Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 13: Lugo - Puerto de Ancares, 175.6k

[topcat]

So the break has 2 minutes. Can the peloton catch them? There's only 150km to go. Asking for a friend.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Break to be given 28 minutes. Marc soler to drop back to the peloton on the final climb to have the freedom to do the same thing again tomorrow

Woods to be the strongest but lose out because he's the only person in the world who the climb is not steep enough for. The legendary basque climber Mikel biskarra will take the win

 

[Samamba]

Movistar wants the stage, they're controlling.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Think this would be bridgeable on the cat 3 with 1.20 the gap but the main riders that would be motivated like Narvaez/Poole/Dunbar might be a bit nackered from the past few days, also 3 DSM up there anyway.

24 guys in the break so another big break. I do feel sorry for Kern and Euskaltel who are missing out on all the free TV time they normaly get in the break.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Barring Soler I can't really see anyone else up there having the form, Schmid and Oomen have looked quite good but the final profile is too hard. It would have Woods' name all over it usually but he's been nowhere. Going for GC today.

I agree with the last sentence.

Van Aert aiming for the KOM jersey, what a world we live in

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remember when Van Aert claimed he wasn't going for polkadots?

 

[KOM]

Remember when Van Aert claimed he wasn't going for polkadots?

Why wouldnt he if no one else cares, Yates hasnt scored in the last 5 stages

 

[Landeirovic]

Gap 6:15

Movistar has given up. Ag2R is back at the front of the peloton, now over 6 minutes behind.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Leemreize in the break for the 5th time, just to tease me for CQ game hopes.

 

[Landeirovic]

Gap 7:20 looks as a break win

 

[Rob5091]

A big break, 6 minutes up the road - it's déjà vu all over again, all over again!
Woods in the break looks the likeliest winner if the break takes it - he's good on the steep stuff.

 

[search]

it's Michael Woods, he never really is the most likely to win. But yeah, the competition looks poor, unless Vine found his legs. Bizkarra may have a shot indeed.

 

[Samamba]

That Movistar controlling didn't take long

 

[Coffeeplanter]

This is about what I would expect if the initiative has to come from Roglic and Menos.

 

[Faserr]

Gonna be one of them days where we miss critical GC action cause the breakaway is pubcrawling to the finish 1 by 1

Possible.
They just need to give them 20 min.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I don't really believe Bizkarra has great legs at the moment, and he's never really been any good at winning races on his best days anyway.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Woods really should win this one. UAE needs to fuga de la fuga with WVA, Groves and Campy before the intermediate sprint

 

[Luthor]

Roglic is still having issues with his back otherwise wouldn't have left 11 minutes to the break. So I'm guessing the strategy is to get like 30 sec from O'Connor in each mountain stage while surviving if Mas attacks.

 

[Potomac]

Gonna be one of them days where we miss critical GC action cause the breakaway is pubcrawling to the finish 1 by 1

Sad but true

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Roglič is just not gonna pull this back for Enric Mas when he can also drop O‘Connor without putting bonus seconds in play. Mas‘ team is just bad at the moment.

WTF I turn it on to see Wout and 2 UAEs alone with 100k to go!!
