Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 16: Sanlúcar de Barrameda - Tomares, 189.4k

Well, I just put up a candle for Roglic. It’s not fair such bold move being punished like that!

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Think Roglic clips the backwheel of Van Poppel.

Sounds like it was more of a case of colliding with Fred Wright

 

[Bonimenier]

Which is a little silly on an uphill finish. There were gaps between the GC riders five years ago here too so it's not like they couldn't have expected them.

The top 2 of GC needing the 3 km rule today warrants it though.

 

[Potomac]

Accordng to Inner Ring's vuelta guide...

3km rule
In the event of a crash or mechanical inside the final 3km a rider can be credited with the same time as the others they were with, except on Stages 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 20.

 

[noob]

I'm nearly getting a crush on Wright for his interviews though.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The top 2 of GC needing the 3 km rule today warrants it though.

Crashes and mechanicals can happen on MTFs too, though, so don't see how it warrants it.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

OMG, what was that? I just turned on the player for the last few km and then BAM! Primoz attacks, Remco has a puncture and... Primoz falls a few dozens of meters before the line! These 3 minutes were more exciting and dramatic than the whole Vuelta combined. What an unlucky guy Primoz is, this looked bad.

 

[StryderHells]

Evenepoel faking a mechanical after getting gapped.

It's too obvious it's not funny.

Sorry to come back to this but what an idiotic comment, it’s all good to not like a rider but to just make things up is pretty damn stupid.

 

[spalco]

***. ***. That's awful.

 

[houtdffan]

Rog got the same time as the leading group

Remco got his lollygagging time

According to the official site

that's where i saw and ask..

 

[JosefK]

I don't see how Primoz can continue after that crash. No way can he maintain his position on GC with the stages to come.

 

[SHAD0W93]

You could literally see the flat tire

Incoming doctored video of Evenepoel putting a nail in his tire.

Interesting. The way Evenepoel was going in, he seemed pretty certain that he would get same time.

 

[ontheroad]

Rog got the same time as the leading group

Remco got his lollygagging time

According to the official site

Evenepoel 1:36 down in 3rd place on time.

They probably just haven't adjusted yet. Evenepoel will be reinstated as leader shortly.

He will, this is stage 16

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Remco being classy in his post-race interview, he hopes Primoz is okay enough to continue the race.

 

[BR2]

Interesting. The way Evenepoel was going in, he seemed pretty certain that he would get same time.

He was super realxed, lol.

 

[hscoach2]

The question will be WHICH group was Evenepoel in. There were many different groups

 

[Hugo Koblet]

You could literally see the flat tire

Yeah, of course he wouldn't just pretend he had a flat tyre. He punctured it with a needle himself.

 

[Miha81]

La Vuelta has Rog leading, Remco in 3rd

They haven't applied 3km rule yet.

 

[Zoophonic]

You could literally see the flat tire

Could you? Eurosport pictures have just looked closely and you just can't tell.

 

[Faserr]

Do you always get the time of the second group? Why not first or third?

 

[saunaking]

You could literally see the flat tire

Actually no. This is fishy as hell

 

[Volderke]

Do you always get the time of the second group? Why not first or third?

Here is where the jury magic will happen
