Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 6 (Requena - Montaña de Cullera, 158.3 km)

[titan31]

Looks like it'll get back together but there was a good few caught out

 

[titan31]

Who's behind?

UAE anyway, Ellisonde, Carthy I'm sure, Vlasov, Yates I think

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Lots of tired legs in the chasing group(s).

And just bad rouleurs.

 

[RedheadDane]

Kenny exploded...

 

[Samamba]

Carthy not panicking. Just chillin in that 2nd group with 4 teammates.

 

[120mmStem]

Wow Ellisonde is really awful in the wind

 

[Leinster]

Ellisonde barely able to hold the wheels even in the chase groups.

 

[titan31]

Kenny exploded...

Ya, he didn't just hit the wall, the wall hit him.

 

[titan31]

All back together it looks like now.

 

[yaco]

If Yates wants to be taken seriously in GT's hanging off the back is not the way to do it.

Yates was at the front of the peleton just before the race split.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

is vlasov just stuck to luis leon's wheel or what?

 

[roundabout]

This was the first lap and they'll do the same section again, right?

 

[Netserk]

This was the first lap and they'll do the same section again, right?

Yes, shortly before the climb.

 

[motty89]

What are EF doing just hanging around at the back? They do know they're doing that section again right?!

 

[titan31]

With the climb, the people who were dropped already will struggle. Be surprised if most don't end up losing time if they had to make any effort to get back.

 

[SarahtheDane]

Does the breakaway have any chance?

You’re right—it’s happened already with Cathy. Wonder if he is sick or something?

 

[Eclipse]

Carthy must be ill this isn't normal

 

[roundabout]

Carthy is painful to watch. No way it's his normal form

 

[RedheadDane]

You’re right—it’s happened already with Cathy. Wonder if he is sick or something?

Danish commentators speculating the same.

 

[Sciatic]

Carthy must be ill this isn't normal

Yeah, he can’t even keep up with his teammates trying to draw him back. Bummer. He could lose 5 minutes on the climb

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's some fishy motor positioning...

 

[Samamba]

Yeah he's probably ill, GC over for him, if it isn't today, tomorrow.

 

[Leinster]

Does the breakaway have any chance?

They'll need 20-30s minimum at the bottom of the climb to make it.

Who are Quickstep riding for?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Who are Quickstep riding for?

Has to be Bagioli?
