Vuelta a España 2020

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.

If you wanna check Strava segment details ... there is this one:

 

https://www.strava.com/segments/24879242

 

(Strava URL deleted, search for segment “Ezaro 2021”).

 

KOM is about 7min 30secs.

 

There is another segment “Ezaro” (with the wrong profile reading though), but is the same Segment roughly and KOM is 7min 02 seconds.

 

So be prepared for explosive 7 minute espectacular climbs!

Luckily Valverde has those big silly brakes on his road bike, otherwise that thing looks VERY light

 

Edit :Vlasov rather

My Hail Mary is a poor effort from Carapaz and Carthy and a great effort from Martin. [emoji1317]

 

Unlikely I know, but hey...

This organised bike change spot is a proper sham.

 

A new bike must come from the car which must come from behind you. End.

"He's a very under-rated TT rider. I think the two top guys have a little bit more to worry about than they might know. I am cautiously optimistic that Hugh could pull off something really special in the time trial and then we will see from there."

What a redemption TT for the Slovenian

Fantastic grit. What a champion.

 

Big mover of the day, other than the winner, was the lanky Hugh Carthy.
