

Vanhoucke weird move, he's not gonna make it.

EDIT: looks like he's making it after all, but still weird to send youre climber out on a somewhat flat stage. DS probably mad they weren't in the break.

FdJs best chances of winning a stage in this race is to ride for Démare today. Why should they be ashamed?

Very bad news.

Try to drop Jakobsen obviously, he can't climb at all.

They should be ashamed for their directeur sportif regardless of their results.

Chances are they'd just end up dropping Démare and Sinkeldam, too.

 

[dgodave]

I rate that monastery 3/10

 

[johnymax]

UAE at the front for Pogačar.

 

[Samamba]

Finally

 

[SafeBet]

UAE going for it.
Me like.

 

[Bonimenier]

Poor Vanhoucke is going get caught immediately after bridging to the front.

 

[johnymax]

Fantastic attack by UAE

 

[Samamba]

Jakobsen gone
