Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 14: Montoro - Sierra de la Pandera, 160.3k

[groogster]

idk a couple riders around 15th in GC, getting into a break and moving up to 7th and 8th doesn't sound much like chaos to me.

That's how chaos begins... Just the tip of the iceberg ... Riders all over the place, dwarfs, horses and good looking girls, it will be mayhem!! Ahh I also expect lots of beer!!

Those now mythical (first, second and third week) podium girls?

P.S. Do you have any spare rooms left in your mind? Wouldn't mind staying a night.

You could say the actual final climb is only 8.5 km. The GC action will probably be limited to that part. It's a prelude to tomorrow's queen stage.

The breakaway has a good chance. If this was a Hollywood film the stage would go to Valverde, Nibali or Pinot.

Nah, Hollywood still tends to make it relatively realistic (but still with someone hot, so Roglic would win).

Your stage story winner/s more has a Bollywood feel good fantasy about it.

My Bollywood prestage storylines:

Valverde needs to win a stage if he is to afford hair replacement surgery.
Nibali needs to win a stage if he is to afford VIP backstage ticket to see Roglic' trophy cabinet.
Pinot needs to win a stage if he is to afford to feed his family (of goats) through the next winter (after a tough drought).

All wonderful heart rendering storylines.

This can really be the decisive weekend, given the last week is easy by GT standards. If Remco doesn't show any weakness today or tomorrow it's almost game over for the rest (barring non-sporting reasons).

Crazy that Valverde won here 19 years ago.

 

[RedheadDane]

No... the crazy part is that he had hair!

No.

Yes, people who are losing hair never had hair to being with. That makes a lot of sense actually.

The two riders in the frame behind Valverde retired in 2009 and 2005 respectively.

Meanwhile Juan Ajuso was celebrating his 1st birthday

Shark sighting on the attack according to PCS live ticker

That's actually mad, remember when the Pandera first got used in the Vuelta and it was being dubbed as the Angliru of the south lol

People celebrate their birthdays over four days in Spain?

Some difference in the number of wins of the two riders on the attack:

1	NIBALI Vincenzo	54
2	VINE Jay	2

Well I’m assuming the Ayuso family might have different family gatherings, birthday parties in America are like that.

Pls go outside

 

[RedheadDane]

Pls go outside

I don't think it's gonna take me almost an hour to walk to my sister's place.

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.

 

[Samamba]

Ayuso in the 2nd group I guess as UAE is chasing hard?

Nah, peleton is social distancing

 

[noob]

So Soler and Ayuso are dropped? I wonder why

 

[Samamba]

How have they been at 10 - 15 seconds for half an hour straight.

 

[Nick2413]

The GCN broadcast is starting late today so can’t see the action with this split..

 

[noob]

Why is UAE chasing De Gendt?!

Or are they just trying to prevent other breaks maybe

Edit: PCS had the reason
