~Our philosophy is for everyone to sacrifice themselves for the team, and to have the defending winner pull for me.

Lipovitz lost time and dropped off the podium places

 

[Samu Cuenca]

no-one predicted Wout winning a sprint from a small group?

No, everyone expected him to finish second.

Do I have a delay, or a you a time traveller?

If you are watching on Eurosport/D+/Max and only saw the interview with Van Aert after my post, you have a delay.

I'm watching on TV2...

Cian meltdown, not even top-85.

Maybe they just showed the interview later than Eurosport did.

Slosloslo.

A Red Bull helmet won, that's all that matters. 😁

Chapeau VWA. Rode a controlled race with limited team support in the final, except for Kuss.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Dearest forum members, hear me, hear me now. For I would hereby like to officially apologise to the Vuelta and all its riders. In an unprecedented amount of time this is shaping up to be the race of the decade, filled with drama, tactical blunders and brain farts. If they keep this up, we are looking at an all-timer of a race. Therefore, this image is very much appropriate.

 

[Sciatic]

The only reasonable explanation for the team tactics we’ve seen is that Kasia and Taylor offloaded their supply to several DS’s who have made liberal use of it in the team cars during the race.

And now TV2 is interviewing Pedersen sitting in an ice bath.

No rubber duck.

 

[Sciatic]

Shows how much they trust in him.

He and they know he’s not going to win this Vuelta.

 

[Sciatic]

WVA needs to thank Kuss for the win

He gave Sepp fulsome praise in the post-race interview.

 

[jmdirt]

WOUT!

Kuss beast!

 

[Unchained]

He gave Sepp fulsome praise in the post-race interview.

He made mention that Kuss at 60 kilos was really laying it down on the flats, not bad for a skinny climber!! And his comments, compliments about teamwork and sacrifice have to have Kuss feeling all is not a total loss. Great work..
Soler off the front, some work from Yates to have a bit of control.. Solar caught Siv attack and in the end UAE gets nothing despite multiple guys making the selection including Del Toro that was top UAE finisher.. Bora boring output!! Australian riding really intelligent..

Stop ogling

WOUT!

Kuss beast!

Just did interview in Spanish, splashed praise for Wout!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vlasov and Sivakov are 1 second apart on GC.....

No rubber duck.

Were there any rubber daleks?

 

[Bolder]

Ironically this might make Kuss better as the race goes on...he seems to need to suffer to step up

If only he'd had today's form on stage 4...

 

[KZD]

Van Aert was quite smart in keeping the Vuelta in his schedule after the Tour, this way he is grabbing a couple of wins to regain confidence. Kuss did a great job to set him up.

Vacek with another nice result for Lidl and Pau Miquel keeps impressing.

I like the structure w 2 not easy days before the rest day.. And lots more climbing and potential upside for Kuss and others. O'Connor will have to scramble for support for 2 weeks more..sort of nice seeing a different team leading.
I love directors from Kern Pharma and Euskaltel sending a guy every day!! They are both riding great, getting lots and lots of TV time!!
