Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 16: Liencres Playa - Bejes, 120.1k

[Samamba]

Ineos killed the break and probably also themselves. Bernal only one up there.

 

[Netserk]

Ineos nowhere now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Never mind Ineos itself, now nobody seems to have the legs to make a proper move in general.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Great scenery. Rough, similar to the way they are riding it today.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lovely green scenery and seaside cliffs.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

That seemed a very tired attack by Bernal there.

 

[dgodave]

Ooh nice upper level arcade on that church / monastery thing.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The rain is back

 

[Rob5091]

Now that's a proper rain shower! What were Ineos up to? Get Bernal in the break?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

For heaven's sake, "torrential rain" - it's just a shower!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

For heaven's sake, "torrential rain" - it's just a shower!

All part of the plan to abolish racing in the rain.

/tinfoil hat off

 

[saunaking]

loving the action and weather!!

 

[Netserk]

Alpecin to keep it together until the intermediate sprint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

GC teams are probably going to need to do an hour of riding on the flat at most to make this a GC day. So naturally, the break will win.

 

[Samamba]

If the GC riders actually let the break win now they should get a beating.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Hold on, I have a good stick somewhere.

 

[Netserk]

Big group with a little gap.

Now that's a proper rain shower! What were Ineos up to? Get Bernal in the break?

I would say so

 

[Escarabajo]

I would say so

Bernal is under so much pressure. He is riding on fumes. I don't think that is a good idea.

 

[Samamba]

Actually impressive ride from Groves. From the original breakaway it's only Groves, Bardet and Poole who are still responding to attacks.

 

[glassmoon]

lol Ineos missing again? would be hilarious actually

 

[Samamba]

Valter is constantly closing gaps so they want to control, but it's a really hard parcours to control.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The heli shots of the riders look wild, they're just kind of all over the road.

 

[Rob5091]

So the same 10 guys are going to go up the road again? what is this, a juniors race?!

 

[Danskebjerge]

That seemed a very tired attack by Bernal there.

Yeah, it was a "my boss says I have to" attack.
