Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 16: Luanco - Lagos de Covadonga, 181.3k

[Didinho]

Ben always got a strong last km in the legs when dropped. He saves the jersey with 6”.

 

[E_F_]

Skjelle! lmao

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Covadonga in and of itself has produced so little in the way of gaps in recent years.

 

[Brullnux]

Good effort from O'Connor. A lot smarter than some of his other rides this Vuelta, didn't follow, didn't crack, kept the jersey

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

O'Connor still in red! Nice effort!

 

[ontheroad]

Looks like Roglic deliberately avoided taking red today. It could have easily been a minute and a half plus. The disrespect shown to O'Connor in this race by Carapaz, Mas and Roglic has been bizarre.

Ben Of'Course keeps red.

 

[Sciatic]

What is the flag someone is waving at the finish with a yellow cross on a blue field? Asturia?

 

[JosefK]

O'Connor at the line!

Love these buildings built into mountains and caves Europe does so well

Yes

 

[perico]

No more complaining about Mas being boring or never doing anything. He has been aggressive the entire race.

 

[Rob5091]

Shake of the head from O'Connor over the line, but he did better then a lot expected. Still in red but only 5 seconds on Roglic.

 

[noob]

I want to go there, it looks so cool!

 

[Brullnux]

O'Connor still has a (slim) chance at a podium

 

[E_F_]

Skjelmose takes about a third of the gap to white.

 

[Rackham]

Well there you go. O'Connor's lead has gone. Now Mas & Carapaz have to keep on attacking him though.

It's such a weird climb.

Gaps would literally be bigger if they put the finish lower

My god some people really are searching for something to get upset about. The group was just being careful making sure they didn't crash on that wet section with some downhills.

Or perhaps several more. Attacks will have to come from Mas or Carapaz to take time. Roglic has no need to take more time unless there are some easy bonus seconds involved.
