Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 7 (Gandia - Balcón de Alicante, 152.0 km)

[Lequack]

Any contenders for the red jersey in the break? It seems Gotzon Martín is at 3:59.
Seems pretty strange that no one else is interested in a stage where they know Jumbo wont chase.

Please don´t tell me that this wil be the group of the day...

Suppose the breakaway's gonna be kept at a bridgeable distance.

What is happening? What am I looking at? My worst nightmare

150kms of soft pedaling.

 

[Blanco]

Probably Yates. Like I said, Carapaz going will just trigger a Movistar chase, and would render isolating Roglic a pointless exercise.

Movistar would chase Yates too, if Jumbo hasn't got the firepower...

 

[Netserk]

Where is the second camera moto?

 

[Lequack]

Peloton is going too fast for the break,

Behind the peloton ...

 

[perico]

I would love to see the Orange jerseys back in the world tour.

 

[ice&fire]

Movistar sends a rider up the road and Bahrain pulls from the bunch


All together now

 

[Lequack]

Commentarors aren't aware break has been caught.

 

[Netserk]

Kenny, the comeback kid!

Kirby clueless as always. This time with Kelly.

Naranja Valencia team!

Jumbo seems to be better than at stage 3.

I haven't really followed the first week so far because I've been on a holiday this past week (in Spain of all places) but looking at how things have gone so far I'm a little bit disappointed. Roglic doesn't look unbeatable yet but he seems to have no proper opposition. Landa and Bernal have looked way worse than I hoped, so did their respective teams and while Movistar has been looking decent I don't trust any of their leaders to bring the fight to Roglic. Hoping for stages like today's to cause some chaos cause otherwise I feel like the outcome of this Vuelta is pretty clear already.

I'm kinda hoping Roglic loses time today. Just for the sake of the race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jumbo poor, their best riders looking tired with the red jersey constantly isolated.

You know it's strange, since I heard Dave Brailsford banging on about this 'new exciting racing style' last year, I don't think I've seen his riders, bar maybe Carapaz, have a single long range crack, despite having about 4 leaders in every race they enter.

It's almost like he's just a complete corporate PR fraud who was given a blank cheque.

Would have been expecting Vanhoucke here rather than Kron

Other than saving himself as much as possible on Pícon Blanco, how hasn't Roglič looked unbeatable (if you think it was possible for him to look like that)?

Been in Spain and now watching Spain... Can at least we have a chance of an exciting race?

They look like they have 5 riders in that group. Two around Roglic and two towards the last third.

 

[ice&fire]

Looks like Sivakov in the break

 

[Lequack]

Seeems Adam Yates has inflitrated the break.
