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

[FroomeWagon]

I want to see Jumbo go 1-2-3 on the podium in all three grand tours next year.!

 

[carolina]

Almeida 15th on the stage after being dropped so early. What a masterpiece!

 

[Skalman]

Roglic getting *** over.
He was the captain and strongest rider so far, yet they kepp him still 'till the last 500 meters

No worries, his day comes tomorrow

 

[Reynard]

Who did they buy? They developed the Dane and Slovenian lol

And? No other team could hold 6-7 world class riders in their team other then Jumbo and UAE... of course kudos for finding the talent and developing them, no question. But other teams are also developing/buying talent and can't hold it because of the money. Bora wanted to hold Kelderman e.g. but no chance. Today he came up big for Jumbo and brings them in a situation where they can dominate and don't have to sacrifice a leader. Really hope Cian stays at Bora and Remco at QS so that there are more teams involved in the mid-term in the GC.

I hope they’re not gifting this vuelta to Kuss…

 

[Izzyeviel]

Who will finish first? GC G or GC Remco?

 

[Red Rick]

Almeida and Evenepoel literally get dropped halfway the Aubisque , Ayuso cant drop Uitdebroecks

Some strong field ***

 

[Panda Claws]

What why? There are such great teams that overcame so much to come out on top. Jumbo just can buy anyone they like. You can maybe throw UAE in and say why won't they bring Pogi... but yeah that's it. If 8 or 9 of the top climbers ion the world are on two teams it will be boring very often,

The thing though is that Jumbo's core is so strong and broad that they can both dominate the Tour of Spain and the Tour of Britain at the same time. Such simultaneous dominance in Tours of different countries has seldom, if ever, been observed.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Almeida on 7 minutes. Will he be allowed in a break?

A bathroom break perhaps.

 

[ice&fire]

Vingegaard has emotions?

No way.

Powered by his daughter birthday

These are professional bike riders. Sepptimus will have to earn it.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Kuss has 100% earned the right to be in this position.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Vingegaard did it for his daughter and not for his team.

 

[HelloDolly]

I agree with Robbie McEwan ...Kuss was the strongest today

 

[TourOfSardinia]

GC

TJV x3 then 4 Spanish riders

 

[IndianCyclist]

If the main opposition falls apart, its game over for all the GTs.

 

[movingtarget]

Which Jumbo rider moves to Ineos ? Make him a deal he can't refuse.................

 

[dobrien]

Yes, bet he will phone home to his wife as usual and complain about kuss, vingo is out for blood. my fear is that kuss is to nice to get the GC, he will have to burn bridges here with his team chasing down vingo over the next days, this is his only gc chance to be honest

I was thinking the same thing; If Sepp wants to win this he's going to have to get mean. If indeed Jonas went as deep as it looked and Sepp is feeling good tomorrow, I hope he repays the 'favor'.

 

[RobertCrawley]

GC

1-2-3

 

[Reynard]

Almeida just destroyed his chances and that of the team. Why? he clearly wasn't going that bad if he comes into the finish before Martinez after riding about 100 k on his own. If he can't ride a mountain on a pace of a peleton with 50 guys because he has to do a few watts more then planned...then maybe domestiquing is the better job for you.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Vingegaard attacked his better placed teammates and only talked about his personal victory for his daughter until prompted by the interviewer…

At least he only put :30 and :33 into Kuss and Roglic instead of the 1-2 minutes it looked like for a bit. And it seemed like he pushed harder than Kuss and Roglic, but who knows.

 

[KyoGrey]

If they do this 1-2-3 tactics in Angliru, it is going to enter cringe territory.

Very interesting to see how are they going to manage egos and public image.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Time cut is only 37 minutes, they might extend it, though

[Eddy Evenepoel]

These are professional bike riders. Sepptimus will have to earn it.

Sepp earned it today. He dropped all non-Jumbos and has a 1 1/2 minute lead.
