GC after stage 19: 1 Roglič Primož Team Jumbo-Visma 2 Valverde Alejandro Movistar Team +2:50 3 Quintana Nairo Movistar Team +3:31 4 López Miguel Ángel Astana Pro Team +4:17 5 Pogačar Tadej UAE-Team Emirates +4:49 6 Majka Rafał BORA - hansgrohe +7:46 7 Kelderman Wilco Team Sunweb +9:46 8 Hagen Carl Fredrik Lotto Soudal +11:50 9 Knox James Deceuninck - Quick Step +13:23 10 Soler Marc Movistar Team +21:09
Happenings: No boring flat stages at this Vuelta. Forecasts predicted rain and sure enough, it started raining at the second half of the stage. When peloton rode through narrow downhill corner, James Knox slipped on the wet road and provoked huge pile up involving Jumbo-Visma with Roglic and MAL. Movistar being Movistar went full gas to the dismay of other riders in the peloton. They only slowed down after 15 km when UCI announced to Movistar DS that they will allow riders affected by crash to be towed behind vehicles. General confusion was beneficial to breakaway and boosted their chances of victory. Remi Cavagna attacked with 24 km to go and rode solo to the finish line barely beating peloton to the finish line with 200 m remaining. Afterwards Lopez didn't mince words regarding Movistar and Valverde. The rest of peloton seems to share that opinion but preferred to stay diplomatic.

Yesterday, MVDP powered to another uphill sprint s1.webmshare.com/jvdag.webm Now he has 12 seconds lead in GC ahead of Matteo Trentin. Today is another slightly uphill finish, so maybe he could pull hat trick idk
movistar is full of shit. flying high at their "home" GT. they are fully aware they can win only in dirty way
Ian King
Had to put in some effort to organise all of this. Which is a good thing because it means that the Vuelta was never boring.
Let me know if I'm missing some stuff. Still got some room which I filled up with some landscape stuff for now.
Thanks again to Russia for capturing videos without putting an obnoxious watermark on it. And god bless the Vuelta (thread), enjoying every minute of this.
I dont get Jumbo tactics, they are burning all their domestiques chasing those Astana attacks instead of trying to get with 5-6 guys till the last 2 climbs. Lopez will never make up 4 minutes. Also dont get why Movistar isnt marking the Astana attacks or try to set something up themselves. Looks like Valverde and Nairo dont have legs ?
Joseph Adams
could this be the greatest toilet jump of all time
Zachary Davis
Yeah, should be Movistar stopping the Astana attacks because they have a podium to defend. Strange indeed.
which is merging with Katyusha Hope they crash in every race
Jack Green
those lads look flemish to me

>Dylan Teuns interview
lmao he sounds like a 0iq cartoon character
Christian Peterson
Eddy merckx also is a 3 times champ but I wouldn't bet on him. The problem for sagan is not necessarily the climb but his abyssal form since the beginning of the year.
Aiden Lee
Does De Carrera ever get tired? Hes well on his way to become my favourite rider desu
Matthew Harris
Eurosport guys joking that Virgin has his last day with the playstation tomorrow
Gabriel Robinson
He could follow Allah and Van Avermaet on the last climb yesterday unlike the rest of the field so he has some form
Dylan Thomas

You would think this issue could be fixed with better material for pads.
Kayden White
I dont think anyone cares about noise, if it works well for braking there is no need to "fix" it.

4 Astana riders dropping from the peleton
Luke Young
Finally. But I'm sure he's still gonna make an epic come back
Brian Holm talking about Zabel on days where the stage started on a mountain, he'd go out and ride the mountain at 8 o'clock just to see it and be ready. Absolute madman.
I hate Telephone Guggenheim so much.

cyclocross is pretty comfy to watch even though it has become a bit too much /VDPwinslol
Owen Price
A $15000 bike shouldn`t squeal, that's what I'm saying.
Jason Powell
VDP won't be participating in many cyclocross events this winter and van Aert is still recovering from that nasty injury. I think cyclocross will actually be exiting this season.
Lincoln Garcia
Aertswinslol
Brody Sullivan
If trips Tao wins and Bogdanoff takes the overall victory
Lincoln Wilson
The guy wants to win Roubaix and Tokyo Olympics next year. Knowing that cyclo cross season is starting now and he still hasn't finished his previous season, I hope for him that he'll take a break.
The problem with VDP is that he could come in the middle of a training block and still be able to win, especially with van Aert being dead.
Evan Diaz
Tao sounds like he wants to end it all
Eli Walker
Hope he does Preferably he injects himself with a few of Brailsford's cancer cells and they die together, suffering
I know a brit cyclist who's interacted with TGH before. The summary of him boils down to: >he's a whiny cunt >always really abrasive to talk with >legit thinks he's going to be the next Froome

Trips and Valverde pushes Quintana off the road to his death while all of Movistar cheer, clap and holler
Brody Gonzalez
dubs confirm
Zachary Baker
Thanks Juan!
Jaxon Ortiz
yes he will attack backwards and loose 5
Owen Bailey
wow, what a cunt it's not like Cavagna didn't have to work solo for 25 km till the finish. And he didn't work before because initially he was delegated to break to wait for Gilbert.
Liam James
I wonder how tongue-in-cheek ineos is with their, "make us *actually* look like the bad guys," outfit design

