Vuelta a España Vuelta España 2023 stage 10, Valladolid - Valladolid 25.6km ITT

Any chance of a mud slide so it gets shortened by 20k?

At this point even extreme sunshine could result in a neutralized stage...............

Imagine El Patron's reaction!

so its gonna be good weather today, 30 a 31°c and barely any wind.

Look for any turn that might blind for a second any rider and could result in times being taken on the first split.

In other words, some will complain about the heat.

He likely won't complain about it, but Ganna has a history of underperforming in hot weather.
I think Remco has the edge for the stage win.

 

[dobrien]

Oh to inhabit this world, if only briefly!

 

[Volderke]

no olive trees, no bikes, not even mudslides?

 

[Jan the Man]

Tough to see past Remco. On a course like this Top Ganna is the only realistic contender if everybod stays upright and without mechanicals.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sounds like they should move it to the evening to avoid the heat. What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone else hear the sound of paint being scraped of a bike?

Why would they do that, there is almost no climbing in this TT.

Remco doing his final recon in his rainbow jersey as we speak . This should bring him some extra watts as per his comments yesterday .

Really looking forward to this one . Ganna vs Evenepoel or will there be an outsider who spoils the party ? I am mainly looking at Ayuso who has proven to have a great TT during Tour of Suisse .

Ganna yesterday didn't feel like doing a recon, so he stayed in the hotel and only Knees went to visit the course. There was another opportunity today of course, but it sounds like he is a bit tired.

 

[Aimar16]

What is it? Shanghai under drone attack?

 

[Lequack]

 

[Didier_Bel]

Completely new and fully customized bike apparently . They call this the "TT Machine" in Belgian media .

Remco has never ridden this bike before but he "should be good" as he "adapts quite easily to new things" .

 

[Volderke]

I'm sure he has ridden the exact same model and components before, unless you're suggesting this is a new model of the Shiv?
As long as the mechanic has done a decent job with gears, brakes and wheels, it shouldn't feel any different besides reflecting a bit more sunlight on those shiny white tubes.

Javier Romo, who had a great vuelta burgos, will not start today stage 10

I would like Ayuso to do great but the TTs that he won in the Tour of Romandie and Switzerland were both hilly ones, in the flat prologues there, he was solid but nothing extrordinary. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses a few seconds to his teammate Almeida, a rider that have already proven to have a very good flat TT.

My prediction is Remco to beat Ganna by 5-10 seconds, Roglič to lose 30, Almeida and Vingegård to lose 40, Ayuso to lose 47, Mas to lose 1:15min and Kuss to lose 1:40min.

Hij reed er nooit eerder mee: de tijdritmachine van 20.000 (!) euro waarmee Evenepoel straks gooi doet naar winst in Vuelta

Hij oogt indrukwekkend op foto en we kunnen u verzekeren: hij ís het ook in werkelijkheid. Maak kennis met de gloednieuwe, hagelwitte tijdritfiets met regenboogtouch, waarmee wereldkampioen Remco Evenepoel (23) straks indruk wil maken in de individuele chronorace van de Vuelta. Winkelwaarde: om...

Remco is the "TT Machine" the bike is just an accessory
