Of course the most boring rider in the history of cycling will win this Vuelta in the most boring way .
Big Mig, Froome, Wiggins, Thomas to name a few. The Granon stage is one of the best stages I've ever seen, and the way Vingegaard raced was a big factor.

What's happened to Tiberi today?

Other notions...

Vervaeke learned his lesson today - he took care of losing enough time to be let to compete for mountain points here on...

Gaudu doesn't have any high mountain legs. Lost 15 minutes.

Well, now the Vuelta route looks even more like a horrifying trainwreck. Traeen has a really good chance of staying in red until Angliru.

I don't know why you're laughing. A team like UAE has to win the GT, not stages at the Giro and Vuelta.

I'd prefer Simon Yates' Giro than two stages that UAE won.

Last year they won three stages at the Vuelta, but Kuss has one GT and Almeida and Ayuso none.

For a big team, it's more important to win GTs than to win stages in consented breakaways.

Ayuso's performance is especially disappointing. A stage win is fine, but for someone who aspires to win a GT, win a stage against Marco Frigo because the peloton allows him, it's a failure.

The first 11 riders finished within his current 2:33 margin on Angliru in both 2020 and 2023. I think the odds of him keeping red there are way higher than those of losing it on an earlier stage.

I get he's making a point. But kind of sad (just to me) to celebrate what would be a big win for most riders with a show of spite.
Me as well on that. It says a bit about a rider's maturity when they try to make some 'point' that will be lost on many (and more in time) than just the joy of winning

I think we all lost a lot more time watching that

Nevermind I thought I saw him the first group behind the GC guys.
I thought exactly the same. But it was Buitrago and only Buitrago for Bahrain.

Now, if Tiberi ain't sick and has team morale up he could be a valuable domestique for Traeen.

And outside Vingo-Ciccone-Almeida I haven't seen anyone being strong enough to look likely to make serious damage to Norwegian Under the Sign of Cancer. He is in running for at least 4th overall. 3rd given how Ciccone never manages to finish GC in one piece.
