Vetplant Posted September 4, 2022 Share Meintjies in a good place position on the road. Could make big moves on GC. Top 3 finish on the stage is within reach.

'Dale Posted September 4, 2022 Share Thymen Arensman, heading to the highest budget team next year, takes his first win after Marc Soler ran out of gas up this mighty mountain. Another good defence by the red jersey as many thought, including myself, he would capitulate after yesterday’s performance. It’ll be a suspenseful final week, hey.

Vetplant Posted September 4, 2022 Share Louis suddenly a good bet to achieve back-to-back GC top 10s in Grand tours! Enough climbing left for him to take the required 5s on Hindley or for someone else in the GC battle to blow up unexpectedly. GO LOUIS!

Yes there are some riders that are doing the Vuelta after doing the TDF this year. They are: DEGENKOLB John DURBRIDGE Luke FROOME Chris JUNGELS Bob KIRSCH Alex KUSS Sepp LUTSENKO Alexey MAS Enric MCNULTY Brandon MEINTJES Louis MÜHLBERGER Gregor O'CONNOR Ben OLIVEIRA Nelson OWSIAN Łukasz PEDERSEN Mads PINOT Thibaut ROGLIČ Primož SÁNCHEZ Luis León SOLER Marc URÁN Rigoberto VAN BAARLE Dylan VAN POPPEL Danny VERONA Carlos WOODS Michael WRIGHT Fred Disclaimer: This is only the list of the ones that were on the startlists for both events. I'm not going to go through the list to see who stands to complete both this year. I know Roglic didn't finish TDF, so there are bound to be more like him.

lechatnoir Posted September 7, 2022 Share Ai, poor old Rog. He looked quite beat up at the end yesterday. Daniel Friebe had a look where he crashed and it looked like a lump of plasticene.

What happened to them? it wasn't pancake flat at all. After the intermediate sprint, the bunch caught a 2-man break and crested a decent climb, then inside the last 3km Rog attacked and 4 guys went with him. Then Remco punctured. This invoked the 3km rule, then in the final sprint, Rog crashed and got the same time as the winner, Pedersen, while Remco got the time of the bunch, 8s behind. Rog looked like a dazed pavement crayon. It was eina just to see the image. Anyway, questions were raised as to how punctured Remco's puncture was. Afterwards, he said he's not the type to fake a puncture and actually had eyed a stage win.

Just saw it was not flat but also not a mountain stage, hence I didn't expect Primoz to take any time, but then he actually did !!! At what penalty, we have to wait and see, he looked VERY eina. lechatnoir 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/192179-vuelta-2022/page/7/#findComment-3888820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
