Richie, Good Show!!!!! I was never a Sky fan in any iteration, but Richie reminds me a bit of Chiappucci.

Carapaz was my favorite for a wild card influence on the race. Honestly, I thought he might be a GC influence but winning 3 stages and KOM is a nice GT. Congratulations to him!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Still a junior at heart

Big congrats to Remco Evenepoel for his first Grand Tour win!

 

[Oldermanish]

A masterful performance from Carapaz.
Signing out of the Grenadiers in style... while the other is signing in equally.

There just wasn't enough firepower after Wright crashed into Rogla to make fireworks of these closing doubles.

Why bring this b.s. into an obvious change of GC strategy. Remco won.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I dont think you can expect much more than this on such a stage tbh. I think it was quite decent.

Congrats Remco!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Arensman should be relegated for that swerving sprint to the line. Roglič might have taken a tumble somewhere!


Well done by Carapaz. Thee stage wins for him obviously says something about the route as well, but he still had to have the legs, the head and the luck to pull it off.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

At least Arensman wants to try to win.

 

[Riek s]

Remco looked very strong.. was hoping he would attack, but clearly just focussed on securing his first GT.

Goosebumps!!

Carapaz standing up again and again and agaon. Good he could have kept his lead...

 

[red_flanders]

Great win. Huge congrats to Remco and Belgium!

That was a nice exchange between him and Carlos Rodrigues with Carlos congratulating him and Remco asking how he he was feeling.

 

[Big Doopie]

kudos to carlos rodriguez who went to congratulate remco despite what must be terrible personal disappointment.

New alignment of GC riders in the world tour: 1st tier = Remco, Pog, Jonas. 2nd tier = Roglic. 3rd tier = Mas, Yates, Hindley, Lopez, G. Thomas, Ayuso, Carapaz, Almeida, Rodriguez, etc. ... Subject to change.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Velo D'or too I would think too with this and all the other stuff he's won

 

[noob]

The way Ayuso looks at Contador is almost teasing!

 

[Red Rick]

Velo D'or too I would think too with this and all the other stuff he's won

Would make a lot of Belgians really salty though.

Wait.

 

[kingjr]

Valverde quite appropriately winning the sprint of the 3rd or so group.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Now with Nibali gone from GT scene
where are the new Italian climbers?

What b.s.?
I have no idea what are you talking about.

Don't think Evenepoel is at Pogacar and Vingegaard's level. Yet. Would put him with Roglic for now.

 

[Big Doopie]

Velo D'or too I would think too with this and all the other stuff he's won

it's going to be close.

he could put it away if he betters pog and WvA at worlds, but that may be unlikely considering the vastly different prep. and if pog wins lombardy again... it's very close right now, but i feel like remco needs one more big victory to perhaps seal the deal.

a fantastic season no matter what for a 22 year old.

No way. Remco is nowhere near Pog and Jonas. He lost time in high mountains. 1minute to Roglic and Mas in different stages. If it was agains Pog or Jonas, or even Hindley of Giro, it would be 2/3minutes quite easily.
If he continues to develop he may enter that 1st tier, but not now.

I might have been trolling just a little. But it wouldn't surprise me either if Remco were to win the TDF next year.

 

[movingtarget]

Remco proves he can win grand tours. The future looks bright for some good battles with the younger grand tour winners and the other emerging young riders. The Giro riders warmed up in the latter half of the race.. Hindley looked like dropping down the classification but recovered fairly well and Carapaz killed it in the breaks for multiple stage wins. Three stage wins and the KOM is a good way for Carapaz to leave Ineos.

What b.s.?
I have no idea what are you talking about.

The Queen is dead. Long race this new King of the Vuelta...without any asterisks. He deserves that.
