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

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.

3 minutes is the ITT plus one mountain stage at most. The only threat of Kuss then is basically full breakaway mercantilism

So will Roglic pull for Vingegaard, if Gesink and Kelderman are dropped behind and someone attacks.

 

[noob]

If I was QS I wouldn't chase too hard as that's exactly why Kuss is up there. Don't take the bait.

 

[Escarabajo]

I am late to the race. How did they let this break go? do they consider all those riders non-threats?

Nobody knows because there were no live images.

 

[Angelo1985]

If Landa finds his form, he is the biggest threat for me.

Or correct updates....

Gap coming down fast right now

Apparently Remco was yesterday inviting riders to go on the break to take red away from him and the thing got viral.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

49km to go and peloton actually swiftly gaining time now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Gap coming down fast right now

How much do we trust the Vuelta GPS though?

Yeah and I don't know if this was so clever...

 

[Riek s]

gap has been all over the place, probably best to time it yourself at the intermediate sprint.

Are they racing in darkness again?

 

[Volderke]

All the talk about Kuss when Jumbo are very far from guaranteed a win (or even a good GC standing in Madrid) with Soler and Martinez there as well.

It could actually be a bad thing for Jumbo to have Kuss high up in the ranks, impeding attacks / initiative by e.g. Vingegaard.

 

[Rob5091]

Race center has him in the break but not PCS.

PCS is wrong - he's in the break.

 

[Ripper]

Yeah and I don't know if this was so clever...

This stage had anarchy written all over it ahead of time. A team cannot fully control a start like today's. And the break composition is not so bad for SQS

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah if it continues like this the break will barely even take red.

 

[Red Rick]

Gap falling off a cliff while the peloton isnt shown for half a year

 

[Earns1985]

Gap is coming down now.. Other riders in the break should also start to collaborate..

 

[Potomac]

Movistar.....stop it.

 

[Ripper]

Movistar.....stop it.

They can't. Landa is in the break

 

[ice&fire]

Movistar.....stop it.

It's a lost cause. Chente is their brain today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

4th time I've heard Carlton mention Geoffrey Soupe today, in a broadcast of a mountain stage that has only been on for about an hour.

 

[Potomac]

They can't. Landa is in the break

stop chasing Landa, set him free
