Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 18: Pola de Allande - La Cruz de Linares, 178.9k

[Didinho]

Looks good for Remco.

 

[RedheadDane]

Evenepoel likes murdering DSM riders.

 

[nightowl]

Tiberi is going to be lethal next year after an interrupted season

Cats the world over shudder in fear

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

In one moment
#FreeLanda
Right onto next one
#FreeRemco

 

[DNP-Old]

Gorgeous.

 

[saunaking]

Chapeau!
So how is this being a worse GT rider than Mas or Ayuso???

 

[Netserk]

Caruso couldn't even keep up with Poole? Meh.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Rm Rm Rm Remco

 

[RedheadDane]

Kuss surrounded by Vingo and Roglic reminds me of that scene in Finding Elmo when Dory runs into Bruce and the other sharks.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Looks good for Remco.

I want what he had for breakfast this morning.

 

[Red Rick]

Chapeau!
So how is this being a worse GT rider than Mas or Ayuso???

It's the part where he's 30 minutes down in GC enforcing his dominance over guys who are more than an hour down.

 

[nightowl]

Right then that’s the stage sorted, are the peloton going to do anything?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Tiberi is going to be lethal next year after an interrupted season

Unless, ofcourse, he once again interrupts it for himself

 

[Bolder]

Remco rides a bit like MvdP. Brute force. He could be the world's greatest GT stagehunter if he gives up his GC dreams...

 

[Elos Anjos]

He got the virus Almeida had so can't fault him for it.

Last time they will sleep together in the same room.

 

[tobydawq]

Congratulations to Remco Evenepoel for his 50th career win.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Bahrain need to unleash Poels if they want to drop Ayoso here.

 

[theyoungest]

Chapeau!
So how is this being a worse GT rider than Mas or Ayuso???

You serious? Mas or Ayuso would win from these breaks as well. They just managed to not drop 20 minutes on a single stage.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Remco breaking the spirits of DSM riders just as much as their DSs.

 

[saunaking]

It's the part where he's 30 minutes down in GC enforcing his dominance over guys who are more than an hour down.

so 5th and 7th or whatever they are is better than 3 stages and KOM jersey?
No thank you!!!

What cyclists would prefer Mas or Ayuso's results from this vuelta over Remco's?

 

[Volderke]

I want what he had for breakfast this morning.

Slushie and ricecake (ineos recipe)

 

[Earns1985]

Landa will attack Ayuso.. that´s certain..

 

[saunaking]

You serious? Mas or Ayuso would win from these breaks as well. They just managed to not drop 20 minutes on a single stage.

I'm dead serious. That's bad planning on their part.

 

[Netserk]

I hope Kelderman dropping early is because he is taking it easy. He has been quite slow this week.

I'd rather win 3 stages and KOM, but as a show of GC rider strength, getting 4th-6th is definitely better than dropping 30 minutes on the first big mountain stage.

Especially when your major mountain stage wins are in breakaways.
