Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 17: Ribadesella/Ribadeseya - Altu de l’Angliru, 124.4k

[Devil's Elbow]

Bahrain riding to accomplish ???. Why they aren't putting everything on trying to get Buitrago, Caruso and Tiberi, who have all looked fairly good, in breakaways this week, I don't know.

Maybe remco will get the KOM points, celebrate with Gorilla gestures, drop back to the peloton and then attack again on angliru against the gc contenders and win and do more Gorilla gestures.

What are Gorilla gestures?

 

[tobydawq]

People, please stop chastising Bahrain for actually doing something. They had 5 guys in top 16 yesterday.

Poels has history here.

 

[Volderke]

Poels feeling good? He wasn't too far off yesterday.

 

[Izzyeviel]

But who are Bahrain riding for? Team Jonas or Team Rogastomp?

 

[Vroome.exe]

Ok with Bahrain pulling Remco won't stand a chance.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Poels has history here.

Another one who should have been in the break.

Bahrain turning the clock back to 2021!

Jumbo must be laughing so hard in the car right now... Someone else doing their work. As if they are able to follow Vingegaard once he goes for it

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bahrain aren't winning anything if Jumbo still have 5 or 6 guys left to pace the final climb.

I think Remco will eventually sit up over Cordal, no way he wins up the Angliru riding solo almost from the flag. He's good but he's not that good.

 

[Netserk]

Mythical Caruso descent attack coming up!

What are Gorilla gestures?

Punching the chest like a Gorilla about to charge, flexing the muscles and punching the air with an explosion of vigour. Like a Gorilla that about to charge and nothing will stop it.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Love myself some Landa and Poels cyclismo but this is hurting my boy Soler, difficult situation.

 

[Didinho]

Gonna be really hard for Remco now. He will give a good fight though, you never know.

 

[SafeBet]

Tiberi is quietly having a great Vuelta so far. Has been a top20 climber in the last couple of mountain stages.

They are mad at Landa leaving so want to ensure his first training camp with Soudal Quickstep is awkward as hell!!

 

[Bolder]

They took 25 seconds in a little more than a km.

Punching the chest like a Gorilla about to charge, flexing the muscles and punching the air with an explosion of vigour. Like a Gorilla that about to charge and nothing will stop it.

I'm not sure I understand. Could you perhaps make a short video of you doing it? I think that would be helpful to a lot of people on here. You are allowed to wear a mask of Masnada's face, if you don't want to reveal your own.

It'll be hard for Remco now.

 

[AmRacer]

Bahrain turning the clock back to 2021!

Bahrain Suspicious?

 

[nightowl]

Whenever I see a team like Jumbo pulling / controlling the peloton like absolute bosses, I always think about that trainer that once said:
you get much stronger if you are pulling, and you aren't getting any stronger if you are following wheels.

I wonder if controlling the peloton by the strongest team is, in a way, something of a self-fulfilling prophecy...?

I’ve watched enough races with Ineos in them this year to know that it’s not

Punching the chest like a Gorilla about to charge, flexing the muscles and punching the air with an explosion of vigour. Like a Gorilla that about to charge and nothing will stop it.

All it takes to stop it is a random woman in the finish area!

 

[noob]

Fog awaiting!

Of course it'll be hard for Remco to post a short video of himself doing a "gorilla gesture", possibly wearing a mask of Masnada's face, right now.
