Vuelta a España 2020

[TheoG]

It was worth it, got the stage win.

 

Primoz owe Sep Kuss big time, hope he can deliver in the TT.  Luckily Pogacar is not there to spoil the party :-).

Sep's job to look after him.

Sep's job to look after him.

 

True, I just think there is a distinct possibility that Sep could have taken the stage, but as you say his job is his job.

Week 3 

All eyes on the Slovenian and the 'race of truth'. Tomorrow will be tense.

 

 

 

I love this little sting in the tail.

 

Its going to be a long 2kms if someone forgets to pace properly.

Sure!

 

And beware Ézaro is short but ... very steep!

 

Only 1,8km but sure we will see some riders put a foot on tarmac.

 

 

 

 

Yes, you read it well. 29%.

That is a nasty little climb indeed, going to make it very interesting.

Jeepers!

[Jewbacca]

For the capies, that is more than twice the elevation of chappies in 1/3rd the distance

And for the Pretoria peeps:

 

2.25x the length of Tom Jenkins

1.6x the gradient

=

EINA!

Suikerbossie the way the August tackles it, IE the 'steep' way, rises 126m in 1.86km... this thing 263m in the same distance.

 

Ow.

Week 3

I have think Roggas is taking the stage tomorrow.

 

Allot of introspection must have happened personally and collectively as a Team following the Amazing Pogacar performance on Stage 20 of the TDF.

 

He has a personal score to settle.

 

(and a certain whipper-snapper isn't racing, so it makes it a little bit easier)

Ow.

Ha! Exactly! And at the end of full gas ITT.

 

The GC contenders have had to deal with some serious ITTs this year. I like it

[Frosty]

And for the Vaalies, the climb from the car park, at the reserve, is 177m in 2.19Km.

 

At least Daryl has the KOM.

[The Ghost]

I have think Roggas is taking the stage tomorrow.

 

It’s going to be interesting for sure.

Roglic seems to be struggling when things get steeper than about 15%, in his favour is the long flat that he can TT on better than outright climbers.
