It was like a Classics race - If DSM and BEX had collaborated earlier then they would have brought back the break.

Kirby must have been reading RedheadDane's post, since he claimed Krieger was a young(s) German :sweatsmile:

That was actually a positive post. There's no need for a sawtooth stage here, as stage 20 is that and for pacing purposes a transitional stage is fine here. But if the race has hosts willing to pay around this area, then a great stage is possible in the near future. Hence the "that can only be a good thing" bit.
Ah, sorry, I had misread your post.

I missed all the action today, tuned in at about 6km to go and saw the porn stache win it. Jakobsen is still in the green and the other Babyface is in polka dots, so all is well with the universe.

Would they?

Absolutely - BEX rode for 30kms alone, then DSM did the same, then BEX rode alone for 20kms - They only rode together for the last 15 kms - Demare was in the peleton, yet no FDJ rider helped - Again a strange situation !

It's definitely weird to say it about him, when he was beaten by Dainese, who's more than six years his junior.

It's all relative! For me, a 29-year-old is young, but of course a 23-year-old is younger!

And now Garate just classified Cort as a "killer"! :oops:

Who's the first Babyface?

On a belated signal just watched rhe last hour of today's stage.
Now that was a cracker by Craddock.
Cannot remeber when last time witnessing a breakaway with that kind of will with only 20 secs to the sprinter teams with 12k's to go.

I don't agree. They didn't get very close and they were all completely knackered. That breakaway group was insanely strong.

Poor Nieve. Crashed terribly then spent half his Vuelta chasing breakaways so Matthews could get stomped in any sprint possible.

Nieve is no certainty to be in the peleton in 2022 - Mixed messages about whether he planned to retire, but the bottom line is BEX have failed to offer him a contract.
