Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2023, stage 8: Dénia - Xorret de Catí, 165.0k

[Volderke]

You simply can't ride away very far on gradients this steep.
It will be a sprint at the finish.

GC KUSS!!!!

The form to do it would have to be insane

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not sure Jonas looks too good

 

[Volderke]

As long as Kuss is in front, JV isn't doing any dangerous attacks. So very good for Remco if his only ambition is to control the group.

 

[BigCoward]

Martinez is wrestling the *** out of that bike.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Remco is taking the Kuss threat seriously. As he should.

I have to say, while obsessive Remco fans are the biggest problem for me in taking him to heart rather than him himself, his preventing Sepp Kuss from winning really moves him up in my estimation.

 

[Volderke]

The only thing that can still happen is a Roglstomp before the crest of the hill and a good descent.

 

[iBanesto]

Thought Jumbo Visma would counter after Kuss came back to the group.

 

[Volderke]

Remco aiming for a sprint and bonus, JV should aim for a close-to-the-top attack with Roglic.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Remco's just decided that his best plan here is just to go full Indurain-La-Plagne.

João Almeida is being João Almeida.

 

[Rollthedice]

Remco put to sleep all of Jumbo.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Wall climbing really doesn't deliver anymore. Think Angliru will also be quite underwhelming.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kuss dropping, hell yea.

Might get back thanks to the Almeida effect.

 

[iBanesto]

Evenepoel is "Ullrich-ing" everyone.

 

[Volderke]

Remco should have stomped (tried to), but anyway, it's a stalemate.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Funny to see Remco just pace and let Jumbo sit in the wheel

 

[Volderke]

Ayuso for a downhill attack coming...

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Sepp Kuss can get back.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Mas immediately distanced on the downhill, he's turning into the new Ivan Basso.

 

[iBanesto]

Mas dropped on the descent...

 

[Volderke]

Funny to see Remco just pace and let Jumbo sit in the wheel

He couldn't get rid of them, pace was high.

 

[Didinho]

Pace was hard enough for Jumbo to not attack anymore.

Ayuso or Remco for the stage please.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It's 2 kilometres of easy descending Enric... my god.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Mas still scared of descending?
