Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 1: Barcelona - Barcelona (14.8k / TTT)

[Riek s]

De plus down ;(

 

[Netserk]

De Plus? down.

 

[Samamba]

Ineos disaster already

De Plus looks injured too

 

[HelloDolly]

Ineos held up

Hope Roglic is watching this and takes his time

 

[nightowl]

I’m getting increasingly worried about a Remco on this course 😬

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ineos guy went down hard!

 

[Bonimenier]

Absolute sh!tfest this

 

[Samu Cuenca]

INEOS not as smooth as the human cyclopede Blythe showed us earlier.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vuelta over it looks like for De Plus

Blood on the hands of the organisers

He's on the bike again.

 

[Volderke]

If Jumbo go for it, this Vuelta could be over today.

I don't know if Jumbo likes a wet circuit.

(Vuelta 2019 TTT - 4 jumbo down on a wet patch due to a leaking swimming pool)

 

[HelloDolly]

Sh** Dunbar has lost time too

 

[Samamba]

Dunbar himself down, but I don't know what he was thinking going that fast.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I need the heavens to go open, not enough rain!!!

DSM doesn't stand a chance like this

What price did you get?

Never a bad idea betting on some early starting outsider with weather like this

 

[roundabout]

was that Dunbar down?

 

[Netserk]

Dunbar this time. Several times the first rider takes the corner with too much speed.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

With any luck, this is the day where Unipublic fall out of love with the TTT.

 

[Ricco']

Would a road bike be more efficient today than a TT setup?

 

[Volderke]

That last curve has 10-15cm of water. Really not rideable at speed.

 

[glassmoon]

Dumb from Dunbar

 

[Riek s]

Pity that this TTT is turning out like this. Such a great discpline... but not in the rain on such a short parcour (made to not have big time gaps)

 

[Bonimenier]

Dumb from Dunbar

Dumbar

 

[Netserk]

Dumb from Dunbar

Especially as he won't help the 5th rider by going so fast. There's no upside for the first rider to carry so much speed there.

 

[Samamba]

It's pouring... raining harder and harder.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Visibility looks absolutely fantastic right now...
