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

[Devil's Elbow]

Wtf was that. So JV decided cry baby needs to win Vuelta and he can attack anytime he wants. Kuss and Roglič need to wait.

Why the *** would you not take over a minute on all the non-Jumbo GC riders if you have the legs?

 

[greyclouds]

We thought that this was all over with all-might Jumbo vs the rest of the field, but I guess we forgot about Jumbo vs Jumbo…

 

[Jagartrott]

This was slightly entertaining for the wrong reasons, but mostly just depressing.

Well done Vingegaard what a salute to Nathan Van Hooydonck, and thx for giving us a show.
Vingegaard has done this over and over, in the latter half of Grand Tours and been the strongest in 2021, 2022, 2023 Tour de France where the champ Pogacar couldnt hold his form.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Wonder if they thought they could do a full podium?

 

[pvieira91]

Shame on you Vingegaard

 

[RedheadDane]

DOMESTIQUE VIOLENCE!!!

What did Valter do?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Sepp does look very happy tbh.

Man made a business decision, I think. Secure the bag, Sepp.

 

[Escarabajo]

Love the forum on days like this one.

I dont see anything wrong with the way J Vis raced that climb. I still hope Sepp wins tomorrow if he can.

Shame on you Vingegaard

being Selfish! TM

Roglic saw how everyone responded to Vingegaards attack and felt so sorry for how clueless everyone was that he decided to help a bit. Seriously, some of the most braindead cycling I've ever seen. UAE literally having four riders there and deciding the best thing to do with them was to let the only one who doesn't play the most remote role in the gc attack, is just unbelievably stupid.

A WVA sighting?

Sepp is not winning anymore. I just hope Rog starts racing and stops f***ing around

Shame on you Vingegaard

Jonas isn’t here to take part.

What the h was that?

While I strongly believe Jonas to be the strongest today (actually by some margin, unexpectedly), he got gifted a lot today. But the situation is so strange that its hard to really blame a lot of the riders (Ayuso and Mas), its more on UAE and the decision to let Finn go

Panache. A win for a teammate in the hospital.

can we stop with all this garbage ?
he was riding for himself not his teammate in the hospital?
this is such bs. As if Van Hooydyk is watching from the hospital and this somehow improves his situation

Give me a f-ing break.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

By the way, UAE do not deserve to have the word ‘team’ in their official name.

Jonas is motivated by such things. You might be motivated by other things.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

The Boss!

I mean, Finn Fisher-Black's finns his way to show who's the real UAE boss - what a show (and glad weather turned to foggy not revealing too much of this phenomenal landscape for the mass bike tourism).

 

[JosefK]

Apparently, Jonas was struggling with gastro in the earlier days of the race but is feeling well, now. Bad news for everyone else in the peloton.

 

[noob]

Sepp does look very happy tbh.

I think he really is quite selfless and is almost as happy if others wins as if he himself does it. Such people are rare.

 

[Divergence]

Tbh, this is how is should be. Let us just hope they split the team in 2 or 3 and race and no to this sh**.

The problem is that Roglic and Kuss just have to sit there and accept it. They're the ones who lost today.
