Wow Soler attack!

 

[Lexman]

Lol Soler

 

[Rob5091]

Soler, yes!

 

[CyclistAbi]

Soler. It started!

 

[nightowl]

Yessss Marc

 

[Ripper]

He is terrified of the GC boys

He certainly seems to be missing an opportunity to race this stage with the GC guys

Cattaneo really strong this Vuelta. Very underrated. Hope they can stay together long enough for the win.

What a cowardly move by remco to attack and try and win the race!

Robbie McEwen said in an interview this morning that Remco was moaning about the peloton/Jumbo not giving him room in the break because he is not a GC threat??

Can he really be that entitled???
Maybe Jumbo (or someone else) want to win the stage too?

 

[iBanesto]

That does you being the best GC rider in the world

Me no speak English.

 

[AmRacer]

Soler destroys Remcos day.

Haha...

Can't respect a rider who lost 27 mins on a stage.

Hope that this Soler attacks means that Ayuso will attack later.

Gesink also doing one hell of a Vuelta, spending lots of time in front of the peloton.

 

[CyclistAbi]

From the top Soler almost looks like Pogi.

 

[Danskebjerge]

The large desert-like plains that normally characterize the landscapes of the Vuelta haven't been represented much this year.

Love this line from the CN ticker ...

"UAE Team Emirates must have a random tactic generator between this and whatever Finn Fisher-Black was trying to do yesterday."

Remco said he wasn't allowed to go in Sunday's stage with Vingegaard policing him, and treating him as a GC treat on a day where Jumbo weren't going for the stage win (but were obviously going to allow a non-dangerous break on the road).

So that story seems to be true (applying it on Sunday's stage).

What he can't be entitled about and is actually a bit laughable, is bleeding extra time yesterday, and believing this will be a reason JV won't chase him today on the road to Angliru: Ofcourse they will chase him if they want the stage, irregardless of him bleeding extra time or not, because even if he wins the stage, it won't be by much, so that won't make any difference for GC.

 

[Winnen]

The performance from Soler this Vuelta is something I didn't see coming. The more competition the better.

 

[iBanesto]

Hope that this Soler attacks means that Ayuso will attack later.

Gesink also doing one hell of a Vuelta, spending lots of time in front of the peloton.

The most likely scenario for UAE is that Almeida attacks but he is attacking Ayuso.

 

[saunaking]

Secretly knows he cant win so wrapping up the blue dots

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Why is UAE not chasing Solers move with Fisher-Black as their new tactical weapon to mark dangerous GC moves???

TJV should make sure Vingo takes the polka dots too haha

 

[QueenStagiaire]

A time gap would be nice.

I read a rumour(?) that Matxin said car radio lost contact with the riders on the last climb yesterday so they had no clue what their riders were doing.

Their tactics since yesterday is to send a man up the road and do nothing
