Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 14: Villafranca del Bierzo - Villablino, 200.4k

[Tim Cahill]

Van Aert might be left with only Kuss/Cian(?), if it pisses it down on the descent there's going to be carnage with this big a group still here.

 

[Andre]

Come on Kuss get in there and do your job

 

[Valv.Piti]

Cian as found his place donkeying for more talented riders like Wout

 

[ice&fire]

Gap not coming down. That's the way Wout doesn't win this if no one but Visma sets the pace.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Raining.

 

[Netserk]

Blobloblo doing an honest pull for the first time in his career.

 

[yaco]

Ideally another one or two teams could help with the pacing of the climb. You want to ensure you catch the break.

Already looking for a new team

 

[Samamba]

Groves still chilling in the peloton.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Already looking for a new team

He can join up with Widar, apparantly he doesn't have a problem with voicing stuff in public either like blobloblo

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Carlos ride up to Jhonny and go for the descent attack

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Already looking for a new team

Lorena Wiebes' agent is always looking for new clients...

 

[Samamba]

How is the descent? Possible to make a difference on or?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Would have preferred this side tbh

Jens Voigt has said that ‚we‘re still waiting for the attacks by GC riders we had speculated about‘ so I guess he‘s a majesty now.

What Visma is doing today is outstanding. Great team effort

Wasn't he always king of his own mind chateau?

Edit:
That reminds me of a reply by Lothar Matthäus to a question posed to him. I translate from memory:

"Mr. Matthäus, why do you always speak in the third person of yourself?"
"A Lothar Mattäus never lets other's speak for him, a Lothar Matthäus always speaks for himself."

It's outstanding (and boring ngl) but it would be somewhat hilarious if Wout gets beaten by Groves lmao. I don't see it happening tho.

 

[Andre]

oh nooo! commercial

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can catch all the breaks they want, they need to drop Groves

 

[Andre]

Maybe they don't want to catch the break too early

or split personality

 

[Samamba]

Narvaez is really strong but thislooks impossible, even if he gets to the top first, the last few km's is still flat, last even slightly uphill.

 

[Sciatic]

Eh, it’s still a throw of the dice to try this strategy cause they could also get beaten be a rider taking a flyer. But it’s high reward/low risk for a team that has little else to work for (Kuss can take care of himself on climbs)

 

[Valv.Piti]

Cian quite underwhelming as expected
