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…
Yea, he seems pretty strong and liked he had some gasoline left in the tank, - a shame as it is the second half of grand tours, he tends to accelerate.
at the end - most of us, couldn't care less which team or who wins and who is on the podium, as it doesn't mean jack..we just want some bang for the buck, hence the time we invest watching it while trying to decipher who is in fact the strongest rider and getting some see-worthy cycling amongst the main GC contenders.
Two captains Roglic and Vingegaard also admits they are pretty locked down' hence team-ethics, and the 3min breakaway on stage6 that flipped things 180* hence the Vuelta2023 planning, so it's up to other teams/riders to rattle the cage, otherwise, we will see more big GC stages like today..with a gifted breakaway by Jumbo Visma to undermine the incentive and parading to the finish line and not going deep' risk cracking.. that scenario would be a shame for the final in 2023's Vuelta.
Also, not a lot of forum traffic on such a big mountain stage with 21 pages, even though it is Saturday, Friday's Tourmalet stage was a tad under 50 pages.. let's hope Ayuso can go berserk on some of the later stages, and rattle up this Jumbo Visma 2-1-3 Christmas tree...
