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

[Devil's Elbow]

See you in 10 years for the next time Unipublic do a descent finish.

 

[JosefK]

O'Connor puts time into Roglic.

 

[Netserk]

Did Adam also had Covid when he lost that much time? He’ll fly to GC victory if he recovered here.

Mas back with the others.

No, he has only suffered from heat and a crash so far. He did have covid in the Tour, but not here.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mas should have attacked along with Carapaz. I immediately thought and wrote that as well, but oh well...

 

[Miha81]

What a stage. 2nd consecutive. Give me more, please.

 

[AmRacer]

3.45 only, not so much time back

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz had the instincts to realise none of them really had it so early in the stage

 

[kingjr]

Roglic can't even outsprint O'Connor and Landa, what a fraud.

He was right on his wheel, too, either no legs or brain failure.

 

[Ripper]

Hugely entertaining racing going on.

That finish was very unroglic of roglic

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He was right on his wheel, too, either no legs or brain failure.

It's not impossible that no one told him they were sprinting for 3rd.

 

[Netserk]

Chapeau, Yates!
Chapeau, UAE!
Chapeau, Carapaz!
Chapeau, EF!
Chapeau, Mas! (Better luck next time)
Chapeau, O'Connor!

Would be great if BOC can hold on by seconds to win the vuelta

 

[JosefK]

That finish was very unroglic of roglic

I think he's not recovered from his TDF crash.

 

[kingjr]

Hugely entertaining racing going on.

#vueltadelivers

Yeah, some decidedly 2nd tier trash racing going on here.

 

[Sciatic]

Great ride from Carapaz—turned out to be a futile chase for the stage win, but in doing so injected himself right back into the GC battle.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Rackham]

I think it's well established by now that Rog doesn't like sprinting on the flat in a reduced bunch like that. Those aren't the bonis he usually goes for.

 

[memyselfandI]

Bold move from Ben O'C taking the Niewiadoma-bonus of the day.

 

[Brullnux]

He was right on his wheel, too, either no legs or brain failure.

Clearly no legs

 

[Ripper]

He was right on his wheel, too, either no legs or brain failure.

Well, when Roglic lacks the legs, the brains often follow

 

[Mayomaniac]

Carapaz had the instincts to realise none of them really had it so early in the stage

The guy has a Nibali/Kwaitkowski level ability of reading a race. When he smells blood and he has decent legs he goes for it.

 

[MLKarlos]

I think it’s the coolest GT of the year so far

 

[Brullnux]

The guy has a Nibali/Kwaitkowski level ability of reading a race. When he smells blood and he has decent legs he goes for it.

Also when he has bad legs!

Roglic not worried about the time bonus ? Good comeback by O'Connor. Great win by Yates and good time pick up by Carapz. . Not so good for Mas after working hard.
