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

[Netserk]

Vingegaard with the most obvious fake drop ever. Anglosphere will lick it up anyway.

I don't know, maybe he paid the price for his efforts so far. I think Kuss was just simply better today.

That was actually embarrassingly obvious.

 

[veganrob]

Vingo did not want to let Kuss win.

Are you interested in buying a beautiful San Francisco bridge?

Oh look, Evenepoel is winning. That means all the haters can once again come up with fake quotes to justify their hate for him. How dare he win from the break, such a coward! How dare he win KOM, useless award! He should just retire instead of offending forum members.

I don't think that is a widespread view, Remco acting void of humility and sportsmanship..said out loud that Kuss was a non factor in a immature moment of chest beating for the media, was totally unnecessary.
No matter him kicking butt in stage wins, his cavalier and careless overconfidence letting Kuss plus 40 roll away was a mental mistake, he proves over and over and over that he has the physical part of bike racing mastered. Bravo for todays outstanding victory, impressive indeed but get your ego in check.

Kuss is American. So is MM

Theory: Vingegaard lost these seconds today so he's allowed to sprint for a possible victory on Saturday.

I knew you couldn't stop

 

[dobrien]

Roglix is being denied chance to do veulta winning record, and vingagard is denied chance to do historic tour + vuelta double, because they are going to gift it to this spineless American dude bro to appease all the American twitter users

Ok this is just patently idiotic. You might not like what you saw in this race but you're calling a guy who has ridden all 3 GT's this year at a super high level, is in the red jersey and was instrumental in the wins in the other 2, 'spineless'? You're a fool.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I am a huge Sepp Kuss fan and get wanting to honor him, but the commentators are totally losing me. CVV’s respect for Vingegaard has “increased exponentially” because he is letting his teammate win?

 

[nightowl]

Evenepoel taking 9:29 on Kuss, showing everybody he could have taken this amount of time, at will, in every stage.

Took almost 20 minutes on the two longest high mountain stages to shut up the haters

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So the JV hornets didn't sting mighty Sepp today! As I expected. Skeletor was even a helper, wow. The race was decided (and maybe set) yesterday.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was actually a worse final mountain stage than that of the 2020 Tour. Equally boring breakaway action and even worse 'racing' from the peloton. I'm impressed, tbh.

Sepp will be ready to ride his heart out for them in the coming grand tours.

 

[Didinho]

Remco’s heart celebration looked more like a patato. Maybe for farmer son Lampi.

Edit: He just said it was an “O” for his wife Oumi.

 

[JosefK]

Look, we all know it was a stage (theatrical) performance today. But Jumbo built a lot of good will, achieved a lot of redemption in areas other than seconds on the clock. Also, hats off to Remco.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vingegaard probably a bit conflicted but is afraid about how it looks so seems to have fallen in line.

Roglic isn't pretending, big frown on the face doing no pulls, he's what my sister would call 'a messy b*tch', Tour next year could be fun if they're there on the same team.

Shades of Mont Ventoux 2009 with Contador giving Lance the thumbs up to troll him.

 

[noob]

Sepp said sorry to Jonas for something after the finish but I couldn't hear what it was?!

Cycling commentators are so superficial. And they suffer from borderline syndrome.

One day it's Vingegaard the evil backstabber. The next it's Vingegaard the generous helper.

That one at least had some competition for the stage win.

"Sorry for dropping you"

I think this was the worst stage I have seen ever.

 

[RedheadDane]

Vinjebo actually had a pretty good theory:
Yesterday was the "final test"; if he kept the jersey, they'll ride for him.

 

[Andre]

Remco again!!!

One day it's Vingegaard the evil backstabber. The next it's Vingegaard the generous helper.

And they're possibly the most embarrassing homers this side of Jack Edwards.
