Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 13: Formigal - Col du Tourmalet, 134.7k

Remco has to be ill

yeah, I hate it when riders in good form gets sick. I still remember how crushed I was when Pinot got sick in the Giro in 2018 (right?).

I hope he can finish the stage, not drop out and win a stage. Hang in there Remco!

 

[KZD]

The Spanish riders are the only hope now. Ayuso, Mas and Soler.

Otherwise this will be incredibly boring until the end.

 

[johnymax]

It'll be Roglic vs Ayuso in the end hopefully, like I thought before the race started.

 

[Peyroteo94]

He's literally won this race

You are right. But he is so talented but it obvious he is way more a classics rider than a gt rider.

When the stages get tough Remco reveales his bluff

 

[Devil's Elbow]

When Kirby is sounding extremely pessimistic, you know it's bad.

 

[saunaking]

But looking at the impact now, must tell them it's time to get off the bike and not spread the illness to others around them?

agreed

 

[repre]

So, how many riders need to be left in the race before it gets cancelled? LOL

Remco dropped, they must neutralise the stage!

 

[Lequack]

First Pog, and now Remco. Why must we suffer!

 

[Rollthedice]

As ol' Timothy Leary said: Turn on (the TV), tune in (Vuelta podium sweep by Jumbo), drop out.

 

[Potomac]

There is still a lot of this race left and anything can happen

 

[Aimar16]

He's literally won this race

When Rog crashed out

Storer going for Mountain jersey..

But looking at the impact now, must tell them it's time to get off the bike and not spread the illness to others around them?

It's surely too late for that already.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Storer the Destroyer is back!

 

[Bolder]

The Spanish riders are the only hope now. Ayuso, Mas and Soler.

I think Ayuso or Mas has to try to take time from Kuss, at least. If not now, then never because Vingegaard could re-discover form on a soft-pedaled stage and be deadly tomorrow...

 

[Berniece]

This makes it a lot easier for Kuss, hope he can win it now

Just back from some duties. What has happened?

Just back from some duties. What has happened?

It's so over man

 

[theyoungest]

Jumbo aren't even doing anything extraterrestrial, so far. Just staying reasonably healthy has been enough. Although Roglic has crashed, and Vingegaard has been sick.

 

[Volderke]

Just tuned in, Evenepoel looks whiter than his shirt. Who put something in his drink?
He's finished for today, it seems (/it's clear), one can only wonder if he will abandon the race altogether.

This is the most frustrating scneario; I'd rather have Evenepoel die trying / being dropped because he's simply worse, than dropping out because of illness.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

You just hope Remco is not struggling on just for the cameras here if he is ill. There's loads more suffering to go for him.

 

[Savant12]

Can Ayuso beat all the Jumbos?
