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

[Netserk]

Jumbo could easily reel him in again after the climb.

 

[Red Rick]

Bernal rain storm merchant.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

This feels a bit like that Carapaz attack with Pog on his wheel in the Tour...

 

[SafeBet]

At least we know Bernal is a no bullsh*t guy. Said he would attacked from far. Attacked from far.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lopez has gone ahead and tried to follow the attack

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

You kinda have to ask: What are both doing? Roglic doesn't have to follow him and there is a 30km false flat valley waiting for Bernal. Even decimated teams like Bahrain should reel them in there.

 

[tobydawq]

Zwiehoff in the Mas group. Huh?

 

[burning]

Well, I am not sure whether it makes sense for Roglic to follow, but we have finally good racing

 

[Samamba]

Good for Bernal that Roglic is with him for now. They would just reel him in on the flat part otherwise

Gap is growing really fast thb.

Very small group behind them though and still four kilometres to climb...

 

[dgodave]

I dont understand. Those 2 wont survive the long valley, right?

 

[Fantastico]

Lopez has gone ahead and tried to follow the attack

But he is not really getting closer

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

His dating app slogan is as follows:

"You want status? I have king in my name."

Ei have king in my name*

Eiking of wishful thinking.

Yeah, I don't know if Roglic's approach is the best...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Movistar outdoing all the good stuff they did for two weeks. What is the point of Lopez dangling in no mans land between Bahrain pacing and Bernal/Roglic?

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's a bit of a suicide move, and I'm not sure what Roglic is doing either, but fair play not being interested in 6th.

 

[johnymax]

This is so good. Told you there's a phenomenal set of stages ahead of us

 

[Samamba]

Bernal needs to take Roglic with him on the descent or he's done on the flat

 

[Cassirer]

Bernal is amazing, no looking around, no elbow flockig, just grind

 

[Red Rick]

Bernal needs to take Roglic with him on the descent or he's done on the flat

I don't know if Roglic will work with him. I have no idea if it's a good idea tbh.

 

[Lequack]

Where was Bernal hiding all this time? Is he bothered by the heat like Pogacar?

 

[Gargamel35]

If Roglič doesn't crash on the descent, peloton will catch both of them easily until the last climb. Then fresh Mas attacks and tired Roglič can't follow...I don't understand this Jumbo tactic here.
