Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2021: Stage 9 (Puerto Lumbreras - Alto de Velefique, 188.0 km)

[gregrowlerson]

Four different Aussies fighting for grand tour podiums in the past two seasons.

We're kind of like Slovenia, in our own way

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Giving Haig 2 minutes on Friday seems like a mistake on Ineos and Movistar's part in retrospect.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jack Haig, hopefully he goes Full Padun later in the race

The Australian Nairo

 

[glassmoon]

Heroic ride by Caruso. Chapeau!

 

[Salvarani]

Well deserved victory for Caruso

 

[roundabout]

Haha, in that case everyone would be laughing at Movistar for Lopez chasing his team-mate.

I think he did go to the front when Bernal let go the first time, but I guess having Mas ahead was the issue

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Caruso was fortunate that the GC group slowed down, but a 70 km solo effort on a mountain stage is still pretty impressive.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Caruso making it look so easy.

 

[perico]

At least Movistar are trying. Ineos attacks to drop their leader.

 

[Netserk]

Winning in style! Two of the best GT stage wins this year for Caruso.

 

[roundabout]

I think Roglic should be very happy with how the day went

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mas just got Valverde'd

 

[Salvarani]

Haig having a great race so far

 

[roundabout]

It was 15 seconds for Roglic/Mas over the chasers ate 3km to go and 40 seconds at the finish and 1 minute plus to Bernal

 

[perico]

Mas has arrived. Did everything he could do.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Caruso has arguably the best two GT stage wins of the season to his name, did not see that coming. Roglic isn't there yet given his questionable third weeks but looks comfortable so far. Happy to see Haig like this after his crash too.

 

[Eeslliw]

Where does everyone see Roglic weak?

The way he rides. He was on limit.

Why is Lopez chasing Mas with Yates and Haig on his wheel?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mas can really put Rogla under pressure in the third week on the two hard MTFs. This is still a super open race!

 

[roundabout]

Kuss and Kruijswijk around 10th from the favorites at the finish

 

[Scarponi]

Four different Aussies fighting for grand tour podiums in the past two seasons.

We're kind of like Slovenia, in our own way

It’s an explosion of riders up the front for us considering how little we’ve have had it

 

[Carols]

Chapeau Caruso, Great Ride!!!

Roglic looking imperious!

 

[Scarponi]

Does roglic go this far ahead on this stage if Mas didn’t draw him out?

 

[IndianCyclist]

Ineos out. Movi vs Roglic from now on

 

[postmanhat]

Bahrain lose their leader and still get three in the top ten on the stage, and possibly in the GC now?

Landa to become a super-dom

 

[roundabout]

Landa loses 4 minutes to Roglic
