Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 13: Ronda - Montilla, 168.4k

[tobydawq]

According to the stage overview, there were six flat stages in the Tour, and there are nine in the Vuelta (including TT's).

I don't know why the Vuelta so often has a rather weak selection of sprinters. But it was a good thing for Magnus Cort some years ago, as it helped him to victories and more self-confidence.

Uh okay, so where was I wrong?

There are definitely not nine flat stages in the Vuelta...

Edit: Okay, I did forget Wednesday's stage to Cabo de Gata, sorry. But I still don't think the difference is that big.

I'm quite sure she's bald.

But in that case she is neither Red-haired Dane nor Red haired-Dane.

The Kelderman among sprinters.

But in that case she is neither Red-haired Dane nor Red haired-Dane.

Since her name is RedheadDane that could mean she is bald but painted her head.

I have hair.

And her name is Bjarne.

And my name is not Bjarne.

 

[CyclistAbi]

What are you smoking?

Kool-Aid.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think RhD is nothing but hair. And it's her nephew who's called Bjarne.

Kool-Aid.

How do you smoke it?

Congratulations to Mads Pedersen for winning the stage.

I always wondered on how a proper race through olive roads would look like. Sprinters controlled the stage perfectly. JV and Roglič must be feeling OK. Now off to the weekend and to the party.

No, the red refers to the color of her skin.

 

[Netserk]

No, the red refers to the color of her skin.

Only during summer.

You have never not noticed a thread? In the 13 years of the forum's existence?

Jolly good. Is this forum just a mere teenager?
I remember following CN articles back from the Bill's Sports Page transformation days, I'd sworn the forum part was older.

The old website (which you can find at autobus.cyclingnews.com) was discontinued in June 2009 (which was a pity given how it was much, much more easy to navigate albeit less pretty than the current one) and was replaced by the current website which I am quite sure coincided with the inception of the forum.

You mean CN was Netserk-free for two years ?

Crazy statistic.

That’s interesting—I was lurking during races in 2010 and the forum participation was so robust that I assumed it had been functioning for years. It certainly must have grown quickly between March 09 and springs classics season in 2010.

Just watched this stage late. What a snore fest! Another one.
