Vuelta a San Juan 2023 (January 22-29)

[Red Rick]

Altitude? Seriously?

In 2020 when Evenepoel won super the GC climber Filippo Ganna finished 4s down from the winner of the stage

Today is rest day or what?

Wtf this is the lamest thing I can remember.

Ganna is actually pretty good on this kind of 4-5% tempogrinders, but unless someone goes for Najar tomorrow I don't expect big gaps (climbing wise, crosswinds might do some damage).

For the rest of the season, everytime someone complains about a race, being it the parcours, the tv production, the organisation, you name it...remember the Vuelta San Juan back in january.

Taking the mantle away from UAE Tour at last.

I kinda like the rest day. As a spectator, you can forget about the past stages, and start with new hopes again tomorrow.

Not sure you understand what the word altitude means.

Not sure if you're accidentally or deliberately missing my point.

Didn't know you make points.

Wow. I was pretty excited for the mountain stage and noticed now the rest day. Okay, four flat stages seem to much for professional bike riders. They obviously need rest. It's hard conditions with the heat but come on...

You learn something every day

Why are you guys even watching this race apart from the last 10 km of the mountain stage. This is god awful, and its pretty pointless to complain about the race not being that interesting after looking at the route.. every body and their goddamn mom and their dumbass neighbors would know that you cannot expect anything on a route like this

What else am I going to do on a weekday after work? Spend time with my relatives?!

Malbec and beef it is!

I like sprints and it's a decent field. So there's that. Even with the camera outages I get the finish line hard lined shot. LOL. Yeah it's rough.

The rest day was much needed as it’s been exhausting enduring all these flat stages for tomorrow’s mountain stage.

 

[perico]

Though I’m not his biggest fan, I think tomorrow will be Superman’s time to fly…

Although I’m definitely pulling for Sevilla to shock the world. Now if only he could convince his buddy Paco Mancebo that they should team up again for old time’s sake. At least get Mancebo to race in the western hemisphere.

Big words from someone who once got an article about two sprinters published (or maybe you can't use the word "published" if it's on a cycling website?).

 

[CyclistAbi]

It depends in what shape Bernal is in. The duo Bernal- Martínez ought to try something. López more or less has to perform good. Evenepoel on paper the one to beat. And some other cyclists involved. Capable of a surprise. Rest day likely being beneficial in regards to potential action.

Things could go down (hill).

 

[Faserr]

There are a lot of good climbers in this year. Do you really think they can drop each other on this slopes? Perhaps Evenepoel if he somehow manges to get a gap. He will never been seen again then...
I think Higuita has a good chance.

 

[CyclistAbi]

On why we watch this race. As a courtesy to Logic. We don't leave our own behind.

 

[Escarabajo]

This race is Superman's target for the year. LOL. He won't get another chance to compete with this caliber of WT riders. he better perform here.

I know it's January, but you simply cannot design a stage race with 4 flat stages, a rest day, a mountain top stage that's like 18 km at 4 percent, more or less, then two more flat stages. It would be comical if it weren't so tragic.
