Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 20 (Sanxenxo - Castro de Herville, 202.2 km)

SBS Australia reckon that Ineos are looking around for help from other teams.

This post covid world is a strange one.

Can Bizkarra finally do it?

Hopefully!! I have him at 100/1!!!!

UPDATE: He obviously didn't do it, but what thrills he gave me in the finale. I felt my bet was worth it just to feel like I had some skin in the game w/ Bizkarra. What a heart-of-a-lion guy!!

Ineos gonna drill it with Sivakov on the next descent

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looking forward to seeing Pidcock set a big pace for an inevitable Pogacar attack in next years tour.

Gap coming down fast

I'd assume given Ineos' three remaining domestiques that they simply didn't have much choice in the matter. Sivakov would probably get prevented from getting up there, Puccio is not suited to this and Pidcock is in his first GT. Likewise Movistar only have Erviti, Oliveira and Rojas, so they're probably best served just keeping them riding for Mas and López until they can't anymore and trust the two to their own devices. Verona and van Baarle leaving the race a couple of days ago really put the kibosh on too much inventiveness for either team at this stage.

But I was thinking that Pidcock has been looking really good the last week. Which he confirms now. They might even catch most of the break.

This looks interesting. Thank god for Ineos this race, it would have been downright dreadful without them.

Hopefully Roglic is open to another adventure.

 

[JosefK]

Looks like a day for Bernal, maybe.

Now, this is a post I would not have expected seeing in a GT-related context just two or three years ago!

Yeah I know, its weird, but thats the case this year with Landa being Landa, Movistar riders crashing out left and right etc..

Jumbo being the new Sky/Ineos...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mark Padun attack!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I can imagine Jens Voigt having a lot of fun on that trampoline. "Shut up, Stephanie. I bought it for the kids!"

 

[ice&fire]

Mark Padun attack!

Padun is chasing the front group

 

[yaco]

You wonder if Ineos will run out of riders - I still feel the stage will go to the break.

 

[ice&fire]

Padun gets to the front. The festival is about to start.

 

[burning]

I guess Bernal is going to attack on this climb, can't see Sivakov pulling this hard for the entirety of this climb.

 

[ice&fire]

Storer doesn't like Bardet ahead of him in the cat 1 KOM

 

[Red Rick]

Padun vs Storer the battle we've all been waiting for.

 

[roundabout]

Allright. They dropped Kuss

 

[ice&fire]

Kuss at the back of the group. Yates goes

 

[burning]

Yates is probably too strong for Bernal
