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

[Didinho]

Visma deserved this.

Kaden takes it.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

The universe is restored with WvA = 2nd

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert too late to open the sprint.

 

[Samamba]

Let's all laugh at Visma

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Groves earned that by surviving out the ascent. Impressive for him to be there to do it.

Let's never do that again, though.

Lol, nice Rabofail.

Meanwhile on VLAB twitter:

'WVA loses mountain stage to Kaden Groves"

 

[KZD]

Didn't thought that Groves would be able to win this one, chapeau!

Van Aert clearly should have been in the breakaway.

 

[Landeirovic]

Groves wins mountain stage

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Impressive from Groves on a finish like that. Couldn't wait for too long because Wout would've jumped him and then kept the distance the whole way.

Kirby 'That was absolutely amazing'

I feel like such a fool.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Well.

You ****ing idiots.

 

[Didinho]

Van Aert too late to open the sprint.

Was thinking he would definitely go earlier again but Groves knows it now.

 

[Potomac]

I'm sure we all had Groves in our fantasy leagues today.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Corbin would've been very close to the win if Israel had someone of help.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Really nice win for Groves. Good of him to hang on. Other than the last 2k it was pretty boring, yet strange as an experience.

Wout overtook Groves initially and faded towards the end, definitely didn‘t go too late.

Bittner survived this... Groves was always surviving this one, his climbing is still very underrated by many. it's 4%, too easy in the wheels.

Visma should've just went in the break with Van Aert and teammates.

Groves is an excellent climber in fairness, what was the Giro stage where he led on the front for ages up a hard climb?

You folks are being silly—Wout was in a tough break all day yesterday so that was unlikely today: so imagine the team bus, “okay we can chase the break and grab KOM and 50/50 chance at stage win, or we can f&cking around and do nothing today. Cause you all are paid to chat while chillin at back of the peloton.”

 

[noob]

But it did look pretty

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert too late to open the sprint.

Hmm, nope. Just too slow.

Van Aert was literally freewheeling on that last climb, not even breating, he was fit enough to go in the break with teammates.

Nice sprint by the two best sprinters. Groves was happy with that one............
