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

[Netserk]

Bardet marking Caruso. Either a big group gets away soon, or the break will likely form on Llomena.

 

[roundabout]

excellent coverage of the KOM sprint tree there

 

[ice&fire]

Polanc helping Majka crossing the KOM line ahead of everyone, while Majka is missing

 

[Netserk]

Still 30 km until Collada Llomena starts.

"Ellissonde abandons the race"

Yeah, I've heard that before.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

51.2km covered in the first hour. Still no break.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Big split here.

 

[Netserk]

Huge group with a gap now.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I feel like this could be a stage for the ages.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The race has detonated in the valley, can see a few sky, tjv, bahrain doms in there but they aren't clear on the composition

They'll get back but hopefully a sign of things to come

 

[Netserk]

Landa and De La Cruz (+7'11'') are in the front group.

 

[Netserk]

Bora have closed the gap.

 

[Netserk]

Stunning area.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Looks like Aru and Henao want to turn the clock back a few years.

 

[Netserk]

Kuss is in the break.

EDIT: Or maybe not. I'm unsure now.

 

[Breezy1985]

Is Bardet back with the rojo group ?

 

[johnymax]

Kuss is in the break.

Are you sure? Wasn't that Hofstede?

 

[Monte Serra]

Kuss is in the break.

EDIT: Or maybe not. I'm unsure now.

It's Hofstede for Jumbo

 

[Netserk]

My mistake, Hofstede indeed.

 

[titan31]

Eurosport/host broadcaster getting the audio all mixed up there.

 

[Netserk]

In fact, it's a super weak break considering how big it is.

 

[johnymax]

Grupo Kuss...lol. Everybody is seeing Kusses everywhere today.

 

[Gargamel35]

What's with Bernal constantly going to the car for stuff?

 

[JosefK]

Something is going to happen, maybe.

Sivakov lighting it up
