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

[witeken]

I can tell you this much: Vingegaard, and particularly Pogacar, is stronger than Evenepoel at a 15 min effort at 100%.

Roglic gets the stage, Kuss goes into red, and the GC riders will be spread out over 30-45 seconds similar to Stage 6. I expect Remco will go a bit better this time round but still won’t be able match Rog and Vingo.

Tell me more.

The infestation is back.

I know! But we can be certain Jumbo didn't drill it to soft pedal the climb

Remco had other ideas

 

[noob]

Kuss in red and Roglatomp. OK I'm not complaining 😍

 

[Scarponi]

Roglic vs. Valverde on these sprints would have been interesting 🤔

 

[iBanesto]

Roglic does it easy...

Gift from Evenepoel?

 

[Salvarani]

Roglic!

 

[Izzyeviel]

GC Rog is back!

[Tim Cahill]

Valverde takes the win!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bad day for Martinez and Uijtdebroeks, an irrelevance otherwise.

 

[noob]

Remco crazy strong today!

 

[Netserk]

Kuss in red or I'll riot.

The TTT has been rectified!

[QueenStagiaire]

Remco crazy strong today!

Couldn’t drop Soler

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Gaps from Ayoso and down to 4th?

 

[Berniece]

Congrats to Roglic, but good to see Remco back in form. JV tried to make the race hard but they were nowhere to be seen when it mattered.

Today showed why Remco needs to be in the front on these climbs

Jumbo did didly squat. Sure, Rog beat Remco in the sprint. Remco gained time on Vingegaard

 

[dazaau]

Great ride from Remco. Nice to see Roglic in fine form.

Roglic does it easy...

Gift from Evenepoel?

No gift, but pulling the whole descent wasn't the best way to win the sprint. I wonder why Remco kept pushing? Once it was clear Kuss re-connected in the descent, was Evenepoel trying to filter out some other GC riders like Mas? Because if he would have had a Jumbo jersey, you would have believed Remco was the perfect team mate for Roglic.

 

[iBanesto]

No.

 

[Miha81]

Remco was good today against yellow raid.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Quite fascinating that we have 2 teams that both have 3 of the 8 strongest riders. It’s not going to be easy for Remco and Mas to avoid being tactically outplayed.
