Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 17 (Unquera - Lagos de Covadonga, 185.8 km)

He took the eyeglasses off that one idiot's face and threw them away on the Zoncolan in 2014, but that's probably it. Maybe the 2011 Vuelta?

He didn't reel in Contador on Angliru. That was good.

Movistar slowly losing the chance to contest for the GC win and in danger of bringing Bernal in the fight for the podium...and doing nothing so far.

This is looking pretty good for Roglic but I still feel like he took an unnecessary risk by helping to blow this race up early.

 

[Volderke]

How does someone with rim brakes gain time on a descent vs a whole group on discs?
Marketing is letting me down again.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

I wonder where Bernal will end up on GC by the end of the stage. Martin is holding on and even Eiking hasn't lost a crazy amount of time considering how early he was struggling and that crash.

Tbf, if Mas and MAL lead the chase downhill the only ones they would be helping are Roglic and Bernal.

The more it rains, the more Roglic looks like Vingegaard Chris Harper

Primoz working.....

Egan has offered him a look at his trophy cabinet.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Just like I felt, epic attack by Bernal! Primoz made a good decision to follow him distancing Movistar guys. Can't wait to the finale.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Zwiehoff helping now?

 

[Black Betsy]

Wout Poels has never added anything of value to a Grand Tour

A bit funny how all the three proper GT stages of the year have been in the rain.

'Look Primoz, this is what you can win if you climb well on the last Saturday'

 

[Sciatic]

Stunning valley; stunning race!

 

[ontheroad]

Even if Mas manages to reduce the gap at the final climb, he will not be able to gain any time today.

Very true. Movistar have done nothing to try and limit or reduce the gap thus far except for a futile attack by Lopez. This is where the waters become muddied in having joint leaders, they are simply leaning on Bahrain.

You called it within a minute. Kudos!

He already has two Vuelta wins, he's working on his legacy.

 

[SafeBet]

Vlasov apparently still in the race.

There are too many roadside sign posts for MAL to go full on in that descent

 

[Netserk]

Really, why don't they film the duo from the front when they film the 'peloton' from the front.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I just joined...

Wtf happened? Tell me!!

 

[Samamba]

Still 20k till the bottom of Lagos

To be fair, they also have not the density of domestiques as Jumbo, Bahran or Ineos. But still, they seem to lose a race again by waiting too long.

 

[BlueRoads]

There are few moments when I don't want to see Pinot, but now is one of them.

They should 100% make rules about it, consistent at all times!
