Meintjes looking really, really good.

 

[Riek s]

Doesn't seem to come closer to meintjes anymore.

Remco checking out the scenery while everyone else is suffering...

 

[Red Rick]

Meintjes 2nd best climbing time?

 

[hill]

How the hell is Meintjes maintaining 1:50 gap while Remco has dropped literally all of the GC contendors.

 

[Tim Cahill]

First WT win

Well done to him for always keeping at it

 

[Escarabajo]

Who is this Meintjes guy? this is the first time that I see him ride.

Being light as a feather doesn’t hurt. Great ride though!

GC is dreadful and Meintjes is having a good season

 

[jsem94]

Meintjes absolutely killing it on the hormigón

 

[Devil's Elbow]

How the hell is Meintjes maintaining 1:50 gap while Remco has dropped literally all of the GC contendors.

Because the first GC competition includes a literal teenager. Field is really strong on paper but Evenepoel is the only big name who's at (or near) his best.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Massive congrats to Meintjes!

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice one, Meintjes.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gap did come down a bit in the end, GPS was off

 

[dutchdescent]

Vuelta over. Chapeau!

 

[Eclipse]

Ayuso demolished Mas lol

Steady ride for Roglic

 

[ontheroad]

That climb was a brute!

I’m converted onto the Remco hype train, the man is a beast!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow Roglic fought back a bit there

 

[red_flanders]

That looked like Remco went really deep.

 

[Riek s]

I timed it to 15:12. but could be off a bit.

Remco seemed to be empty at the end and lost some terrain. but still... everyone over 1 minute behind evenepoel in GC.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Must feel bad for Remco, being the best climber 3 days in a row, and not a stage to show for it. I mean, he will win the ITT, but still...

 

[Didinho]

Ayuso really strong at the end.
And to say he couldn't drop me on the Smeysberg (Flanders WC recon)

 

[houtdffan]

The death egg was unleashed.

Robo Remco Robotnik has this race in a death grip now

 

[Poursuivant]

That looked like Remco went really deep.

Think he lost a bit of time last k or 2.

Gonna be a bloodbath on Tuesday though, race will be over

Vine begs to differ
