Anyone the climbing time?

Where is remco

Why on earth was Roglic riding so fast?

Because he is the humble good guy, always there for the team that screws him over again and again. At least in the forum narrative

Do you guys realise what we're watching? This is a complete lack of respect from Jumbo towards the sport and its fans. We've been through all the EPO stuff, marginal gains and the supposedly " cleaning" of the sport just to go back full circle and have a team put 3 riders on the podium of a GT in 2023, one of them being a domestique who rode all 3 Grand Tours this year. They are playing and making gifts between each other for the last couple of weeks, what a complete circus.

Not that I don't agree, but there's a dedicated area in this forum for these kind of discussions.

Nothing to see here. Primož Roglič just showing the world he is the strongest.

He's the most underrated climber in cycling. It's absurd how people think he's terrible based on nothing. He performed on Loze, on Gamoniteiru, Monte Lussari & now the Angliru. Just check the Twitter watts guys, i.e. convinced of their own bullsh*t because it confirms their bias.

This is what Rog can do when he's at full peak strength.

This is so weird. They dropp Kuss, but doesn’t push so he is still in the lead. Vingegaard didn’t push at all or sprint for the bonus seconds… really weird…

Vingegaard had to let Rog take the win considering he'd done all the work. Anything else (like mugging him on the line) would have been very ugly.

cian!

saddle sore and all.

The Great One appears at the summit to interview Sepp

 

[gunara]

Unforgettable stage, one for the cycling lore, or nightmare

 

[AmRacer]

How fast did they ride up the ascent?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Poels the only guy in the top-10 whose finish was not shown in the broadcast. Did he kick a TV director's puppy or something? Always he who gets ignored.

 

[Didinho]

4 Belgians in top 16. Without Remco. Very good.

 

[GroupDK]

Well done Jumbo, at least fight for it and give us viewers a cycling show...
but also worrying how many weird sad minds that simply don't understand the DNA of sport and tend to be triggered left & right on somebody that doesn't even have any issues with it, and again and again, emphasized. "I don't want this Vuelta to be a gift" but it's like it simply doesn't resonate with third weird crowd.. they just wanna be offended, on somebody's behalf.

I love Alberto but he shouldn't be interviewing in English. Where is Laura?

 

[ppanther92]

"Happy to work for two great champions" - ffs Sepp, you are the red jersey...

 

[meat puppet]

Team Sky shouldn't have focused so hard on these 'marginal gains' and gotten a load of the 'massive gains' Team Jumbo Visma is getting instead.

Quoted for truth

 

[Scarponi]

If Pogacar didn’t exist Vinge would stroll in for the Giro/Tour double

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Did Contador just offer Kuss a big contract at EOLO?

 

[Volderke]

How fast did they ride up the ascent?

faster than the KOM jersey, so incredibly fast!

 

[Gigs_98]

The annoying thing to me is that unless Roglic drops everyone by 1.5 minutes tomorrow the result was massively effected by team dynamics anyway. Kuss only ever got red because he was in a breakaway multiple teams didn't chase. But then Vingegaard was clearly behind Roglic and is now only in front of him because twice the team decided he should be the first to attack with the better sprinter, Rolgic, waiting behind. If Kuss wins this race because his teammates don't attack him, he deserves it as much as Vingegaard who is in this position because his teammates didn't chase.

 

[saunaking]

ummmm.....no

actually yes, it's exactly like that

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic is the third best climber in the world. But jumbo is messing with him.

 

[Fantastico]

Well done Jumbo, at least fight for it.

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Kuss does not want the leaders to wait for him and just hand him the win. So they have the freedom to go as fast as possible, but he is free to defend his lead without having to work for them as usually.

 

[tobydawq]

That's how he celebrates. Man I think I spelled everything correct on that post and you still have to complain about something

He never celebrated like that? And after getting KOM points? Do you think he is Ciccone?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Did Contador just offer Kuss a big contract at EOLO?

Kuss would start pulling for fortunato

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I honestly don't understand why so many people are so invested in which Jumbo guy beats the other Jumbo guys. It isn't going to save the race either way.
