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

No team is really good this race

Plus most riders are inconsistent in some way

Its like anything can and will happen

Boro needs to bring Yates back a bit

 

[will-10]

Adam smoking Carapaz, Red Bull still trying to save guys and get Lipowitz to the top

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Mate, Yates is flying.

 

[Poursuivant]

Yates exorcising the ghost of his brother on the Finestre

 

[AnotherArmChair]

He has to keep that gap on the descent on the 2nd time up the climb when BORA will be going faster.

Bora ?

Dont you mean Roglic ( who will have to do it himself if he can)

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Is GPS lying or is Yates on a mission?

Don't know how trustworthy PCS is but Yates does appear to be on a mission, gained 40 secs on the next group.

 

[ciranda]

lipowitz, vlasov, roglic
o connor, gall, mas, landa, rodriguez arkea, kuss
sivakov, skjelmose, del toro, van eetvelt
fortunato, bennett, woods, martin

 

[Sciatic]

Fact that there are riders coming back in peloton says a lot.

It’s it’s not happenin’ till the 2nd ascent

 

[Sciatic]

Bora ?

Dont you mean Roglic ( who will have to do it himself if he can)

Unless he’s not well, I expect Vlasov to drive it from the bottom.

Good. GC situation could be quite interesting after this stage

 

[Netserk]

Lipo and Vlasov are not exactly the best doms to drill the descent.

 

[Samamba]

It’s it’s not happenin’ till the 2nd ascent

There's maybe 5 GC riders than can go faster right now.

 

[Potomac]

Carapaz +1'43" at the summit

Yates will win the stage

 

[Poursuivant]

Carapaz to take red today, O’Connor to crack

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Lipowitz is cooking Vlasov it seems. Man is grinning all over the place.

 

[Netserk]

Mate, Yates is flying.

Crazy to allow him a huge advantage in a big break today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yates and Carapaz will ride themselves into GC today. Great stuff

 

[memyselfandI]

I think the Wout episode cost Sepp way too much.

Possibly. Just made myself home from a ride, it looks like Yatesy is taking care of the show and parcours. Another state of the art high mountain goat, there he goes.

 

[Rob5091]

Castrillo with a good ride today.

 

[Netserk]

Unless he’s not well, I expect Vlasov to drive it from the bottom.

Vlasov has to drill it before that.

 

[Andre]

Van Eetvelt has to do all this without a team-mate? Chapeau!

 

[Gratemans]

Lol, what is it with people feeling the need to call the race when they still have to climb the exact same mountain another time? And descend it two times?

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Peloton riding 5 wide in the peloton, lmao. What the hell are they doing?

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Whatever about O Connor but I would never let Yates back into GC

 

[Samamba]

Van Eetvelt has to do all this without a team-mate? Chapeau!

He had Sepulveda and Gregaard (who came from the break) with him till like 1km into last climb. It's not like there are a lot of doms left in that group.
