The fact that no UAE rider is in thebreakaway indicates that the stage will be by GC riders.

Visma is trying to win this stage

Those protests are starting to get out of the hand by producing these kind of winds!

Don't understand why people worry the strong wind. There has been a strong tailwind on every mtf for the last 3 years !!!!

Last 5 years. We have the times to prove it!

.....
For these reasons, I am not going to devote that time anymore so long as things are the way they are. I had this post fully finished, so I figured I might as well post it, but that will be that for now. If I don't have to worry about 100% cycling-related posts getting deleted anymore - whether that is on a Cyclingnews Forum where the admins have changed course, or on a different forum entirely - I might return to making these posts. But as things stand, it's over, and writing that does not make me feel defiant, but deflated.
....

Everything is turning to crap.

For everybody, who is bored by this vuelta and all the protest and who want to really enjoy cycling again!

In Toscana right, there is currently a replay of the best cycling day of the year.
del Toro against Carapaz!

 

[Peyroteo94]

Protests are still possible. If they cancel this stage, I'm done with this race.

Just got Simon Yates running toward me in the supermarket telling me to hold his beer.

Another stage start in a supermarket?

So we can expect a full UAE train for the climb today as no one's in the break. Could be amusing to see if Ayuso partakes.

I’m impressed he’s still in the race. Ah, for the days when diva riders were the distraction….

I actually expect UAE to simply pray for a miracle in the TT.

One more incident and that could be it for this year's Vuelta -

“The riders voted by a majority to stop in case of a new problem. They will then decide whether to continue or to end the event,” the CPA’s vice president, Pascal Chanteur, said

CPA seems to be anti-cycling every time I see them do anything

It's understandable but still a bummer if it comes to this but, this Vuelta is already memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Imagine yesterday's break not even being able to race for the stage, albeit under whacky circumstances. That would be a lot worse.

 

[Sciatic]

Hard pace before start of climb hopefully means some real action on the climb itself. Red Bull vs. Pidcock by his lonesome

ed. Cycling action

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow, that's insanely narrow.
