Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 21: Hipódromo de la Zarzuela - Madrid, 101.1k

[search]

Next time you do something dumb & feel bad, remember FDJ & Bahrain thought they could win a sprint without a sprinter.

in the end, Dainese and Molano were nowhere, and Hugo Page came 1st from the peloton. So I'd say it was worth a shot. Everyone could have won this sprint.

Govekar

Yeah, but that's like an extra level of optimism vis-a-vis Askey.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well Page was best of the field today and Askey has been about the same level in the Vuelta. What Bahrain were aiming at though I have no idea.

Danish commentators were guessing they were riding for Govekar, who of course has the rather embarrasing distinction of being the only Slovenian WT rider without a stage win.

Don't get the pink accent stripe for Jumbo..Giro sure, pink..

 

[Vroome.exe]

There would never be a stage like this if Remco didn't participate. This guy is the most entertaining rider in the peloton, by far.

 

[AmRacer]

Sepp,
Giro 14
TdF 12
Vuelta 1

Total 27
The fourth or fifth best and he didn't even tried Giro and Tour

 

[DNP-Old]

So f*cking what? If he doesn't do anything, he also ends 8th and Hugo Page wins. He raced for the hell of it, and I think that's great.

If Remco does nothing they'd have complained, if Remco just goes for it they'll complain as well. Some people just want to be sad and sour.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Well, thats over.

I am glad Kuss won, but it's a Glad Level 2 out of 10...it's hard to watch in a lot of ways.

Off to watch the Roanoke US CX...you know, racing that is actually fun to watch.

 

[dobrien]

And he finished 8th.

As I said, too much pride up in front.

Horrible take. Take him out of the mix that break never gets near the line.

 

[Ricco']

Jumbo had almost two months (or more) to think of a nice looking jersey to celebrate winning 3 grand tours in a year, and still came up with one of the most bland takes they could have think off.

 

[Carols]

Major CHAPEAU to Jumbo Visma, the First team in the history of the sport to Win ALL 3 Grand Tours in the same year.

 

[Volderke]

That’s it.

Thanks guys, see you in Lombardia.

If Remco does nothing they'd have complained, if Remco just goes for it they'll complain as well. Some people just want to be sad and sour.

It was a complaint? Mkay.

 

[balac]

Man, that was great. Thank you to Remco and Ganna for giving an entertaining stage instead of the normal procession.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Some kind of dancing number on the stage right now, one of the dancers looks like he might be inebriated...

I actually like it, but I like the look of predominately black kit.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Dang, Groves' thighs are just massive compared to the other winners

 

[Volderke]

It looks very cozy in the riders-for-the-podium room.

Apparently they are drinking lo-cal beer - ew

Plot twist: Kuss rode Giro and Tour as practice sessions to peak at the Vuelta. Primoz and Jonas will make history as the best ever pair of climbing domestiques!

[Volderke]

Fun fact: Almeida is on the podium.

(Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, mayor of Madrid) 😀

You can argue how good domestiques they were though, but thats pretty spot on!

 

[Unchained]

Why didn't remco point to his hat when he finished the stage?

He points to his head on the stages when he is thinking..

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why does remco have to make la vuelta procession about him? Will this narcissicst ever have the decency to get fatigued and have a day off from breakaway?

 

[Berniece]

It was a complaint? Mkay.

I thought it was bad trolling
