Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 15: Martos - Sierra Nevada. Alto Hoya de la Mora. Monachil, 152.6k

[Bonimenier]

Remco will have his work cut out for him today.

That break is probably worst case scenario for him.

Why is that?

 

[Netserk]

Monachil starts with 51 km left of the stage.

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

He's moving to EF, Rodriguez is their future. Carapaz is pretty much doing his own race in my opinion .

Adopting that logic Arensman is moving to Ineos next year.

 

[Riek s]

Arensman very close to virtual podium. Wil Movistar start riding when the break reaches 8minutes?

 

[Stringer Bell]

Yeah, I would be shocked if Ineos chase, it benefits Rodriquez to have Carapaz as high up in GC as poss

 

[Ilmaestro99]

MAL seeing his certain stage win go up in smoke.

His name is Superman. But yes it's a shame.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Arensman very close to virtual podium. Wil Movistar start riding when the break reaches 8minutes?

Of course Movistar will.
I see Rohan destroying a Quickstep rider on a hard climb at high altitude and Masnada unwillingly having to work for the team leader in the leader's jersesy once again. That said, Masnada actually has a good relationship with Remco and respects him.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Two JV guys in the breakaway, they can be helpful to attacking Primoz on that less steep part of Sierra Nevada. Imagine what Dennis can do there if in form...his words today:

We’re going to throw everything at them, and hopefully we can crack him

Should be interesting

 

[Poursuivant]

Amazing break that. So much firepower

 

[noob]

Being an Almeida fan is sort of stressful right now with the giro awakeing

I am not sleeping on Hindley on high altitude for a second.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

from what i could understand from the Tosato pre-stage interview, which is not easy, they want to go hard in Monachil..

 

[TourOfSardinia]

What the Craddock?

 

[Netserk]

Ag2r chases!

The gap to the big group is 5'35''. O'Connor was just 2 seconds ahead of Arensman before the stage today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Dont understand why they didnt bury their team before, they are useless anyways, and O Connor just sacrificed a top-10. But finally something happening, so thats good.

 

[noob]

What's Porte plan after graduation?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at this glowing feature for Porte, you'd think he had died.

I like to think he took Luke Plapp into a back room this morning, grabbed him by the shoulders with a tear in his eye telling him 'you must be Richie now.'

 

[Netserk]

I think the better riders up ahead need between 4 and 5 minutes at the bottom of Monachil for them to survive to the top of Hazallanas with gas in the tank. Hmm, probably closer to 4 minutes than 5.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I cant believe Movistar didnt send Valverde in a move like this. Would be perfect for him to just sit in the group doing nothing.

 

[Salvarani]

Altitude is literally his kryptonite.

 

[Netserk]

The gap has already been reduced by ~30''.

 

[Red Rick]

Altitude is literally his kryptonite.

They don't reach high altitude until the final 10km, none of which is steep.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's a Bike Exchange move if ever I've seen one.

La fuga de la fuga!

 

[Potomac]

I'm hoping for some serious GC excitement again.

 

[Salvarani]

They don't reach high altitude until the final 10km, none of which is steep.

Sounds perfect for him...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice shots of Alhambra, at least it's surrounded by some green foliage.
