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

Peloton is tiny

Doesn't seem that tiny to me.

Also no one really riding.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

I don't think they will want to give Ben O'Connor much time ...

UAE are happy to make Red Bull work by sticking O'Connor of AG2R in the break. What are you even typing mate?

 

[noob]

There goes "I won't go in the break- Wout"

 

[Tim Cahill]

Just let Van Aert go lads

 

[noob]

Why would Bora bother with o Connor? How would he be an actual threat?

Why would Bora bother with o Connor? How would he be an actual threat?

no need to give a guy like that a head start when no-one else wants him up there either

surprised they are riding quite this hard this early mind with Lipowitz in front

Why would Bora bother with o Connor? How would he be an actual threat?

Well he has podiumed a GT in the past. Also Rodriguez from Ineos is in there, also a GC contender.

Cristian Rodriguez is not a GC contender.

I don't think they will want to give Ben O'Connor much time ... and Soler goes again

Well but then it's up to the other teams (you mentioned UAE) to work not Red Bull. As they have Lipowitz.

 

[search]

it's the Arkea-Rodriguez up the road, not Carlos.

And I guess Roglic would prefer to avoid running into a similar situation as last year. For him it's better if Lipo doesn't get any time.

 

[Lequack]

Cristian Rodriguez is not a GT contender.

Oh my bad, thought it was Carlos.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Soler and Lipo ?

What tactics playbook do they read

 

[Heston]

Team Roglic not happy with the prospect of Lipowitz getting the red jersey

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Roglic literally has trauma from last year where the Vuelta was won because of a breakaway getting time on stage 6

There no way they let a second tier GC hope get minutes

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Roglic getting PTSD from a 23 year old biathlete is really funny to me.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

They should let Movistar chase O Connor

I mean they will be in 2 weeks anyway for 6th place for Quintana so might as well start now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Super-rouleur Giovanni Aleotti will now control this break for 80 kilometers.

 

[Red Lobster]

Team Roglic not happy with the prospect of Lipowitz getting the red jersey

Yeah, I'm guessing that Primoz is having trouble staying calm at the moment. PTSD.

 

[Gargamel35]

Roglic getting PTSS from a 23 year old biathlete is really funny to me.

Well, isn't Roglič a team leader, he can easily say to DS for Lipowitz to drop from the group.

 

[noob]

Just being cautious. He was top 5 in the Giro

no need to give a guy like that a head start when no-one else wants him up there either

surprised they are riding quite this hard this early mind with Lipowitz in front

Well he has podiumed a GT in the past. Also Rodriguez from Ineos is in there, also a GC contender.

OMG I had no idea he was actually that good in the giro. Nothing were tempting me about the giro with Pog so I skipped it.

 

[Faserr]

Bora just rides a steady tempo. They don't wann Catcher the break.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

So Sepp not buying 'the old pain in the back' Roglic is spouting

 

[ice&fire]

They should let Movistar chase O Connor

I mean they will be in 2 weeks anyway for 6th place for Quintana so might as well start now

Movistar won't chase. They have their best rider in the break.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bora just rides a steady tempo. They don't wann Catcher the break.

They also physically can‘t catch the break unless they want to isolate Roglič today.

 

[noob]

OMG the surroundings today is quite interesting!
