Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 3: Súria - Arinsal, 158.5k

DSM for Bardet or Poole red but could go to Carthy, Mas or Evenepoel depending on who is feeling good.

 

[Aimar16]

DSM working to get back into the red jersey possibly with Bardet. I don't think its that likely but they seem willing to give it a try.

Piccolo already suffering at the back.

It's still a very odd tactic as they don't have a team to do it, only Hamilton is working.

 

[Bolder]

OK, so Jumbo just split their team, so Roglic and Vingegaard don‘t start fighting.

That's one interpretation...

 

[Reynard]

Hamilton looking back at bardet like "bro what the F*ck are we doing here. Have you looked over your shoulder?"

DSM said that they want to use the opportunity for Poole (and initially Onley) to practice what it's like to go for GC in a GT, no matter what's the result in the end.

Maybe this is part of that plan.

I think it's pretty early to ride like GC favorites.

I think they still have hopes for the red jersey or something.

Hamilton not making much of an inroad, and how much time are they going to gain on Caruso on the descents?

Random Vine attack

The non-Pogacar UAE variation are so back

It's like Soler's personality is a virus that thrives in oil environments.

Vine v Bardet on the descent ???? who is your money on

Who is that TJV joker chasing down Bardet like his life depends on it

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I take it back, nuclear Bardet attack! Real cyclismo, it's happening

 

[Volderke]

Who knew Keldermerckx is the Jumbo GC candidate #1?

yes, of course, but it's DSM. Their plans don't always make sense.

But with Bardet in front now, it's probably for red and/or the stage win with him indeed.

Keldermerckx

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Haven’t seen a Bardet attack in years.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kelderman is going to have to try and follow Bardet down a descent. I see no issues with this plan.

 

[Sciatic]

Shouldn’t be surprising because of course it’s the mountains, but still strange to see fans in winter coats at an August stage of La Vuelta.

 

[Riek s]

Kelderman as jumping board?

Why is QS riding?

 

[Tim Cahill]

At least pull through if you're going to do it Wilco

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Soudal are reacting this strongly to the fourth-best climber on Jumbo, it will be a long three weeks for their domestiques.

 

[Bolder]

Haven’t seen a Bardet attack in years.

This one seems particularly doomed.
