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

[Red Rick]

They've closed more than 30s in 5 minutes

They were chilling. Tbh the break shouldn't be nearly as tired as your regular all day breakaway.

They should lose over a minute in the final 2km though, and if the peloton gets super nervous cause echelons then maybe they'll bring them back.

 

[sir fly]

Hopefully the stage stays boring and Cort wins. The odds was 40x at the beginning of the break

Placed something on it?

 

[yaco]

Bike Exchange would have been better to persist in getting Stannard or Schultz in the break - I doubt they can win from the peleton.

yeah top 10 would be a good result for them...

 

[Samamba]

Well I don't think Matthews can win this, but I'm just happy Bike Exchange does, and that they have the balls to go all out.

 

[broppo]

does Matthews want to move to Jumbo?

 

[Aimar16]

he was x 21 before the race started, I highly doubt this is true

At which bookie? Here in Slovakia at the Fortuna was 40x on him when the break had only a 1 minute advantage.

Placed something on it?

Not much, 15 euros.

3 bookies, I had some money on him that is why I know. Anyway good price, but unfortunately Matthews thinks he will destroy the field!

 

[Red Rick]

Lame doesn't even begin to describe it.

I might have overreacted a bit.

They are bringing this break back really easily though.

Yeah, It doesn't look good. I should have cashed out when they had the advantage of 6:30min

I think if bikeexchange wouldn't have started to ride no other team would have, just unfortunate.

No, man... now you start betting left and right to pull the money out.
As if you don't know the way betting doom works...

 

[Samamba]

Was that Matthews?? No right?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Just tuned in with about 48km to go, looks like there have been some crashes...

 

[yaco]

It was Zeits - The Alpecin rider will be disqualified.

 

[Netserk]

Really reckless by the Alpecin rider.

 

[Samamba]

Break can still make it if there isn't a team that really wants to close the gap.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

There's a lot of road furniture right now, but the water looks lovely.

 

[Samamba]

Finally!

Carthy was far back earlier, he probably missed this move.

 

[RedheadDane]

Fun time!

 

[MrTea1976]

Stringed out

[wheresmybrakes]

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

 

[SafeBet]

Who's behind?

 

[roundabout]

I think everyone will make it back
