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

[JosefK]

The pace right now is maybe not too hard, judging by the size of the peloton.

Just to make sure I understand this, if the rain gets too strong before the final climb and they have to cancel the race the riders still get half points because they rode two laps, right?

 

[Netserk]

So when Majka, Caruso, and Bardet goes for points, will anyone else follow?

 

[Lequack]

What a horrible weather, is this the Giro?

 

[Netserk]

Sivakov 2.0

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Think Ineos might have actually planned to set Van Baarle up as a satellite rider and have Bernal bridge to him on the second time of Collada Llomena but given that the break went to *** I can't see much happening before Covadonga. A 40km valley in between is just too big.

Great job by Sivakov. Also nice to see Pidcock up front!

 

[Netserk]

Check the comment above yours. Ineos wanted the break to be up ahead, so they had Van Baarle after the climb.

Jumbo have played it perfectly. No one for attackers to bridge to and 20+ km of gradual gradient before the final climb makes attacking early difficult. The descent will also be as much of an issue for his rivals as it will be for Roglic, only Bernal and perhaps Haig are capable of trying something there without risking doing a Superman at the Tour last year.

That photo of Eiking looks like it was on his application for "the bachelor".

 

[Krzysztof_O]

I feel that Bernal will soon perform a long rang attack! He mentioned it in a recent interview.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ineos are getting outmuscled by Jumbo for the umpteenth time these past 18 months.

 

[Fantastico]

Peloton shrinking fast

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Eiking is aching but still a king

And Eiking gets his red jersey back.

Cool Egan!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

[Netserk]

This is stupid. What are you doing Rogla???

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good man. A big move.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bernal trying to single-handedly save the race.
