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

[Riek s]

This is a complete shitshow tbh.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Keep in mind the weather is expected to be even worse tomorrow.

 

[Volderke]

Darkness has fallen over Metropolis.

ps: in any other (normal Spanish) weather, it wouldn't be as dark. So the late start was considering 99% of Spanish weather in August.

There's a heat wave. It would make sense if there was no rain.

Ok, thanks. It's a beautiful city. It would be nice to see the riders and the sights.

Been neutralised for sure based on these times, and probably only part way through so some teams have taken risks and crashed for nothing. Absolute shambles.

I doubt it, I think the GC teams are just wisely not risking it too much.

 

[roundabout]

Jumbo don't look too upset at the finish

 

[Netserk]

I'm getting 2010 vibes.

 

[Winnen]

A friend of mine mentioned a bike change for JV, does that explain their intermediate?

 

[Tim Cahill]

The aesthetic of the race is brilliant, like a need for speed street circuit

Shame it's absurdly dangerous

 

[Riek s]

we have absolutely no images of Movistar and QS...

Movistar 1st? or *** timing.

 

[Didinho]

Movistar fastest T1!

 

[Samamba]

Movistar 1st I hate Spain from now on

 

[RedheadDane]

DSM only getting their dry clothes now.
Soigneurs: "Yeah, no need. They'll be coming down to the bus soon."

 

[roundabout]

And Movis go fastest

 

[Bonimenier]

Looks like Mas will win this Vuelta

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Happy Jumbo smiles. They survived.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Is there a total eclipse going on?

 

[DNP-Old]

Movistar is on the aqua jet?

 

[HelloDolly]

Movistar are going for it

 

[Volderke]

Movistar excellent time but only 5 guys left. Risky business.

 

[Didinho]

First time I don’t mind not having a camera with a favorite. I’m scared for Remco here.

 

[RobertCrawley]

We loved taking the tour through the Sagrada Familia, and then checking out the catwalk.

 

[nightowl]

Movistar flying!?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Movistar are ****ing flying, Lazkano the nightmare conditions specialist putting in work

 

[perico]

It’s A MAS-TERPIECE at the first check
