Ayuso: I've had a really bad day. I'm very happy that I saved the day. I told the team that I was struggling a lot in the middle of the stage.

Ayuso probably looked the weakest out of him, Evenepoel, Roglic, Vingegaard and Mas. You have to wonder if any of them will regret not even trying to make a move once we get to his favoured terrain.

Sciandri is lucky if they even send him to the Giro, despite his track record of winning it with the Carapaz-Landa combinations.
When it comes to ds selection at Movistar nepotism and tradition are more important than ability and actual results...

Remco couldn't drop them but this was not a climb to try to drop them. The only way Remco can drop Jumbo is to attack when there is no more than Roglic and Vingegaard, do a hard attack that creates some separation (not even uphill, just in a rolling part) and try to widen the gap with his TT skills. That really seems the only way and that's also the most difficult way to tactically pull off.
Uphill, Remco won't drop them (maybe the contrary). Remco needs an ambush, but with such a Jumbo team, chances are very slim.
By the way: Sepp Kuss: congratulations for that red jersey...! I would be super stoked if he keeps it until Madrid!

There's wheelsucking and there's hanging on. Hard to say which one unless you know if riders were on the limit. Vinge also didn't do any attacking.
I dont think he went all out. Nice tempo day, feeling better, over his sickness. Too many bees around and too short a climb to risk an attack.
Well managed!

Yeah he seemed really happy and relaxed. He's usually quite dull in these post-race interviews. He should be more animated like today. It suits him well!Roglic surprisingly not his usual stoic self.
Must be for Netflix...

Wow that was quick…
Anyway I’m glad I was wrong and that Remco appears to have gotten over whatever it was that was hindering him the other day

Every time Remco accelerated to try and see if JV riders would drop, Soler was dropped.
Remco then slowed down a bit, Soler was allowed to come back. Just watch a race with some focus.
Not the way GT wants to go out. No idea why they still have bernal babysitting him.
One gel too many........Roglic surprisingly not his usual stoic self.

A bit of an exaggeration, but this wasn’t the plan. At least we get an exciting Vuelta now
Best part was Vinge celebraiting Roglič win, when he crossed the line.

Mas looked perfectly fine going uphill, considering he’s admitted that he’s not 100% due to his TDF injuries and training crash.
Going downhill… ouch. That was painful to watch His problem is that riders like Remco and Roglic are able to gain seconds every time there is a sprint for bonus seconds. Those start to add up.

Roglic didn't have anything left when Remco accelerated with 300mtrs to the top. The fact the whole team worked and JV didn't dare to attack besides Kuss who was very reliefed he made it over the top in the front group, indicates that the pace was very high.

Yea but nepotism and tradition should also mean Lastras gets a spot, he's been in the setup for 28 years (Banesto amateur from 1995 to 1997, Banesto/Illes Balears/Caisse d'Epargne/Movistar from 1998 to 2015 and in the team car since 2016) and is actually a good DS.
Much as though Txente's work as a domestique was revered, the guy is basically a driver with a microphone.
He road very smart. If he had been sucked into chasing/covering attacks he was screwed. Handled that kuss attack like a champ.

Yes I feel bad for him, crashed twice already, and losing Thymen. Hopefully Ineos regather themselves and go for stages with Bernal or even Thomas.

2 seconds between top 8 on the stage says it all. Remco showed he did not mind leading up the climb but we don't know what Jumbo were feeling - just following? Glad to see Ayuso hanging on - could be a good sign for next week. Young Lenny M lost the red jersey but still did well.
