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

[roundabout]

Making sure Eiking and Martin will drop out of GC?

I suppose that's the only way to move up on GC now, but it's a bit meh

Why is everyone freaking out about Landa? Thats like Cepeda or Henao being in the group - oh, wait. They are...

Because his teams have been holding him back for the last 6 years. Now he's finally free!

 

[JosefK]

Eiking suffering?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Was not expecting Eiking to drop this early... no top-10 for him then.

 

[Samamba]

Eiking is dead, this stage has been races incredibly hard

 

[Netserk]

5 Jumbo bees on the wheel of Bernal.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Eiking, surrounded by his entire team, drops

 

[Bolder]

Eiking, surrounded by his entire team, drops

That's Odd this early... But the pace is crazy so far

I really like the whole story of a noname wearing the leaders jersey so deep into a gt but just saying people, don't start thinking about him holding onto it (or even the podium for that matter). People always start dreaming when a case like this arises and people get disappointed every single time. Not to forget that this is a much more hopeless case than for example Alaphilippe in 2019 or even Voeckler in 2011.

I know dreaming feels great but don't do this to your sanity.

This already aged well.

When and why did Storer even lose time? He would have been the one to challenge Roglic...

 

[perico]

Why is everyone freaking out about Landa? Thats like Cepeda or Henao being in the group - oh, wait. They are...

Because he’s Landa and they are not.

That's Odd this early... But the pace is crazy so far

I think they're happy they've kept the red jersey throughout the weekend...

 

[JosefK]

Ineos very careful on the descent.

 

[roundabout]

oh boy, Sivakov leading the group downhill

 

[Netserk]

Ineos very careful on the descent.

It's Sivakov. I don't think he can go any faster (without crashing).

 

[SafeBet]

Did Trentin puncture again while being in the break?

 

[roundabout]

I think Eiking is back already

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The mixture of old and new asphalt might be nasty on the second descent if the rain continues...

 

[roundabout]

Rain!

 

[BlueRoads]

Bernal must be really bored behind Sivakov on a descent - or maybe not, maybe he really needs to watch out. Anyway, van Baarle in front of him would be more helpful now...

 

[JosefK]

I think Eiking is back already

He was just toying with the main GC guys. Ready now to drop the hammer!

 

[Netserk]

What now for Ineos? They don't want to catch Van Baarle before the top of the next ascent, so they might as well go slow and only hit the front again next time they climb.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Loving this stage so far. Chances for Landa to win the stage from that break? Gap is small now but the peloton has been reduced by a far bit already.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Look out for the blue shoes

Was a clause in Roglic' release from kidnapping that he had to wear Blue shoes on the Roads?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Loving this stage so far. Chances for Landa to win the stage from that break? Gap is small now but the peloton has been reduced by a far bit already.

If Sivakov keeps leading the peloton doen the descents they should increase...
