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

UAE pacing peloton

If Remco really wanted to get in the break, then he should have had at least one teammate with him.

He wanted to get in the break, he’s in the break. He’s already taken 4 minutes back, only another 23 to go. Anyone who can’t support this daring effort is a hater and a loser.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Kudos to UAE for trying something.

 

[Jagartrott]

OK, so DS Klaas Lodewyck stated before the start that Evenepoel should take it easy for several days and not waste energy. It's quite clear he has no authority whatsoever.

 

[Netserk]

After Soler rode up behind Olivera, Tratnik increased the tempo.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

OK I'm back to the race just for a short while.
Can't quite get Julius Johansen. Is he in need of trying to prove anything to his team? Why not just drop bak instantly saving energy required for remaining hard part?
OK have to leave again, must close eyes and ears and will watch last part undisturbed tonite.

He has teammates in the break.

Ayuso likely emptied himself on stage 13. So it would be rather naive to believe he can crack JV on this stage. Likely best to try again in week 3, when Almeida will be healthy. For Mas i don't know. He is rather experienced GT rider. Like Rogla he might have left something in the tank. Some team might try something on the descents. Not missing that could make sense. We'll see.

I think i can predict with a bit of certainty Movistar won’t be attacking anyone on a descent so it would have to be UAE.

Remco Evenepol and mattia cattaneo 2 warriors of our sport.

 

[Samamba]

Was Cattaneo the only who was able to make the jump. Pretty impressive ride.

I find it hard to call Cattaneo a warrior when the guy just relies on his powermeter and rides his wattages...

 

[Netserk]

What is the plan, UAE?

What is the plan, UAE?

Launch Soler probably

 

[Samamba]

Carthy dropped

 

[Salvarani]

Go UAE!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Carthy done

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Remcomeback. Jumbo are toast.

 

[houtdffan]

does UAE actually think they have a chance today? What in the world are they doing?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Huge Carthy in a little trouble.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hugh is just sangbagging, the kid is on a magic day, good tactics Hugh!

Yes, use the patented tactic of giving up, please

 

[Reynard]

Stupid UAE

 

[Peyroteo94]

Jumbo toying with UAE

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is that the cycling-stylings of big Joao Almeida I see struggling to hold on at the back