Soler will be instructed to kamikaze into Roglic and then Movistar will launch an echelon attack
John Barnes
He'll throw his hand angrily in the air then do it anyways

yest, but trowing the hands is basically telegraphed attack, so Roglic will dark souls roll to evade him

I think the final verdict is that MVDP is, dare I say, not a fraud.
19.0, but I think I will try to gain some weight over the winter, ive been cycling a lot since the spring and ive lost a ton of weight. Ive got a shitload of veins showing in my arms and legs now and I dont think thats very healthy. At least I can ride very fast uphill now I guess.
Lopez now waiting for Movistar to work so they dont loose the podium ?
Lincoln Bailey
Chad Pogocar vs Virgin Geogan
Nicholas Torres
yes and then he will try again assuming he isn't dead

Bentley Campbell
Guess what Wiggo, Movirgins will never attack
Jacob Miller
No
He is a puncher, good maybe for a stage win at GC, but he hasn't even proven himself on a mountain stage yet. Seriously, Pogacar is years ahead of him.
Hate is that people hype up Remco Evenepoel and Van der Poel .
>Muuuuh Poels
Matthew Bennett
Froome died and they still won
Noah Rodriguez
1-2 at the Tour tho
Mason Phillips
not in tdf, the only race they give a fuck about

gtfo
Juan Stewart
TEETH MOUNTAINS
Robert Martin
He won't stay at UAE. Either that or UAE will get some more funding, reform their team and build a GC team for Pogacar.
Jason Diaz
Has Valverde ever attacked during this Vuelta?
Angel Taylor
They didn't really participate in Giro because Bernal crash and they got 1st and 2nd in the Tour again. Just the Vuelta is safe because they send their B team.
Leo Green
10 mins ago, for like 5 seconds
Gabriel Baker
that one time he dragged Roglic to the top
Dominic Thomas
no thanks to the team in general. Bernal and G are great, but domestiques were the shadow of their past selves
Owen Moore
it's time to stop tripfagging
Dominic Wilson
Hes a 58kg manlet who somehow has enough power to be competitive in time trials. Surely he can ride uphill with the best. The only unknown thing is his ability to recover, which is very important for grand tours. But somehow I think he will be fine in that regard too, hes just a crazy talent.
Hunter Evans
Lmao, no
You gtfo, Anglo. They are not GC material.
Ian Bailey
carapaz
Jonathan Reyes
MVDP no, but Remco will evolve in the future
Isaiah Evans
What is interesting about UAE, they have an absolute shitter as a head doctor (Jeroen Swart). I wonder, does that mean Pogačar is on a programme of his own? Or do they have some kinda inner circle with good doping doctors, and Mr. Swart is just a PR parrot? Who knows.
Mason Mitchell
I like the old school look on that Colnago that Pogacar is riding, no aero memery like you see on most modern bikes
Hunter Cook
When is Remco gonna ride a GC? I assume Quickstep will take him on a GC next year, when he is 20 and can prove himself.
Allah will ride GC next year, and fail miserably. He will never get an opportunity like this year again
Gabriel Walker
Le tour babby. What are you doing here? This is not /tdf/
Liam Sullivan
bet Erzen is his uncle
Jack Nguyen
Was it the Shimano car or the Burgos car?
Christian Rogers
First the shimano car, then the burgos car finished it off.
Luke Gutierrez
he has confirmed already he won't ride for GC next year
Brody Butler
What is Movistar doing ffs do they want to punish Lopez or Nairo
Connor Price
VAMOS!! VAMOS!! VAMOS!!
Cooper Barnes
The kid was probably wearing a Burgos jersey so they ran him over mistaking him for one of their riders
Benjamin Rogers
They will go much quicker on that final climb, pogachad has been turning himself inside out while the others have just been resting in the wheel. They have it all under control.
Adam Scott
They're beyond frustrating
Lincoln Sanders
both, movistar is happy with valverde in 2nd, if he loses his position they will attack
Jack Sanders
now that I think about it, it's the third car accident on this Vuelta, after Euscadi and Burgos.
Samuel Hill
Remco is a very good at TT while being 58kg. It's not hard to see him being good in GC
Colton Rogers
Back to your 1 week races and classics with hills and no mountains.
>Movistar being Movistar >now with the addition of butthurt towards MAL >completely screwing Quintana out of the podium this is hilarious, just handing it to Pogachad
Movistar really are a bunch of clowns. Hope Pogacar can jump to 2nd place.
Tyler Collins
Movistar is the worst fucking team while having strong riders
Brayden Flores
Ohnono quintANOOOOOO
Bentley Anderson
Hope Valverde looses 2nd
Jordan Thompson
Based fake prodigy child of Riis
Benjamin Davis
Still impressive at 19. I'm not saying he'll be eddy merckx but saying "he has no chance of being a GC contender is ridiculous"
He's a turbo manlet, I wouldn't be surprised if he were lighter than 60kg
Easton Thompson
but can you understand italian commentators if you can't see their hands?
Xavier Morris
WHY ARE CAMERAS SO SHIT ON THE VUELTA EVERYTIME?
