Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 14: Sauveterre-de-Béarn - Larra-Belagua, 156.2k

[Didinho]

Van Eetvelt 3th in the stage at 6min+.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Storer completely cracked

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Did any commentator ever overhype such a victory (who is not a compatriot) so grotesquely?

Patrick Winterton, literally every race Jessie Diggins enters whether she wins it or not.

 

[Lequack]

Skeletor itching to put time into Roglic hahaha.

It's actually a strange situation for Vinge and Roglic, both believing they can win this, but having to ride easier than planned. They might have enough left to go for Il Lombardia hopefully.

 

[iBanesto]

Well that was boring for GC.

 

[Netserk]

Breakaway and no GC action. UAE made it seem like something would happen at one point, but nope.

 

[Ulle97]

How many more stages can he win?

He won't be a GC threat any time soon, so should have freedom for two more at least?

The peloton might not be so liberal with his next breakaway attempt if he tries on the Angliru or Linares stage.

I feel he has a great chance on stage 20. If he gets in the break on that stage he will smoke everyone.

 

[postmanhat]

Storer has hadn't much luck this Vuelta. Finally released from domming for Martinez, he comes up against an emotional Evenepoel. He could still salvage something, but it could have been a lot better for him.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

“Roglic is stoked!”

 

[ManicJack]

Patrick Winterton, literally every race Jessie Diggins enters whether she wins it or not.

Do you hate every American athlete?

 

[Tim Cahill]

One of the more comedic team displays by UAE today, in what is a stacked field

 

[Captain Awesome]

Well this is boring. Only one looking like he can do anything is Vingegaard and he won’t attack. This Vuelta is looking like a letdown…

 

[Winnen]

No other rider is capable of bringing the drama that Remco provides. Whatever you think of him he is box office.

Van der Poel is definitly also competing in this category.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Patrick Winterton, literally every race Jessie Diggins enters whether she wins it or not.

Never heard of either of them, but ok...

 

[Snake]

He is putting no additional time into the GC group who are soft pedaling.

it's more impressive that he lost nothing actually, we'll see his numbers lately

 

[JosefK]

Summation of stage 14: Remco? Remco Remco. Remco Remco Remco. Remco! REMCO! ... Remco Remco.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Well that was boring for GC.

Why bother riding if you're not Jumbo? I don't understand what on earth Bahrain or UAE were trying to do. At least Ayuso actually made an attack, it just was useless and they dropped all their helpers for nothing, but Bahrain just made sure that Jumbo could keep everybody fresh and then everybody sat around letting Attila Valter pace them up the climb and letting the break gain minute upon minute. Just flat out embarrassing.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Literally zero seconds GC change in the Top 10

 

[RobertCrawley]

Well done, Remco, in his interview. He didn't sleep well because of his disappointment, but he came back and won. That's the mark of a champion.

 

[HelloDolly]

well if Evenepol wants to get near the legendary status that Kirby gives hime he will have to win tomorrow's stage

 

[movingtarget]

Storer has hadn't much luck this Vuelta. Finally released from domming for Martinez, he comes up against an emotional Evenepoel. He could still salvage something, but it could have been a lot for him.

KOM chances look gone now.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Do you hate every American athlete?

No. I do, however, hate watching teleshopping, and Eurosport International's XC skiing broadcast is basically a targeted ad campaign for Diggins with them making every race solely about her and cheerleading her as though there are no other athletes on the snow, making excuses for any time she doesn't win and shouting "COME ON JESS!" like a bunch of adolescent fanboys.

Evelyn Stevens and Katie Hall, for example, were riders I was very fond of.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Well done, Remco, in his interview. He didn't sleep well because of his disappointment, but he came back and won. That's the mark of a champion.

Thank goodness he has no plans to challenge for the green jersey, he has all the other ones already.

 

[Sciatic]

One of the more comedic team displays by UAE today, in what is a stacked field

I do believe they would have ridden differently if Almeida wasn’t still in recuperation mode. Hope can be back to full power next week.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Great GC Action! De La Cruz gained 1 second on the favorites and also passed Cras in GC as the latter got dropped with half a minute. I love it when the big mountain stages delivers!
