11th on GC 2020 Vuelta and a 2nd on stage 12

That's why he's on my list of a top 10 finisher.

Aggeno Landa????

[Gen]

Too much chaos????

['Dale]

I think that it is Nizzolo's ELEVENTH 'consecutive' 2nd position.

A record or something. 

Ai, Landa. What a blow for Bahrain Victorious. 

[Gen]

Sjoe Ewan Squeezed through that little gap next to Merlier.. ..some angry text messages may follow ????

[Baldrick]

That wasn't fun to watch.

that signal marshall took quite a shot and took a while to get up as well. It must be so disappointing for those riders to plan and train so hard to have it all vanish in a split second

[BuffsVintageBikes]

That's a harsh blow for Landa, just when he seemed to be coming into some great form as well.

I see Sivakov has a suspected clavicle fracture too.

jeez, those final km were not nice at all

Again the final finishing needs to be looked at, some towns get it right others need assistance with external input. Oh well just shows even the best trains can break down now and then no matter how hard you practice.

Question to all those watching the Race on their phones via GCN+

Do you guys also seem to notice a timing issue between the Video and Audio towards the end of the stage?

The Audio clearly lags by about 5 seconds.

You see the crash and then it takes the commentators an age to react.

Or you see them cross the finish line and the commentators are still talking about Ewan being boxed-in.

Anyone else?

European towns and their roads are full of traffic “calming” and pedestrian “islands” which are not suitable for high speed pelotons 

They need to come up with a better way to warn riders in the peloton, the marshals with whistles is a good way but perhaps they need to have 2 marshals, one blows the whistle the whole time and the other waves the flag, at every piece of street furniture not just a select few.

Dombrowksi out with concussion.

[Vetplant]

Riders rolling in the Neutral Zone.

Might see a good fight for the break again today.

Cat 2, Cat 3 then finish is a Cat 2.

3400m over 160kms, currently dry on the roads.
