Vuelta Ciclista a Andalucia - Ruta del Sol 2023 (February 15-19)

[Landeirovic]

Big and strong breakaway:

1		2	MOHORIČ Matej	12:41
2		17	DOMBROWSKI Joe	20:19
3		32	GARCÍA CORTINA Iván	12:41
4		35	OLIVEIRA Nelson	2:41
5		42	COVI Alessandro	11:49
6		54	JUUL-JENSEN Christopher	12:41
7		87	AMEZQUETA Julen	6:08
8		93	BAIS Davide	11:49
9		106	FRISON Frederik	8:14
10		136	MATÉ Luis Ángel	4:43
11		161	VAN POUCKE Aaron	20:03
12		167	COLMAN Alex	11:49

Ineos and Intermarche not happy with it. Difference already over a minute...

If they don´t catch them now, I could see someone winning out of this group today..

Covi for the win

I have a feeling that the Belgium Pozatto is a little concerned regarding his precious July jersey.

This reflects my previous post about UAE - They will control the GC battle, while it's up to other teams to bring back the break.

 

[Earns1985]

Now a big wall: 2,1 km with 13,1 % is waiting for the riders.

Will we see action there?

 

[Lequack]

Landa attack!

 

[Salvarani]

Landa is in great form

 

[Salvarani]

POG!

 

[Lequack]

Pog didn't even want to attack today, Landa just got him excited.

 

[Salvarani]

Pog didn't even want to attack today, Landa just got him excited.

Looked like he slowed down a couple of times just so Landa wouldnt be dropped from his wheel.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Chasing group looking about, lot of shoulder shrugging going on, he isn't that far ahead as well the clowns.

 

[Lequack]

Will the break want to ride with Pog?

 

[Salvarani]

Mohoric attack on the descent?

 

[KZD]

Pogačar drops Landa. Let's see if the break his willing to work with him now that he catch them.

Edit: main GC riders together now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Will the break want to ride with Pog?

Anyone bar like five people, none of whom are here, who are willing to work with Pogacar on the way to this kind of finish need to grow a brain.

Anyone bar like five people, none of whom are here, who are willing to work with Pogacar on the way to a difficult uphill finish need to grow a brain.

Teuns and Rota can come into the top 10 of GC, the only who won't ride is Mohoric.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Pogacar came to this race last minute to escape remco and that decision has robbed Don Mikel Landa of a chance for GC ! #Freelanda

 

[Elos Anjos]

What a beast this kid is.

 

[Samamba]

2nd group isn't far

 

[Earns1985]

They are coming back!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Teuns and Rota can come into the top 10 of GC, the only who won't ride is Mohoric.

Time gained by riding with Pogacar < time gained on the final climb by saving energy, IMO.

Also, this regrouping makes it a bit more possible to try an attack for the stage win.

 

[Salvarani]

Coming back together

 

[Samamba]

Time gained by riding with Pogacar < time gained on the final climb by saving energy, IMO.

I disagree. You win more time in the non climby parts cause there won't be any cooperation behind. Teuns and Rota will be 6th and 7th if the gap grows.

Well doesn't matter now ofcourse cause Mohoric will just ride.

 

[Nick2413]

Isn’t Teuns as good as Pogacar on a finish like this

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mohoric doing Mohoric things.
