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

[Libertine Seguros]

Penco Pevenepoel stat padding against a 46 year old Bardet and Michael Storer riding Pan y Agua.

Username checks out

As soon as they enter Spain Roglič will attack.

 

[noob]

Is Almeida suddenly in the UAE train?! It looked like him.

Edit no, it was Oliveira

 

[KOM]

Gap is coming down. Remco is unlikely to take the red jersey today. He wins the Kom, and some people here claim he can’t climb.

An hour ago I thought to myself if Remco ends up winning the KOM his delusional fanboys will convince themselves he is infact an amazing high mountain climber. You guys never seize to amaze me as it took him winning the KOM up 1 climb to claim that.

If you were trolling, well done, that claim is so ridiculous you basically have to be but I stopped assuming that when it comes to Evenepoel

 

[Potomac]

Gap is 4:20

 

[Tim Cahill]

The best thing about this ride from Evenepoel isn't the fighting spirit and respect for the race being shown, it's that it really spurs on us crackpot conspiracy theorists as to the reason behind his bad day yesterday.

KOM has spoken.

What would be even better is Remco miraculously coming back Pog style to win the stage.

He heard me!

 

[red_flanders]

Evenepoel wasn't supposed to attack period (Klaas Lodewyck pre-race interview). At least not today or tomorrow. The idea was to focus on his recovery first and then target stage wins next week.

Unless Lodewyck was BSing Remco is going against team orders.

Remco’s decisions are the team orders.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Hard pass on that walking bridge.

 

[dobrien]

Gap is 4:20

That's getting pretty high!

 

[saunaking]

no wonder Remco's been sick, drinks out of a water bottle from a random fan!

Well, He is still around somewhere in the group, better than yesterday.

 

[Samamba]

Remco is winning this stage. Still climbing faster than the peloton, not many doms left there who actually want to catch him. And 2nd group is definitely not a threat.

 

[Didinho]

Remco already wore 5 different jerseys this Vuelta. Was just a tactic yesterday to go for the KOM one.
Hope he can also win some stages now.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Hard pass on that walking bridge.

It looked pretty vertigo-inducing...

Otherwise I think the scenery has been lovely - lots of greenery, mountains, nice weather. and people climbing mountains on bicycles. It's lovely.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I have no clue what UAE is doing anymore.

[Netserk]

Damn, it can really be felt that Bay and Worre don't commentate for the second half of this stage, but that we instead are served Holm ...

 

[Captain Awesome]

Movistar is a pretty big joke this Vuelta…

 

[Red Rick]

Pace is way too low

 

[iBanesto]

no wonder Remco's been sick, drinks out of a water bottle from a random fan!

Bardet keeps doing that.

Desperate for water.

 

[Rob5091]

Pace is way too low

Yep, if UAE want to attack this is too slow - amp it up!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The camera team has done a terrible job of showing Storer escaped.

 

[RobertCrawley]

I like what UAE is doing. They need to keep pushing in hopes that Sepptimus finally cracks. Sepp has never been here before, so UAE is giving it a go. I appreciate that.

But I do hope Sepptimus hangs in and stomps the final kilometers to write his name on this race..
