Ah! I Completly forgot about this part, I only remember how the stage was won and apparently didn't have a close enough look at the results...

Are you sure that was intentional in this case. Carapaz lost time but by bit in early going so It looks to me like he wasn’t feeling great the 1st week and now he is. When that happens he might as well make the best of it?Unpopular opinion but I dislike potential GC riders (e.g. Carapaz) dropping tons of time to then pubstomp 2nd tier climbers in the break.
I think the connection is glaringly obvious, so I wont really elaborate further than look at what happened on the next stageYes. But what is the connection to today?
If he's fat as pro cyclist then he must have a disorder............most of these guys without a shirt, look like they just got out of a Siberian prison.........let's just say he looks more like Cadel Evans than Andy Schleck..........Mate I don't like Remco either but these comment are a bit embarrassing, to call Remco fat is why we get cyclist with eating disorders and I don't like too much to enjoy others suffering
Mas only gained 20 seconds on Remco in the end!
I bet roglic wishes it was a normal vuelta with the decisive stages in 3rd week. I don't see anything in last week where RE loses proper time, so Rog has to smash him tomorrow.
So if you are a potential GC rider who falls out of contention, what are you supposed to do for the rest of the Vuelta? Booze it up like Andy Schleck?Unpopular opinion but I dislike potential GC riders (e.g. Carapaz) dropping tons of time to then pubstomp 2nd tier climbers in the break.

Stelvio Dennis,spotted almost as often as Bigfoot or the Yeti!Will Stelvio mode Dennis reappear tomorrow?
I agree. But for me this is a different story than a GC guy who sets out planning to lose 30’ minutes in stage 3. Carapaz is a champion and also is typically pretty strong late in GTs. However, if I were Ineos DS I would say to him “okay you’ve snagged 2 stages—for the rest of the race put that good form solely in the service of Carlos to get him on the podium.”I don't blame Carapaz for it. Even if it was intentional I can see why he would prefer this over a 5th place in the GC.
From a spectator point of view I don't enjoy it because (1) It makes it a lot harder for the GC riders to actually win mountain stages themselves and (2) Other riders in the break often can't contest them which makes the battle in the break more boring.
How dare anyone call Armstrong "the uniballer"?! Don't they know that his cancer nearly killed him?And is Bambi in relation to the crash that nearly killed him?

Meh still weak as piss insult to make.How dare anyone call Armstrong "the uniballer"?! Don't they know that his cancer nearly killed him?
I don't see that on his face. What is see is him not walking properly... but effect is the same ofcourse.unless he is out of gas...
Yes, no wonder it is called the "Tour of Spain"So if you are a potential GC rider who falls out of contention, what are you supposed to do for the rest of the Vuelta? Booze it up like Andy Schleck?
And the guy who finished fourth is doing the ultra-mythical Maryland .Pro race tomorrow. I haven‘t even seen a profile of that race.
If you want to know the origin, you can just search the term and discover it yourself. Choosing the interpretation that allows you to be offended is some weak piss.Meh still weak as piss insult to make.
A scumbag sociopath and a 22 year old kid are hardly the same thing.How dare anyone call Armstrong "the uniballer"?! Don't they know that his cancer nearly killed him?
