Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 21: Madrid - Madrid, 24.6k (ITT)

[nightowl]

Did McNulty fall or have a mechanical? Weird to lose a minute in only a few km.

This is your day, Stefan!

This is Kung's golden chance to finally win a Grand Tour stage so really hoping he finally wins one. At this point, only Roglic might stop him.

Danni & Adam graduates from the university of stating the bleeding obvious ad infinitum

I am back from holidays and missed the last 10 days of the Vuelta..just caught 5 min highlights

Thought Roglic would win and he did though cant really cheer for him some how but no denying he is a great athlete

Mas, Carapaz, Landa, are all good and fought the good fight though just not at the same level esp with TT thrown in

I though O Connor did very well in defending that jersey ...he did his very best and who could ask for more so chapeau to him

Big shout out to Soler who makes races entertaining

There is alot to be said for NOT making GTs too hard ..

Of course a random UAE'er is surprising a bit

He was promising in spring until he broke his collarbone (edit: elbow) in GP Denain.
Was WC in Leuven U23, and 3rd in NC TT.
And I have him in my phantasy team

Some more bad luck: he broke his arm (2 times) and collarbone, next to that elbow, all in the course of 2-3 years. So a very promising rider with a lot of bad crashes.

I honestly don't think Roglic can do that if Küng keeps this level. And surely you meant stomp rather than stop

 

[MJR]

Kung bringing the spice today.

Also Pity Poole and Frigo did not get a stage win but Dunbar wins were fab and will do wonders for his career and confidence going forward

Probably should've went with stomp actually lol. But yeah, Kung is looking on fire. Fingers crossed for no bad luck.

Gesink’s last GT stage?

 

[RedheadDane]

Congratulations on a great career, Robert.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The streets will never forget Robert Gesink attacking a full Peak-Sky train on La Pierre Saint-Martin.

Will miss Robert Gesink.... a fab team mate

Will miss de Gendt ... a great breakaway rider and stage winner

 

[QueenStagiaire]

McNulty crashed apparently and was passed by Gesink

 

[Netserk]

Brandon has been down?

 

[RedheadDane]

Gesink’s last GT stage?

Definitely, he's retiring.
Probably even his last race period.

McNulty looks to have crashed somewhere

Indeed a crash :/

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Awww McNulty ..such a shame

 

[noob]

I wish Kung could win for once

 

[Heston]

KUNG!

 

[BeachBum]

Brandon has been down?

Bloody knee crossing the finish line

 

[Sciatic]

Definitely, he's retiring.
Probably even his last race period.

Kinda looks like it as he’s letting it sink in there in finish area.

 

[RedheadDane]

Küng just... murdering people!

 

[will-10]

Well this is strange, Kung is going fast and still hasn't sabotaged himself yet or had anything go wrong.
