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

That's 4 GT started for Remco and only 1 finished and won.
I don't doubt his ability but the stamina and endurance to ride 3 week GT's seems to be a recurring issue (like with a lot of other good riders).

He clearly seems sick, as he was in this years Giro, that he had to abandon early on. How does that reflect on his stamina?

 

[Samamba]

Kuss and 2 bahraini's gone

Another Jumbo with the jump

Vingegaard jumping behind Kuss, Caruso and Landa

 

[Volderke]

Landa probably sees a chance to determine the pecking order next year in his new team

 

[Netserk]

30-40 men peloton and some people seems to think this is the real level of the reigning Vuelta champion

Of course this is not his best level. Just like Rogla wasn't at his best in the Vuelta last year or in the Giro this year after his crash.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

There's the mythical Caruso descent attack everyone spent all Giro waiting for.

 

[Bolder]

Remco gap coming down?

 

[KZD]

There's the mythical Caruso descent attack everyone spent all Giro waiting for.

Kuss and Vingegård following.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nobody expects the Spanish descent attack

 

[theyoungest]

Vingegaard really is an excellent descender.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE with a severe case of falling asleep at the wheel.

 

[SafeBet]

There's the mythical Caruso descent attack everyone spent all Giro waiting for.

With Landa, Kuss and Vingo?

Landa probably sees a chance to determine the pecking order next year in his new team

Landa was sick the first week of the race, and looked alright after. There's honestly no reason for him not to aim for the podium now, with all those guys suffering from whatever.

 

[Bolder]

Kuss and vingegaard are good descenders

 

[Escarabajo]

He clearly seems sick, as he was in this years Giro, that he had to abandon early on. How does that reflect on his stanima?

Bad. One could say that sickness could be related with stress, overtraining or related performance issues.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Still better than remco.
You should tell gouvenu, to do a tour france with 21 flat TTs with a total of 2500 km.

Still not Ganna happen.

 

[ice&fire]

Remco gap coming down?

Could be an effect of the moto being at the back of the front group

 

[iBanesto]

I hope he can hang in there, but his face looks like dnf is more likely

An American winner is probably great for Cervelo in the North American market.

 

[Reynard]

Caruso and Tiberi to Jumbo next year?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Of course this is not his best level. Just like Rogla wasn't at his best in the Vuelta last year or in the Giro this year after his crash.

Or an even better example: just like Rogla was in the Tour last year when he wasn’t among the top 20 climbers on Alpe d’Huez stage.
Roglic this year in Giro and last year in Vuelta was reduced, but just slightly reduces as he was still quite close to the best climbers and therefore not that far away from his best level as he was in the Tour last year after the crash. Remco being dropped by 40 guys on the first climb is definitively more comparable to Tour22-Roglic than to Vuelta22 or Giro23-Roglic.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Nobody expects the Spanish descent attack

Tip of the hat for the Python reference

 

[Samamba]

If it's Tiberi and Caruso what's the point for Bahrain?

 

[Volderke]

So Kuss is now gone for a long raid, with his bottle carrier Vingegaard in support!

 

[search]

If it's Tiberi and Caruso what's the point for Bahrain?

it's Landa, not Tiberi

 

[Netserk]

The Jumbo duo will take it easy on Spandelles and get back in the bunch.
