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

[Netserk]

Judged by the distance to Craddock, the breakaway group is going slow.

 

[Billie]

Altitude is literally his kryptonite.

lol u ever checked his results on Sierra Nevada?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Valverde is not good at altitude when he is/was facing the top guns. In a breakaway, he would be a big favourite to win.

 

[Netserk]

So far Ag2r has taken 1'30'' on the breakaway group.

 

[Salvarani]

How many years since the last time?

Not even considering the altitude, I doubt that in 2022 it is a stage that suits him coming at the end of the second week.

15 years ago maybe

 

[Filippo_3467]

Ag2r really fighting for that 15th Place in the GC.

What the Craddock?

Craddock obviously has good legs BUT he is getting into the wrong breaks - He should never be in mountain breaks unless he is a support rider.

 

[noob]

That chopper shadow

 

[topcat]

Just tuned in. Not much going on apart from
NIBALI!

 

[Potomac]

[Valv.Piti]

AG2R defending 10th place.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Netserk]

So about 3'20'' at the bottom.

 

[noob]

McNulty to ride for Ayuso? Or for McNulty?

 

[Salvarani]

JV

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Excellently coordinated pacing by AG2R.

 

[Red Rick]

If domestiques for would-be aggressors get caught before Hazallans, it's terrible.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco isolated?

 

[Didinho]

Remco isolated already. Where's Masnada when you need him

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Of all the people to make this climb hard, Bob Jungels was not who I would have considered an hour ago.

 

[KZD]

Van Wilder is coming back, he is a bit like Almeida or Soler in the way he climbs

 

[Earns1985]

van Wilder is coming back..

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Usually it's hard to capture just how steep a climb is but I think the camera is doing a good job today.

 

[sir fly]

Doesn't look like either of the GC contenders feels particularly well.

 

[Salvarani]

Jungels not riding much faster, or any faster, than Peters did.
