Vuelta a España Vuelta a España, stage 6: La Vall d'Uixó - Pico del Buitre, 183.1k

[Netserk]

Wasn't vervaeke in the front group?

Yes. I must have mistakenly thought it was number 8 who pulled the peloton.

 

[Rob5091]

When Ganna comes to the front of the peloton he'll pull back the break - wait for the fireworks!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kuss is not going to win more than 3 minutes today. He loses that in the TT alone

same with Landa

 

[Volderke]

from 7 to 6 minutes in 10 kms.
So they will get caught with 10K to go.

The peloton will pass them and the breakaway will look away in shame for undertaking such a senseless endeavour.
They will all be dropped and 10 minutes down.

 

[Rob5091]

Jumbo playing a risky game with Roglic & Vingegaard with only Gesink & Kelderman who's already crashed to help.

I lie - Gesink is up there too!

 

[Netserk]

I lie - Gesink is up there too!

No.

 

[noob]

I just wished Kuss or Soler in red as it would just be so fun. Especially Kuss.

 

[stekelegel]

if u listen to cycling media they will have Remco, so why not pull?

If he loses the vuelta today to kuss, martinez or any other scenario, he is for sure going to Ineos.

 

[Berflamand]

Kuss taking the red jersey today (as long as it isn't with multiple minutes) would probably a good thing for SQS no?

It forces Jumbo to control the race and to make a choice if they keep using him as a superdomestique or as a legitimate GC candidate.

Same with Soler for UAE.

Martinez is the wildcard, no idea how far he can go in his first GT but he should lose already quite a lot in the TT I suppose.

This is noob analysis too. Epic for the race overall.

Yes, but the question is how much minutes it will be. 2-3 is ok i think. 5 or more becomes very very dificult. (Kuss will probably be the best on Angrilu if he can ride for himself and the 3rd GT doesn't affect him)

 

[stekelegel]

Imagine Vinge, Roglic, Almeida, Ayuso playing superdomestique

 

[Peyroteo94]

It would be hilarious to see Kuss winning the Vuelta after doing 2 GT's this year.

 

[Potomac]

LMAO at any one pulling other than SQS

 

[Gargamel35]

It would be hilarious to see Kuss winning the Vuelta after doing 2 GT's this year.

It would be a fantastic thank you by both JV captains.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

How the hell have Ineos missed this break, laughable team.

Castroviejo is there. Can't argue with the rest

 

[Rob5091]

No.

Race center has him in the break but I see on the TV that he's still in the peloton.

 

[Earns1985]

So who will be in red after the stage?
Should be between Martinez, Kuss and Soler.
Taking into account the first MTF Martinez is favourite for this I would say..

 

[Rob5091]

Castroviejo is there. Can't argue with the rest

Race center has him in the break but not PCS.

I think Kuss taking it by multiple minutes would be even better. As long as we are talking about 3 minutes and not of something like 7 minutes. But man it's not like there is an obvious outcome for anyone here. This is on a knives edge for everyone involved.

 

[Divergence]

What an awful tactic by Jumbo. Who is helping Rog and Vinge behind?
Just put 7 people around Rog and win this Vuelta on easy mode...

 

[SafeBet]

Are you guys telling me that, after so many years, my fuga bidone alert has finally popped up for a reason?

 

[Blanco]

So it's Lenny vs Kuss for the overall.

 

[Gargamel35]

Vinge is having stomach issues and is not in great form. Roglič crashed and maybe also isn't in good form right now, so they play a Kuss card.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

One word.

L'Aquila.

I'm googling it as we speak, or actually when yet another commercial is on...

I take it it's about this stage? ('Twas a little before my time)
