Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 2: Mataró - Barcelona, 181.8k

[movingtarget]

Hell of a way to end a race. Giant anti climax...........

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Kron gets some bonus points

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Looked like Kron, but maybe Van Eetvelt?

No doubt judged purely on riding style from the jump before the top it was Kron, not Van Eetvelt.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Props to Kron for actually racing.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow Kron looked really strong! He probably would've won even if all the other GC guys were here!

 

[HelloDolly]

Kron ..a man who can cycle in the rain....rare these days

 

[Volderke]

Nice tribute.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And in the end the finishing circuit is the least problematic part of the course to navigate.

If Ian Stannard won this stage it'd be just about the best weather he'd ever won in.

Cheers. Was pretty sure it was Kron, Kirby was saying Van Eetvelt.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice to see Lotto get a win.

 

[Salvarani]

Great win for Kron and Lotto! They needed that now. Pointing up to the sky.

 

[HelloDolly]

I think the Vuelta have a new mission...to get results for the lesser teams

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Kron ..a man who can cycle in the rain....rare these days

He learned from his LBL haywire in the spring.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Awesome win, Andreas Kron!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

First win for Lotto since De Decker's passing, so at least one good thing came out of this day.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Leaf-covered road and the lone rider coming in is Kron, chapeau!

 

[roundabout]

A bit of winding road to victory, but decision to skip the Tour paid off for Kron in the end

 

[movingtarget]

Well done Kron.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The kind of top 10 you only see in one of those midweek 1.1 Belgian supermarket car park races that De Lie cleaned up points in last year.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Chapeau Kron!!

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Cheers. Was pretty sure it was Kron, Kirby was saying Van Eetvelt.

I'm feeling sorry for those forced to hear on Kirby. Gave up on him after a single season I must say...

 

[Didinho]

Instant fan of Kron. If you don’t race, you can’t win. Good for Lotto this one!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

So, if they took the time at 9k for GC, then Piccolo is leader?

Bob Roll keeps saying that Bardet will be leader...if he was more than 6 seconds behind Piccolo at 9k, how can that be possible? I mean, Roll is a f**king idiot, so I can't trust anything that comes out of his mouth.

 

[Valv.Piti]

What was dangerous about again?

 

[noob]

Pointing to the sky for lost teammate. Not the worst ending of this stage!
