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

If it's just Tiberi with him then this is the most pointless Caruso descent attack since the last time he attacked on the descent (that rainy Giro stage)

 

[Lo squalo di messina]

He s not sick stop that nonsense. Lefevere just saus he was perfectly fine this morning.
He s not a gt rider as i always suspected and no vuelta 22 doesnt mean anything.

 

[Ripper]

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

Don't forget the Tourmelet is overhyped

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bad. You need ability not to get sick. One could say is related with stress, overtraining or related performance issues.

That would be a reflection on his constitution not his stamina though. I do agree that getting sick often is not a good trait for a GT rider, yet this might still just be bad luck, it's not like there is a huge sample size or am I overlooking things?

Why would they reveal that he is sick before a stage?

Bahrein-Brainless?

Ah I didn’t know Vuelta last year wasn’t a GT!

Remco gap coming down?

Could be but there are two more hills.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Who knows if Remco is sick? Nobody probably in here, thats for sure.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vingegaard and Kuss pulling could be quite funny, with Rogla stuck behind

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

That's why I think he probably caught a bug.

Yeah, there clearly is something more going on than just having a bad day, this early in a stage. He has to be sick, and I hope he doesn't step off the bike during the stage.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Would be nice to know the gap from front four to peloton.

 

[Reynard]

The stupidity of Bahrain unmatched...sometimes it's weird how there's just no perspective when the heat is on. What do they expect? Landa would be dropped alone between spandelles and Tourmalet... looses 10 minutes in the end.

 

[Netserk]

Nearly 30" gap.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Is Almeida back in peloton? Seems like UAE is now pacing P.

 

[Skalman]

The Forum has concluded that Remco is sick so then it is of course a fact

 

[HelloDolly]

Can all the trolls who are claiming this proves that Evenepoel isn't a real climber/GC rider when he's very obviously sick please retreat to their caves? Thanks in advance.

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).

I dont think he is a top GC climber ...Mas beat him on the climbs last year .....heaven forbid I have this view

My issue is Evenepol is too wound up..all the time

...To be a GT champion you need to be calm and not waste energy...I dont know if he is ill ...his team dont think so

But I do know of riders who lose power due to emotional exhaustion

 

[Samamba]

UAE going hard

 

[Rollthedice]

Sepp is hearing voices "It's me Horner, the last great American rider. I did it at 42 going on 43! You can do it! Go for it!"

"It must be Poels"

Staghøj you imbecile. Clueless.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

He either has some physiological issue, like illness OR he isn't really talented enough to win a 3 week GT...I am going with the first, as the second can only be advocated if you have no idea of what you're talking about.

Landa not invisible!
