Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 6: Some random Carrefour - Yunquera, 185.5k

[Samu Cuenca]

But they at least managed to set up their display in a rival's car park (extreme right of photo)

I'm pretty sure that is an old picture from one of their own events. You can see the Lidl logo on the sliding doors at the top.

And judging by the hair of one of the guys, I'm pretty sure one of them is Quinn Simmons, who isn't here.

Interesting, they have a Lidl right next to the Carrefour where they will start. Just Intermarché is missing but, afaik, there is no Intermarché in Spain.

Talk going around of Roglic ditching the leader's jersey for some peace and quiet after the stages.
So ..... who'll be a candidate? Little Lenny M got the privilege last year and there's a whole bunch of guys down on GC already. Be interesting to see who gets in the break of the day.

I will go Pelayo Sanchez for the win from the breakaway. Van Aert should get in there too.

I think for a more authentic experience the market should be open and full of people shopping.

 

[Rob5091]

Hope they have not waxed the floor this morning, and starting from check out till number 10 ... wtf is this?!

my prediction is that Roglic will let the breakay take the red gersy. he is not Pogacar and is team is not UAE, so he will just follow moves if they'll happen. plenty of mountains still to come, so i bet selective breakaway will be allowed to go, and have large margin.

Could well be, but how about UAE send someone up the road near the end to make Roglic chase and keep the jersey?

How do you know this isn't what it typically looks like on a Thursday? It could be the reason they want to promote the store.

I know a certain Soler who would love to go in the break.

He has self-appointed himself as peloton boss, since he's been vary active trying to dictate the peloton pace.

Sivakov said that him, del Toro and Soler were those appointed to try to sneak into the breakaway on stage 4. I doubt Bora would currently allow Sivakov and del Toro to do so, but Soler should normally be a good contender indeed.

While being a huge Roglic fan, I find that "giving the jersey away" behaviour rather arrogant. I hope Bora isn't like that. Also, there's more competition than in the past and quite some GC guys are looking for stage 4 redemption, so it would be in their interest to make the race hard, eh?

Hmmm, seems to be a big fight for the breakaway as expected. Sad, that there are no live images..

cleanup on aisle 5!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I demand a Supermercados Froiz in the Galician stages and an Eroski next time they're in País Vasco.

Meanwhile all the soigneurs are frantically scouring the pharmacy aisle to see what ointments, creams and tablets contain doping products and can be blamed if anything untoward should happen, Yannik Sinner/Therese Johaug style.

 

[meat puppet]

Good thing they don't finish in a supermarket. The ravenous, collective yet somehow disorganized heist of the candy aisle would not be pretty.

They need to go through Unipublic's ckeckout line first

Van Aert would probably mistake a random barcode for the finish line.

With prices like that I'm not surprised that they need a publicity stunt.
