'Dale Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 Nairo and Valverde really complicating it for other teams Soler waiting ahead Movistar magic
Rowl Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 O'Connor seems to be finding his 2018 legs!Followed online and saw him in the top 3 and when the coverage returned he was gone.
lechatnoir Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 glory-be... that stage was off the charts...
'Dale Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 It’s only stage 9 completed The pace ⚠️⚠️⚠️
Eldron Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Followed online and saw him in the top 3 and when the coverage returned he was gone. Yup. Ah well - better to be at the front and disappear then never to see the front I guess!
'Dale Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 Pogačar The youngest rider in the race, aged 20, wins the stage in his first Grand TourRemarkable performance
'Dale Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 Roggas limited the damage well.Kuss a steady partner. Movistar could not deliver a knock-out punch to the team in yellow Astana will be scratching their heads Again, the Vuelta. Crazy racing.Never a dull moment.

Vetplant Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Pogačar The youngest rider in the race, aged 20, wins the stage in his first Grand TourRemarkable performanceOur own resident "Secret Pro", Mr Wakefield, did make mention of him in recent days. Happy for the lad! Great Vuelta thus far. I had the sound off due to family commitments and thought for a couple of minutes the stage was called off due to the sudden thunderstorm, so no clue what happened to Roggas but he seemed to limit the damage nicely. That Movistar rider seemed seriously pissed that he had to sacrifice his stage victory to sit up and work for Quintana.

If they lose by minutes, Soler will have a hard time getting over this methinks.
dsw Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 If they win the tour by 5s,it would have been worth it. If they lose by minutes, Soler will have a hard time getting over this methinks. I have no doubt that it was the right call at the time . For Movistar it is all about the overall GC at this stage and they cannot make compromises as every second counts (like you pointed out).
