kiddy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Vuelta starting with a TTT*. Can only imagine that'll slew the GC in favour of JV/Roglic.*I love TTT's, & they're a great spectacle for the public to watch, but should only be run as a stand alone stage in major races; with an overall prize over a season. They can have a devastating effect on genuine GC contenders aspirations. At least its the first stage, It becomes even more of a farce when its a week or so in and teams have already lost riders to crashes etc so getting the numbers over the line to stop the clock is even more of a challengeGC contenders times to JV/Roglic.Ineos/Carapaz @ 13 secsQuick Step/Remco, 14.Bike Exch/Yates, 31.UAE/Almeida, 33.Bora/Hindley, 41.Trek/42Bahrain/42Movistar/43EF/1.19Arkea/1.25 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Delighted for Marc Soler managing to stay away solo after the final climb to win the stage. One of the guys on the Movistar doc who didn't seem to be an utter c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame for Vine, from out of the Zwift Academy for a first GT win & nobody saw it. Roglic showing a chink in the armour & his JV team was nowhere to be seen. Remco in red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Noticable that Carapaz was left to fend for himself. Sivakov, TGH &, more importantly, Carlos Rodriguez finished together & sit within 1.34 of red. A look to the future of Ineos? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Sivakov would surprise in this race having some recent winning form.. Depends who is the favourite Ineos son.. not a Evenepoel fan... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Denny Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Fred Wright... will he get a stage win? These lads riding the Vuelta may be pros but another tremendous show of emotion from Jesus Herrada today.... It really means that much to win a stage.... tomorrow's stage looks tasty... final hill is 10.3 kms at an average of 7.9... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly wouldn't be where my money is going. I clearly know absolutely nothing. However, I’m still expect him to have a bad day at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Another show of strength from Evenepoel today. Big tests ahead but he's built himself a really decent buffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just nearing halfway through, a long way to go yet. Looks like Remco started in form, can he hold it. Whilst Roglic is trying to gain it, heading into the 3rd week.Another show of strength from Evenepoel today. Big tests ahead but he's built himself a really decent buffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
