Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 4: Andorra la Vella - Tarragona (184.6k)

[Ilmaestro99]

Just tuned in at about 56km to go, am surprised at how quiet this thread has been. But then looking at the dry and arid scenery I can definitely understand!

There's literally nothing happening. We need remco to take a wrong turn and blame it on the race organisation

Are they gonna catch them and go for the GC boni sprint? That could be interesting.

 

[RobertCrawley]

I appear to the only person watching this. You'll missed Dan Lloyd's anecdote about Wim Vansevenant. again

Watching with the sound off, getting a little work done.

You can't get work done if you have sound on?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Just bumped in.
Wide highways, endless high plateau apocalyptic landscapes, not happening much, apart from questionable split times to static situation, hearing heli going *flop-flop-flop* in the background.

Vuelta finally back to normal standards, your afternoon nap medicine. What's not to like?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Peloton apparently waking up as well now, only 27 secs between them and the breakaway at the mo. (When I first tuned in it was over a minute.)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oh no, peloton falling back asleep again, now they are losing time to the break. Maybe I'll go and shower or do something else useful...

 

[RobertCrawley]

You can't get work done if you have sound on?

Sadly, can't do two things at once.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Well imagine if you were trying to get your work done, while being inside a wheel of fortune. All those (scary) numbers flying around you would probably be a major distraction. For Robert it's the same, just with sound instead.

 

[RedheadDane]

Sadly, can't do two things at once.

Okay, I know men can't multitask, but (half) listening to something isn't that hard. I'm listening to the race while typing this.

I don't think I'd ever need to get my work done while inside a wheel of fortune, unless I needed to clean it.

 

[postmanhat]

Maybe some 'Just Stop Olive Oil' protestors will create a bit of excitement.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kirby going through a list of people who aren't going to sprint and mispronouncing half of them is all the motivation I need to switch this one off until 5k to go.

I think 5km to go is the magic number today... although the peloton is gaining time again. Is it for real this time?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Is this the multitasking multi-talent writing here.

Now working in my bike garage, simple manual tasks, while having La Vuelta in my earplugs and my tablet visible at my solid workshop table.

But a completely other ballgame speaking my payed work. Enough multi-tasking between breaking complex analysis* already, yet anothrr input between my ears and my brain would short out.

But ofcourse, cannot speak on behalf on others.

* ok situation for a short instant got a tad complex, camera out of focus. Think I'd better drop this multitasking and follow this exciting situation.

It's gonna be a pretty long list...

I don't think I'd ever need to get my work done while inside a wheel of fortune, unless I needed to clean it.

Then imagine, if you will, a world in which Esteban Chaves turns up at your job and starts making avant-garde drawings of bikes. I'm sure that would decrease your productivity.

 

[Samamba]

Can someone fire the TV director already?

I work with some weird people. I might give him some ideas, while continuing to clean. Then I'd start the vacuum cleaner, and he'd be the one unable to concentrate!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

19km to go, break caught

 

[DNP-Old]

Soler would be the perfect winner for this race. A meme rider and a meme race. After yesterdays antics, he tries to outsprint Vendrame and Van den Berg today.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Livestats is apparently broken, or fell asleep during this stage...

The sound goes on with 10K to go!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Tarragona is quite the beautiful coastal city. We stopped to see the Roman amphitheater and walked around.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

BikeExchange getting involved in the positioning battle for ???.

4 GC team trains leading the way with 5 Km to go on a sprint stage
