Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 10: Ponteareas - Baiona, 159.6k

[Potomac]

So nobody to any pressure on O'Connor?
EF isn't strong enough.
Red Bull or Movistar should test the waters.

 

[Potomac]

Peacock went to commecial...dammit

 

[Tim Cahill]

If he can get a small gap he might be able to extend it on the descent

 

[memyselfandI]

Would 2022 Van Aert even have been caught by Pacher?

Absolutely not tbo.

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Pacher is kinda stuck isn’t he - would have been better for him if this was a group of 4 and tactics came into it. WVA depends better and sprints better, there is no way het can beat him

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

When Wout wins today, does he get upgraded (downgraded?) to Belge Cort?

 

[Sciatic]

2022 Van Aert would have comfortably dropped Pacher by now. This is just regular-good Van Aert.

Why would he drop Pacher since the latter is contributing and can work together for the 20km after the to?

 

[Breh]

This looks like something approaching the 2022 Tour WVA version, dropping climbers on mountain stages.

Has he dropped the mythical climber Pacher yet?

 

[ciranda]

Atleast Hushovd had the skill set and mentality to actually win a real WC and not only CX stuff as Belge Pozzto does

"skill set" hide until the last 300 metres

worst race ever, still get sad and or super mad thinking about it

 

[ice&fire]

When Wout wins today, does he get upgraded (downgraded?) to Belge Cort?

Only if he grows some hair between his nose and his upper lip

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If this was the thermonuclear version of Van Aert, it would have happened without him trying.

 

[Tim Cahill]

QS may aswell have a little try because they have someone up front and it looks unlikely he can finish it off.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

A rare Nairo sighting!

 

[RedheadDane]

Only if he grows some hair between his nose and his upper lip

And dyes it blue.

 

[scribers]

This has to be another chess move by ef

 

[Didinho]

If I was Pacher I would suck wheel from now on. Even if that means let the others come back. But I’m guessing Wout will keep riding. Better to beat him in a bigger group than with 2.

 

[perico]

Climb not hard enough.

Totally. Pacher’s only hope is a bigger group and tactics come into play

 

[AmRacer]

Why isn't Red Bull and GC Kuss helping Wout 🤔

 

[Sciatic]

"skill set" hide until the last 300 metres

worst race ever, still get sad and or super mad thinking about it

But one of the biggest “where TF did they come from” race finales.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert should also just properly target the KOM, not like there are a bunch of great climbers who aren't close in GC who have scored much.

 

[JosefK]

Looks like a GC nothingburger. White flag raised.

 

[solo80k]

Good for BOC

 

[postmanhat]

Looks like a GC nothingburger. White flag raised.

Yes, Van Eetvelt and Quitana have just got back on. Bit of a nothing stage, unless you're a WVA fan.

 

[slim charles]

I really hope Pacher somehow wins just because of Eurosport commentator saying 800 times that he has no chance.

I mean, it is technically correct, but my god it's like there is nothing else he can talk about
