Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2024, stage 9: Motril - Granada, 179.2k

[QueenStagiaire]

Wait, what? They are looking really good. Aleotti, Martinez, Vlasov, Lipo, Rogla. Best team in the race.

Martinez is working 85k out and still bleeding time. It‘s true that there‘s no team that could strangle the race, though.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Dani Martinez back to his inconsistent best

 

[Netserk]

This just looks like short initial surge shedding grupetto and nothing else before steady pace

Yeah, the don't have the man-power to go full throttle. Good for Yates.

 

[Lequack]

How could've Martinet finish 2nd in the Giro this year.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I think Mas should have tried to join Carapaz and see what would be up.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Carapaz give me strange vibes. How can someone be so smart sometimes and so dumb other times?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Dani Martinez back to his inconsistent best

He‘s consistently out of shape this race.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

I think Mas should have tried to join Carapaz and see what would be up.

Expecting and/or hoping Menos would move a muscle nearly 90 kilometers from the finish seems rather optimistic.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Team Soler putting both groups on the rack, problem is how long is left

 

[slim charles]

Not convinced what Carapaz is doing is smart, but then again, after seeing how O'Connor benefited from being ahead maybe he's hoping the peloton is even dumber

 

[Samu Cuenca]

How could've Martinet finish 2nd in the Giro this year.

By being faster than all other riders except for one. But he is looking more like Higuita at the moment.

 

[KZD]

Soler on a days like these is one of the best domestiques in the world.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz 2 minutes ahead of the peloton with James Shaw

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Danni Martinez was not supposed to be at this race so he didnt come with shape

Not sure why people are asking about his ability

 

[Lequack]

Carapaz 2 minutes ahead of the peloton with James Shaw

Can he pull a Carapaz when he won the giro?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Expecting and/or hoping Menos would move a muscle nearly 90 kilometers from the finish seems rather optimistic.

You're funny

 

[Peyroteo94]

Expecting and/or hoping Menos would move a muscle nearly 90 kilometers from the finish seems rather optimistic.

Don't know why but I laughed pretty hard.

Angliru puncheur finish confirmed

He was super last year at Angliru, but he is still better compared to the rest at the ITT, Last year is not a good reference, becouse was Visma and no rivals. Vin gegaard wanst at his best and he didnt attack clearly for respect to Kuss.

This year Landa is clearly better and Mas is the best version maybe just watched once on the Tour and when he is second at Lombardia.

The other toime he climbed Angliru, he lost time with Carapaz and Mas, anbd he pout them important time on the ITT. he could be the best climber of the race, bur he is not a pure climber, and relatively to the others, he is very good for stages like yesterday, but no stage as today. anyway if Bora set the tempo and 10 riders go at the last parto of the last climb, he is the big favourite. Mas shoul attack him from the firts climb to Hazallanas to make him pain. and Roglic could recover time on thge descent, it is a descent for ITT riders.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Some greenery, but the scenery looks a lot more yellow and dry today. Looks very hot! (Mandatory scenery comment.)

 

[Netserk]

Presmuably they're gonna do Hazallanas #1 a bit faster.

The problem is the part from the top of #1 to the start of #2.

 

[Netserk]

Excellent move by Carapaz, and it shows the importance of riders up the road (I'm looking at you RedBull). He needs to gamble, and this is the kind that can pay off.

 

[Netserk]

You're gonna want 2 doms still medium rare by the top of Hazallanas I'd say. Also don't need to completely rip the lead in, but you do wanna blast the first section of the real thing.

The ideal scenario is Mas attacking and bridging up to Oliviera on the top.
