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

[Sciatic]

Why don’t they show the Remco group more—did a bunch of the camera motos crash out?

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard should lead them on the descent, dropping Mas.

Yes, the gps satellites came crashing from space into the motos. Crazy Vuelta

No reason to gloat.

you can switch between the cameras on the Spanish stream. The last moto is waiting for the Evenepoel group now. For a couple of minutes already

Remco "50% chance of winning La Vuelta" Evenepoel

 

[Volderke]

We have a group with every single rider in the top 15 of GC, except for Almeida (6) and Evenepoel (3) and some people here try to seriously argue that Remco is dropped beause he doesn't have it.

I don't know what to feel bad about today: Remco and Almeida ill or reading this forum (and I already ignored half of it).

It's the Vuelta, what do you expect? Quality coverage?!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

It would be awful if Remco and Almeida are sick but knowing Remco pulled out of Giro proactively when he was still performing well, it would be a bit of a surprise here, unless he really didn’t think he’d be affected until after the stage started.

It will surprise me if today is anywhere comparable to the Giro. In the Giro he deduced to leave after testing positive for Covid. I don’t think we have any reason to believe a scenario where he tested positive on Covid before this stage and still started.
And if that very unlikely scenario isn’t the case I don’t think there is any substance in what you are speculating about.

The excuses will be flowing out of the Soudal bus when we all know the boy just doesn't have the legs. He needs to stick to one days and week longs as I suggested on the last mountain stage.

I was looking at a picture of him vs Roglic/Ving after the TT. Compared to them he looks like a brick; I'd rather seen him try to go for Roubaix than engaged in a fruitless quest to compete with Jonas and Pog, etc.

 

[CyclistAbi]

OK Remco can't cope, still stage as a whole, well it's delivering.

 

[ManicJack]

PCS says Remco @ 1:53. That's not sick, that's bad legs.

 

[hfer07]

So,
now that Remco is out of the picture, can we say 1, 2, 3 for JV?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

There's movement!!!

PCS says Remco @ 1:53. That's not sick, that's bad legs.

Its been 1:53 for 15min now. So no clue if that's even correct. We'll know a proper time on the top

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Wasn't the protocol changed just before the Giro?

QS had their own protocol.

 

[Samamba]

Remco gave up, more than 5 minutes

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Evenepoel has stopped trying.

Remco and Almeida are simply not GT riders and they can’t climb with the best. They can’t even climb with Steff Cras. It’s simple. Everyone except the blind die hard fans knew this was coming.

 

[Rob5091]

As it stands if Jumbo can drop Soler, then the 1,2,3 is on!

I just saw him at 5:26?? That's Peacock in the USA.

 

[iBanesto]

Remco gave up, more than 5 minutes

5.34 mins behind.

well, now we know the time..

 

[CyclistAbi]

Imagine RhD when realizing what was missed and LS when realizing Kuss is the dawg.

P.S. BR kidnapping Remco.

 

[Netserk]

QS had their own protocol.

Which they could just change if they wanted to.
