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

[ontheroad]

TV pictures have been terrible. Remco has been invisible all day then all of a sudden we are told the gap is 5:30.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surely that 50s gap to Almeida is wrong, he's ridden mostly alone

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Which they could just change if they wanted to.

But that wouldn't have been Evenepoel's call to make. So like I said, he didn't have a choice.

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.

Be careful. ManicJack liked your message, indicating he can't detect sarcasm.

Almeida is not a GT rider? He never finished worst then 7th in GC.

 

[red_flanders]

This sucks. Just going to be a total bore from here out, a la Postal or Sky. What a freaking shame.

You must have defended Rogla against rumours of his demise last year as well, no? Because obviously his true level wouldn't have him drop by Evenepoel.

PCS have him at around 2 minutes. He was riding with Novak for a while but we saw Novak was with Remco now, so guess Almeida been on his own for a while.

 

[Samamba]

How is this TV director not fired yet

the big difference with Sky at least, was that the competition wasn't sick

 

[Mayomaniac]

I really should have bet money on Remco not finishing this gt...

 

[CyclistAbi]

Making conclusions about Remco based on today's stage is in my opinion pointless.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Why are so many motors with groups that were dropped ages ago?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I can confidently say I’ve never claimed Roglic is incapable of climbing with the best or said something like indicating Roglic is not a rider that can win a GT.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

QS death march. Sad to see Remco dropped like this.

He's irrelevant in this race now, so why show the lad struggling.

Sadly this is true. No need to see anything now

 

[CyclistAbi]

Five JV riders at front. And three resting for tomorrow.

 

[carolina]

They're trying really hard to not show Almeida.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Team Soler on the move with Vingegaard?

 

[Oliver]

Evenepoel... In big mountain stages still didn't show that much, but dropped on the first climb is being sick.

 

[SafeBet]

Boni seconds for Roglic and Ayuso on top of Spandelles according to French TV.

 

[HelloDolly]

Only hope is now if Vingegaard goes for it and then that pisses Roglic off
Maybe a 1/2 in team fight

Gesink giving Vinge a talking to ??

Laughable that they didn't show it.

 

[iBanesto]

They're trying really hard to not show Almeida.

Does anyone ever try to show Almeida?

The answer is no.
