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

[Tim Cahill]

Mythical Mark should be Padun‘s nickname.

Pious Padun is his nickname, due to him giving thanks to his boy Jesus, after that classic Dauphine weekend.

Mark will return, like easter sunday, we just don't know when.

I know I've been critical of the wildcard teams in GTs a lot, but I have to give Caja credit for doing an underratedly good race so far. Barcelo 5th on stage 2, Aular 6th on stage 4, Gonzalez 7th on stage 5, and Cepeda, who was in the top-20 on Arinsal and is 16th on GC, in the break today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Why would they get 10min? They just don't need to go crazy in trying to catch them back. Just let them ride, give them time. Still enough people that will lower the gap to around 5min at the finish. Which I think isn't an issue for SQS.

7 minutes already, still think 10 minutes is impossible?

 

[cen]

I think we need a Roglic crash from all this craziness to bring things back to normal.

 

[Netserk]

Kuss asleep while the 3 others have a gap ...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ineos not joining in the breakaway fun and then pulling the peloton despite having nobody in the top-10 on GC. Such a *** team.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo pulling Soler clear.

Well they should have been in the breakaway with Bernal.

 

[Volderke]

So if this one stays away, we have Martinez, Soler, Kuss in top GC placings.

I wonder if an underdog can win this Vuelta.

 

[Samamba]

Not sure why Jumbo en FDJ don't just ride with 5 guys, control this break. Take as much time as you can.

Now they are, together with Total who have the perfect opportunity to get Cras in a position to top-10 in Madrid with half their team here.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know it's bad when the Grenadier Cycling Network is criticising Ineos.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah they absolutely should go all out and ride for Cras now.

Peloton chasing hard now too.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Admittedly I haven't been following cycling for as long or as closely as most of you, but I've never seen such a huge group(s) in the front this far into the stage while the actual peloton is apparently chilling far behind...

 

[Gigs_98]

Holy sh*t is it actually L'Aquila time?

 

[Netserk]

C. Pedersen and Varvaeke pulling for QS. Heiduk for Ineos. I'm not sure who the Movistar rider is.

Mostly Molard pulling the breakaway now.

One word.

L'Aquila.

Should be Oliveira for Movistar

 

[Rob5091]

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

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

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

 

[Berniece]

7 minutes already, still think 10 minutes is impossible?

I said specifically, at the finish. Yeah, I think it won't be 10min at the finish line.

 

[Riek s]

C. Pedersen and Varvaeke pulling for QS. Heiduk for Ineos. I'm not sure who the Movistar rider is.

Mostly Molard pulling the breakaway now.

Wasn't vervaeke in the front group?

 

[Peyroteo94]

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

 

[ice&fire]

After all the jokes of UAE chasing Soler, we get classic Movistar chasing Rubio

Ineos not joining in the breakaway fun and then pulling the peloton despite having nobody in the top-10 on GC. Such a *** team.

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