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

[Devil's Elbow]

Look at the images of DSM versus Movistar and try to claim the darkness didn't decide this.

Why does Evenepoel insist on making it so difficult to like him.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

You mean he's complaining about the very thing this topic has been complaining about all day long?

Forum complaining is just as typical.

 

[glassmoon]

Remco already complaining?

and he's 100% right to do so

Bad conditions are part of the game. Tomorrow is another day.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Straight from Casper P:

They could not se the corners, they could not see the standing water and the cars blinded them because of the reflection in the water.

 

[Panda Claws]

Vuelta should just stop with this evening starts. Never understood the big draw of it anyway.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Why does Evenepoel insist on making it so difficult to like him.

His anger is entirely justified this time.

the difference between JV and Movistar/QS is already huge/ and they only differed 12minutes?

 

[Jagartrott]

Evenepoel not happy, but this time rightly so. They couldn't even film Movistar and QS because it was too dark. Ridiculous.

Vingegaard had a flat.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I never thought that I would be cheering on DSM but... I'm rich, 5000 euros extra thanks to the people who thought this TTT was a good idea lmao

Not only helped by the rain, but also the darkness. Movistar wins this if they start 10-20 minutes earlier.

Pedersen: "It was cool, in some crazy way."

Why does Evenepoel insist on making it so difficult to like him.

seriously? they rode practically in the dark...

 

[Tim Cahill]

I'd rather people show anger after the races, unfiltered, sport shouldn't be ridden by robots.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bad conditions are part of the game. Tomorrow is another day.

Darkness is fixed based on time. Entirely on the organisers.

 

[Netserk]

I hope Evenepoel will ask for the stage to be neutralised.

 

[Riek s]

Vingegaard had a flat.

I was talking about the images on the finish line.

 

[Bonimenier]

Why does Evenepoel insist on making it so difficult to like him.

Always easy to find a stick to beat a dog. He's 100% right here.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Bad conditions are part of the game. Tomorrow is another day.

Yes, but its literally DARKNESS. You cannot control the rain, but you definitely can control when it gets dark. My god this is amateurish

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Well, congrats to DSM, this has definitely been something!

(Would love to hear the conversations at the team dinner tables tonight.)

 

[roundabout]

G looks thin, so he is probably not going for the Vuelta of the pubs

Darkness is fixed based on time. Entirely on the organisers.

Darkness also depends on cloud cover.

True.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Was away for some minutes during race, didn't knew Vingegaard punctured.
Now moment shown with very split TJV team and last riders storming past makes sense.
