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

Awful coverage, so amateurish

Impossible to get right with so many twists and turns in the finale and different riders to focus on. I was never really doubting what was happening and have seen much worse before.

But what a fantastic victory for Cort. Second time he beats Primoz into second.

Fun stage! Scary with the wind at times and the bunched peloton. No giant crashes, thank goodness. Chapeau, Magnus.

Tbh Cort deserved to lose for that mustache alone

 

[groogster]

Almost a sense of Paris/Nice Deja vu!!

I dunno. There was a point where it looked like Ineos, Roglic, Bayer and one Movistar were away and then when it came back after all the Heli shots, half the favourites were back in that group. In guessing once Narvaez blew up, Ineos started looking at people but would have liked to actually see that.

Worse than Quinn Simmons' beard?

 

[RedheadDane]

So... only one day in red for the youngster. Though, Roglic is also a youngster.

Carthy finishes 2'50 down. Even his teammates left him. That's a big blow for him

Really? Well, it wasnt good, thats for sure.

 

[perico]

Mas and Vlasov finish within 4 seconds of Primoz.
Bernal and Bala at :08 seconds
Lopez at :09 sec
Most of the other favorites around :27 seconds

Nice finale. Didn't think Cort would hang on, impressive effort.

Roglic could have probably gone a little earlier but managed to gain time on everyone anyway.

Bagioli is improving. Might be a contender for FW next year.

Mas looking strong

Good grief! Movistar in 2nd, 3rd and 4th in GC

Taking the Team classification seriously this year then.

 

[Red Rick]

In all honestly, this murito is much different from many others because it's so damn technical. That's the main reason they were drilling it for so long.

I think Roglic was positioned poorly all throughout the final 20km, but he was wise to not kick until all the way to the line.

Lot of effort from Ineos just to lose time with all your dudes again.

 

[SafeBet]

Carthy 2'50" down. Must be ill.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What the *** has Adam Blythe come as.

He looks like he's presenting a Bonny Baby contest at the local Haven Holidays

 

[Fantastico]

Mas looking strong

Definitely. He even seems to have more punch in these kind of finishes than Valverde right now.

 

[Netserk]

Magnus "El Caudillo" Cort shows how it's done, smashing a massive gear and riding his companions out of his wheel.

 

[perico]

Mas looks like he has found his legs. I might even say he looks like the best of the rest so far (it’s still early obviously).

I've seen weirder...

Caruso losing 5 minutes, but I think it's all for Landa for Bahrain anyway.

In guessing once Narvaez blew up, Ineos started looking at people but would have liked to actually see that.

Those heli shots were so zoomed out it was impossible to tell what was happening in the GC group.

Maybe they can think about some fixed cameras in the final km or just stay with the motos.

 

[titan31]

Watching it back, it's amazing how they didn't catch Cort. From about 1.5k to 1k, he's like about 5 seconds in front and then they all just looked at each other and he rode away enough to hang on. Any bit of a dig earlier and he gets caught.
