Breakaway riders will be rubbing their hands with glee - There is no reason for Jumbo to contest the remaining stages.

Jonas checked the label on the bottle after taking a drink!

Jonas checked the label on the bottle!

Did it read: Show the world who‘s the strongest!

 

[dobrien]

I don't think so. I also think the team knows whose form is where. I think kuss could easily have held Jonas wheel if he wanted to, and roglic.

My point was that if Jonas COULD have taken the time, he would have. He is not going to be gifting Sepp anything, which is what I was responding to.

 

[Rackham]

Evenepoel will dedicate today’s defeat to his mother.

I hope someone tells him when he's crossed the finish (in whatever position). I wouldn't want him riding around the Pyrenean cols at night. There are bears.

Looks like we need to rename the Remco thread 'Remco is the next Chris Froome'

 

[RobertCrawley]

Remco lost 27 minutes today.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Remco made the time cut by 10 minutes, woohoo!

Vingegaard keeps saying that the stage win was for his daughter.
I'm sure she'd have preferred if he'd taken the jersey, so she could get one of those nice bull-plushies, to add to all her lion plushies.

Was in Dutch.

He was mainly happy to be there with the guys, who he was watching from home a couple years ago. That he loves those stages with a lot of climbing. He felt/knew he couldn't follow the more explosive attacks, because he isn't good at that.

 

[Reynard]

oh please. the 3 strongest riders are all on Jumbo. Like it matters what anybody else does.
All these other guys will just play musical chairs with positions 4-10

I think a strong domestique could have brought Vingegaard back. of course Kuss or Roglic would have won the stage, but there could be hope for someone other then a bee for the podium

I think he tried. Seemed a little disappointed to end up third in GC. If he attacks to win it will look bad.

Didn't he had a bad training week for personal/family reasons? Thought I read that somewhere. Hopefully nothing with the daughter, because he was emotional.

 

[Tim Cahill]

53 riders to finish with 3 minutes remaining, whats the % that need to OTL for it not to count?

Edit: 36 left... some are getting OTLed

It would indeed be a very bad look.

 

[Nick2413]

Any interviews from Remco yet?

 

[theyoungest]

I don't think so. I also think the team knows whose form is where. I think kuss could easily have held Jonas wheel if he wanted to, and roglic.

No he couldn't have. Vingegaard dropped Mas, whereas Kuss could not (initially).

Kuss can win the Vuelta, but Vingegaard was stronger today.

The only domestique who could have brought Jonas back today is Sepp; to bring someone back you have to be there in the first place.

Why so? It's the only fun we have left.

Well, that and Geraint Thomas watch. He's been gamely trying to soften the blow of the joke that is the business end of this race.

 

[Salvarani]

Jonas said today is the birthday of his daughter. He went deep deep for the victory.

Love always wins! <3

Anybody at the Vuelta. Guillén is an absolute pushover when it comes to enforcing time limits.

Unless you actually got hurt and rode the whole stage on your own. Then he's draconian.
