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

[Elos Anjos]

Maybe Remco fans whose GT hopes for their boy have skyrocketed again after plummeting are like these couples that cannot break up although one is clearly being emotionally abused.

 

[Savant12]

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

The talking point will still be Remco cracking spectacularly in this Vuelta.

 

[Netserk]

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?

Riders would also prefer Cavendish's results in GTs over most others, but that doesn't make Cav a GT rider.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Did QS DS shout in Remco's ears that the ramp has to be climbed two times?

 

[tobydawq]

Remember to be on the lookout for the supposed Gorilla celebrations.

 

[tobydawq]

Riders would also prefer Cavendish's results in GTs over most others, but that doesn't make Cav a GT rider.

Cav never won a GT though, so cut the crap.

 

[Volderke]

Is this the greatest GC yoyo (in time deficit) in recent history?
27 minutes lost
8 minutes gained
3 minutes gained
14 minutes lost
8 minutes lost
10 minutes gained

All consecutive stages.

 

[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.

Hahahahaha - Mas not even on the list! But yeah nice top 10!
Don't forget Remco won this race overall already

[SafeBet]

Gap to the second place o/u 3 minutes, what do your reckon?

Hmm...maybe he is the new...Merckx Grouch Marx afterall...

 

[Red Rick]

Comon Remco, celebrate it early, and then do the next lap

 

[theyoungest]

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?

Remco is too small for the tablecloth, too big for the napkin... as they say. He's too good for these breakaways because there aren't any proper contenders in them.

 

[Netserk]

Cav never won a GT though, so cut the crap.

That is immaterial to the point I made as a response to the post in question.

Do you think beating Poole and Bardet in breakaways makes someone a better GC rider than Ayuso and Mas?

 

[RedheadDane]

Could actually have been quite funny if Evenepoel had "celebrated", then made a "just kidding" gesture, and continued.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Gap to the second place o/u 3 minutes, what do your reckon?

Over

 

[search]

so, has Caruso stopped for a coffee at the top yet?

 

[tobydawq]

That is immaterial to the point I made as a response to the post in question.

Do you think beating Poole and Bardet in breakaways makes someone a better GC rider than Ayuso and Mas?

Do you think always arguing against a certain rider makes you qualified to participate in discussions about said rider?

Popularity on Procyclingstats? That's what they race for, of course.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Poole losing time

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Is that Tratnik in the group?

 

[Red Rick]

Just show the peloton, not Evenepoel descending. You don't want kids to watch that and think that's how you're supposed to descend a mountain on a bicycle.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Damn just look at this descent, maybe we will finally get the Caruso descent attack I've been promised if he waits at the top.

 

[Unchained]

Godzilla is awakened.. He is just going to ride to Belgium for lunch

Yeah, I‘ve been using the little-known Soupe Standard in recent days, to see where Remco comes each day in relation to Geoff.
