Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2022, stage 20: Moralzarzal - Puerto de Navacerrada, 181.0k

well that was predictedable.. If movistar keeps the pace high after teh climb, Remco will be isolated before they hit the second to last climb.

Somehow people getting stressed regarding Evenepoel today don't get the same reaction as daring to suggest that Evenepoel is unproven over 3 weeks in his own thread.

Probably because there doesn't have to be a relation. You can be stressed by many different things including excitement. He could also crash or his team might be too weak. It doesn't reflect on his GT ability.
Nobody ever had an issue when he was called unproven over 3 weeks, because that's factually correct. The problem was with people unfoundedly claiming/assuming he would not be able to go 3 weeks. Unproven means either way. That there is also no proof to support him not being able.

Rodriguez apparently already a minute down. Was hoping a complete collapse wouldn't happen given that he was solid the past two days, sadly no more.

 

[noob]

The peleton ain't a peleton anymore.

 

[noob]

Valverde attack!

 

[Salvarani]

Valverde!

 

[DNP-Old]

There's more QuickSteppers than Movistars in the peloton (excluding those in the break).

 

[roundabout]

2 QS with Evenepoel in the small group. Did not look like any team had a major numerical advantage there

 

[Riek s]

very very small peleton with 3 teammates for Remco? more than expected.

3 QuickStep, excluding Remco himself.

Oh, ok. I guess I missed the 3rd one

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Disappointing break once again, it seems.

I spoke too soon

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The domestiques are holding up their end of the bargain so far, now all Evenepoel needs to do is make it to the bottom of Cotos in the same group as Mas as I can't see the lead being overturned in a single climb.

Indeed excitement it is.
Hoping he doesn't have a bady day, a fall, a mechanical on a bad moment.
And stressed because it's the last one he need to survive for a big GT win, he's so close now.

Froome is dropped, G is in Canada and Porte in Britain. Total collapse by Team Sky.

 

[DNP-Old]

Another QuickStepper managed to return in the descent.

 

[roundabout]

Seems like there are 5 QS in the MR group now

Edit: 6 total

Lol

 

[roundabout]

I am guessing scene is set until Morcuera now

Edit: for the main group that is

Fun fact - this will be the first GT since the 2008 Tour where Nibali will finish ahead of Froome on GC!

2014 Tour was finished for Froome while he was behind Nibali on GC

 

[Samamba]

QS team has been surprisingly good this Vuelta imo
Interesting and dangerous situation with Valverde in the front group tho, but if Evenepoel is in Mas his wheel at the bottom of the last climb he's safe. I'd expect Mas to try on the penultimate climb.

 

[ice&fire]

Massive pee break in the peloton

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Guys, remember who won the last mountain stage at the 2015 Tour. The rest of the break can already give up.
