Love the grinta move by Soler but he should've timed it with a realistic possibility to get to Remco and Cattaneo. Now he'll doomed in no man's land.

Doom V- Solercube

 

[noob]

Jumbo forced to ride harder I think is the tactic from UAE.

So they're trying to crack Roglic.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Soler is only 2 minutes behind Roglic so this could be a smart move if he links up with Remco.

Roglic should have went with Soler to stir the pot even more.

 

[Lexman]

Remco goes first of all for the KOM points and will see then what happens in the bunch, he might sit up :

Remco Evenepoel wil niet wachten tot de Angliru: “Eerst wegrijden om de bergpunten te pakken op de eerste twee cols”

Winnen op de mythische Angliru, een van de zwaarste en steilste beklimmingen van Europa, daar droomt elke renner van. Remco Evenpoel houdt de druk echter af: hij wil in deze zeventiende Vuelta-rit wegrijden uit het peloton om de punten voor de bergtrui te pakken op de Calladiella en de Cordal...

Poor Soler is chasing potatoes on the descent / in the valley.

But who knows he first bleeds a minute in the valley and, with his excellent form) makes it all up on Cordal or even Angliru?

Ofcourse Soler power gpes nuts when Im in a lecture about photovoltaics

 

[Tim Cahill]

He's making the JV roulers spend some energy at least, going to be strange tactically if it's just the 3 leaders left with 10k to to go on Angliru.

Can you take a lecture on nuclear instead?

 

[Alien Performance]

Just catching up rn, is the UAE team car on crack?

 

[Lexman]

Soler caught by Germani and Sepulveda

Vingegaard addressed the "winning for Kuss" joke in an interview just published. His answer was rather neutral, but he stressed that he would be happy if Kuss wins the GC.

Once again the KOM jersey is a gimmick.

Did I just hear Vingegaard make a joke???

Søren Reedtz: Remco asked 10 times the last time, whether he would be allowed to go on the attack. Now he lost more time, will you let him up the road?

Vingegaard: Well, now I'm 2nd in the KOM classification, so of course not.

 

[saunaking]

Catteneo

meanwhile Soler reconsidering his life choices

 

[Big Doopie]

Cattaneo - really the only QS teammate who is Jumbo quality. He has been amazing.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Kaden Groves turning himself inside out for zero points.

If.

If.

 

[Tim Cahill]

You can tell Sean Kelly is a bit perplexed at Kuss and can't relate to his naivete in this position at all, he knows cycling and a the psychology of a winner better than anyone.

 

[tobydawq]

Groves sprinting for 0 points.

 

[Rob5091]

UAE need to up the pressure early on the next climb - send Almeida up the road!

Yes, he's slowly beginning to master human behaviour

 

[Didinho]

Well done Mattia. Rider of the day.

Remco Rocket Activates Boosters

 

[Rob5091]

Cattaneo done - good team work!

 

[Wvv]

There goes Remco. Almost 27 km solo, 2:45 on the peloton. Very curious.
