Vuelta a España 2024, stage 1, Lisboa - Oeiras (ITT) 12km

[Tommy Gun]

The finish line is absolutely disgusting, riddled with trash... they should try to clean up the road before someting bad happens

 

[durtyfat7]

What did you expect more from Landa. If he loses 30-45 secs max to the GC contenders , it's expected. He can gain alot.in the mountains

 

[Carols]

Hosting a GT grand depart to boost tourism is working: I need to go to Lisbon.

You'll love it. Great city to visit!

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Would probably be a bit awkward when their time is a minute down on some random Portuguese conti rider who rode for some bathroom sealant company in the mid 2000s.

Ciclismo puro. The souls of Joni Brandão, Gustavo Veloso, Delio Fernandez (does he even have a soul?), Rui Sousa and Candido are cursed ever to wander. José Neves would have won grand tours, I am telling you.

He's coming back next year Neves! Still training and has a contract lined up apparently.

 

[perico]

Can I just say how terrible it is for Portugal to host a Vuelta start and not have the riders have a go at Senhora da Graça? Absolute blasphemy. Raul Balarcón rolling over in his grave.

It’s terrible for the Vuelta to start and not have Balarcon on the start line. He’s the FINAL BOSS of Portugal.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf Mauri was 6th in LBL and 4th in AG this year

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They're showing Vino!!

 

[Sciatic]

The walk up to the castle there is brutal in the heat

Will have to up my EPO dosage for that one!

 

[RedheadDane]

Hey, @Armchair Cyclist. If it's any consolation, even a Dane can get confused about the names of Danes.

Rolf Sørensen: I can never find Gregaard on the startlists, because he's called 'Wilsly'.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Affini about to Konovalovas the whole thing

Probably would have wanted him closer to the 30 second mark really.

 

[Landeirovic]

How many will Cian lose?

 

[noob]

Expecting to see Kiki come flying on her broom any second.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

How many will Cian lose?

How many what? Teeth? The high score stands at 1.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sean Kelly having to solo commentate is hilarious, Carlton's mic must be broken

'Lisbon... looking like err.... a pretty good city'

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Expecting to see Kiki come flying on her broom any second.

I'd like to see Francesco Chicchi come flying by on a broom, but that's probably not likely to happen either.

 

[Tim Cahill]

'Keen ootenbrooks' - another Kelly banger

Kirby is so bad that Kelly by himself is still an improvement.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic warming up there, the look of a man about to finish 12 seconds down after hurtling into the barriers.

 

[Samamba]

Tarling "only" 3s faster

 

[Potomac]

He's like molasses

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The final part has had very slow splits for more recent riders, Tarling definitely in trouble here.
