Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 18: Vitoria-Gasteiz - Maeztu, 179.3k

Landa has always been a very loyal rider. That's why he rightfully can demand that his team mates drop back to him and help him.

Kruijswijk for Kuss - lets go...

Thank you Adam Yates for saving the Landa top 10

Sorry, just a bit of sarcasm.

Well, but then at the top of the climb. 33km out of the finish, when it makes a difference. But like this?

It shows Kuss is another 5min back

I trust my own eyes more than ‚It‘. Not a great horror movie anyway.

 

[Fantastico]

And VPP was there?

At the top? Almost. But irrelevant because, as I said, I also rewatched the descent and at no point O'Connor was back more than 5-10 seconds.

GC Kuss has turned into Lead Seppelin this Vuelta. Dropped like a stone. Damn.

 

[search]

Everyone in the lead group betting on their own brilliant move in the final 10 kms or beating Miquel.

Vacek may just beat him in a sprint

Quickstep DS reading Ilmaestro's posts.

Cattaneo has also been a very loyal rider. He's been working for his teammates every freaking race of the calendar. And this is totally useless.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

With these kind of tactical decisions, it makes sense why Evenepoel is considering leaving QS...

Well, if he'd were to leave QuickStep he'd join Patxi Vila. The grass ain't always greener.

And Küng. I am just surprised because they won‘t be caught by anyone so why keep riding when there‘s a team with three riders.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Rolf Sørensen is slowly but surely losing it in the box, unfortunately. Hating on QS sending riders up the road in the first place when that was the only thing that could actually save him anyways...

 

[noob]

Why this reminds me of QS giro 2021. Even Remco complained about it 3 years later.

 

[durtyfat7]

Why are they riding so strong in the GC group, it's not like Landa is Pogacar.

I see him now. Live tracking somehow shows him in last group but number 1 was clearly in Landa group.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Poole hasn't taken his eyes off Marc Soler all stage, PTSD

Why are they riding so strong in the GC group, it's not like Landa is Pogacar.

Why would they save Kim Heiduk or Owain Doull or whoever for the mountains to come? This is what you have teammates for.

Are we listening to the same commentating?
Sounds to me like he's mostly criticising them not sending riders back early enough.

 

[Sciatic]

Yikes, Kern to get win #3?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco no doubt switched the TV off and made a call to rolf denk

 

[ppanther92]

Don't crash going down, Kruijswijk