Lincoln Williams
Krindž, pospravi se prosim
Asher Flores
Ye they aren't great but for some reason there are two sets of English eurosport commentators and tiz is mostly on the least bad pair. At least that was the case when I watched the Giro.
Benjamin Reed
hope Valverde punctures and finishes 4th with Nairo in 3rd
Nathan Cruz
I hope Pogochad cucks Boomberde out of second place. Movistar deserves the worst in this race.
Brayden Sanders
most kino outcome
Brody Adams
why the fuck is merckx spelled with an x at the end? It makes no sense
Landon Sanchez
cringe is seeing a serb (slovene) using a british vpn lol
Asher Sanchez
>If only you knew how bad movistar tactics really are
*attacks in the last 200m* >"Another magisterial move from the team mountain!" >"They're the best team in the world Carlton, there's just no doubt about it"
Samuel Mitchell
UAE also slipped in the 1st stage and lost even more time than Jumbo.
Ryder Sullivan
ugh, hate that shitter
Tyler White
He's not 100% consistent but with more experience he could maybe avoid those off days where he lost some time. In the early stages of the race we all though it would be a 4 man race before he really entered the GC.
Michael Adams
>castelli >santini Which is the patrician choice?
Matthew Davis
That's what I'm saying.
Jack Myers
>majka
Bentley Howard
Oh my goodness I hate them so much
Robert Garcia
At least Maijka did something
Bentley Gonzalez
Santini has better logo. Not a fun of castelli scorpion and dubious choice of fonts. Gotta admit, they did a lot for cycling clothing in general. Modern chamois is their invention.
Sebastian Rogers
whichever one is on sale
Nathan Ramirez
Comfy valley tho
Julian Gomez
for me its nalini
Camden Lopez
Useless Quintana has lead for 1 minute the whole stage kek
Adrian Torres
I rate Pogacar's performance above Bernal at the Tour.
Pogacar had no team, and lost a bunch of time in the ITT, still managed to win 3 stages and make the podium.
how can Valverde have so many fans when all he does is le epic sprint in last 150 meters and riding for podiums? He literally gave up half way through the race.
Jace Brooks
about time he's done with that race. Ski jumping season is just around the corner
James Rogers
Marion is very cute
John Johnson
Pogacar, Doncic, Garnbret. All of them are just 20 and absolutely world class level already. Apparently some serious Chads were procreating around 1999 in Slovenia.
>implying Joembo-Pissma winning GC doesn't count as part of Bizarro /cyc/
James Martin
maybe just tired
Christopher Roberts
Jedinstvo i Bratstvo
Jordan Peterson
>Valverde chute tomorrow >All Movistars stops to help him beside Quintana >Quintana rides in front with Pogacar and basically all the teams >Pogacar 2nd >Quintana 3rd >Valverde out of podium
Lopez is such a shitter now that I think about it. Astana is probably the strongest team in this Vuelta and he still couldn't deliver even with his aggressive style.
also him saying that he wouldn't change his six WC podiums for one win is the most insane thing ever.
Chase Cooper
3 crashes, and still won.
He has done a better preparation for the Vuelta than at the Giro, where he peaked early and dropped a bit.
Justin King
And considering their performance this whole season, their (((preparation))) is really good. Vino gotta be displeased.
Aiden Evans
at Giro it was shit team roster fault and general DS incompetence imo also, he focused on Nibbles too much
Ayden Martin
Yeah. I mean, even Aru could win GT with Astana.
Luke Collins
>Movistar wins Team Classification by time in all the 3 Grand Tours this year oh I'm laughing
Zachary Torres
I had low expectations to him after seeing him in the Giro so I was positively surprised by him in the first half of the race. But in the end he is almost 5 minutes behind and not even close to podium. Astana needs a new strong captain to ride for.
Logan Johnson
Tillykke my broder
Best result in a GT for your nation right?
Carter Nguyen
Lopez will never win a GC with those abysmal TT skills.
I'm on Vacation in It*ly and I just overheard that Roglic is a former ski jumper. That cannot possibly be right, right? Guys?
Matthew Hernandez
>Ciccone that bad
Why isn't he resting, he is clearly overexhausting himself.
Easton Gray
He is the only rider who also has an Olympic medal in all skiing events.
Easton Rogers
Big brain Trek/Italy management.
Jose Torres

Jace Young
I'm a very friendly guy but I legit would get pissed the fuck off if someone tries to invade my personal space and get touchy-feely like that. I would probably react the same way even if I was in a good mood and on friendly terms with the other guy. In civilised parts of the world it's considered quite rude to touch someone without their consent, or really at all for that matter. If you want to "make amends" or whatnot, then just shake hands, don't go in for some pussy huggy shit.
Evan Martin
Why did Taco Gorgonzola got the combativity loser award, and not the Katusha rider?
