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

Pacher should've stopped pulling a long time ago. What is he doing? They're taking turns as if the others are 10 seconds behind them.

Honestly wouldn't exclude the thought he and Wout made a 'take me to the line' kind of deal.

 

[Sciatic]

No one who knows?

If it’s French it would be a soft ‘c’, but don’t know his nationality

 

[Didinho]

Pacher’s attack makes Remco’s attack looks like Pogi’s.

The coast looks like a nice place to fly a kite.

Or being a kite

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Wow! That was one of the greatest attacks in cycling history by Pacher.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yeah maybe some sort of arrangement makes sense

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Pacher goes for a stealth attack. Unfortunately Wout spotted it

 

[Red Rick]

Still more tension than the Tour de France

Like watching a cat toy with a cornered mouse

Pacher reads this forum, and has found out that "wheel-sucker" is apparently the worst thing you can be?

 

[Unchained]

Why is Pacher pulling? What does this do for him?

It gets him second place. Side by side Wout is in the saddle turning it over easy, like he is at a spin class, Pacher is all over the place standing up trying to get on top of the gear and stay w Van Aert.....Frenchie booble head!! Parcher is riding an absolute great race and be sure that he has told Wout, I can help, just don't drop me.. Soler and his partner don't have same chemistry..

 

[noob]

What was this poor pacher doing?

 

[Scarponi]

Must be frustrating to not have a sprint in cycling

The vuelta is the redemption tour

Pacher actually has a perfectly decent sprint, but when you've spent the past hour emptying yourself like your Van Aert's domestique...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pacher deserved to finish 5th in that 2 man sprint.

 

[meat puppet]

That was either the shortest leadout or slowest sprint ever. Maybe both.

 

[Unchained]

Very respectful and tasteful finish by Van Aert..gentleman!!

Terrific effort though, hat's off to Pacher.

Didn’t watch to be fair, obviously didn’t help himself

 

[tobydawq]

Excellent sprint by Pacher.

 

[topcat]

The greatest battle ever for 3rd place in a stage of the kiss your sister tour.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Holding his kid Wout looks huuuuuuge

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I actually like FDJ historically, mainly due to Pinot and I was fully behind them in the beer gate last year with Visma...
...but it also has to be said that they're strategically (the Gaudu drama two years in a row, their approach with Lenny Martinez, getting rid of Demare) as well as tactically (this year's approach in the Tour and today's exhibition) just absolutely abysmal.

I know that Wout would've won 90% of the time but at least race with some sort of brain, jesus.

with only 5 (or 6? Is Bou ahead?) guys up the road, we at least should still see a bit of a sprint from the peloton
