Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 20: Manzanares El Real - Guadarrama, 207.8k

[TourOfSardinia]

Poels & Tiberi up front
for Landa?

 

[Red Rick]

Cause Remco really is going for GC after all?

It's 35 riders. Multiple UAE, Movistars, and Bahrein riders. Plus Evenepoel driving the break. It can actually turn into a headache that wasn't necessary

Jumbo keeping the break under control at 1:30

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo very much not sitting up. If you want the stage, you really should not be letting this kind of break up the road...

 

[noob]

No one one of the guys in the break are even close in GC. It's above 20 minutes!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cooperation is extremely good for a group of this size, by the way.

 

[DNP-Old]

They were probably just keeping the break at bay because it wasn't clear who was in there and who wasn't. At one point they even made mention of Enric Menos being in there.

That makes more sense for a noob. No need for Jumbo to chase this stage!

Poels & Tiberi up front
for Landa?

Tiberi is kind of a loose gun, so you never know.

 

[Reynard]

I thought I spotted Ma earlier in the break.Hopefully we hear about it after the race if he had to drop out because of the peer pressure

What a break...Remco, Soler, Poels, Kämna, Costa, Kron, Bardet...some of the best break away riders in the world

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I really want Evenepoel and Costa to go to the line together. Would be more gesturing than in an Italian traffic jam.

It could turn interesting but TBF none of the other non-Jumbo GC contenders have shown that they have the legs to derail the Jumbo train. If someone does try to take the race to Jumbo then I can see Kuss losing out...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this

 

[DNP-Old]

Can we pour one out for Trek? Mollema has declined quicker than Adriano and Yao Ming, but still got given a contract until 2027.

I can see Costa taking a second win pointing at his helmet

 

[Red Rick]

Gap not going up quickly, which means that despite everyone taking turns they're all taking soft pulls

This. If Kuss didn't have a GC lead this is whare Rogla, Remco and Jonas could've battled

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jumbo need to get off the front and start gesticulating and pointing forwards to the rest of the bunch, as if to say 'we've got Wilco up the road'.

 

[noob]

 

[theyoungest]

Letting the breakaway go, as Jumbo are obviously doing, is the wise choice, as the chance of Vingegaard grabbing the Vuelta win by accident decreases if there aren't any bonus seconds on the line.

'Me doing some research, first time for everything' - Robbie McEwen

And you wonder why GCN commentary is bad...

And Robbie is probably the best to listen to on gcn.
Falling asleep watching this

Godon FTW

 

[Red Rick]

Gonna be a long day for Gesink and Van Baarle

 

[Rob5091]
