Roglaaa in Rojooo!...

.Rogla takes red tomorrow 😁

...at last.
Got there eventually.

So ... can Ben O'Connor hold on to second - he has 26 sec on Mas, and if not, on to the podium - he has 1 minute on Carapaz.

I hope so, because although he got his big lead as a bit of a gift, he's battled heroically hard to hold on to it.

Could struggle to stay in p2, depends what happens tomorrow. However, he should stay on podium as his TTing is generally better than Carapaz.

No

Been pleasantly surprised by David Gaudu so far, he's quietly gone about his race.

Was he ever really in doubt ...he looked the best I've seen him in a long time on that last 5k.

What about Roglič's usual crash, though?

It's a monstrous stage to day, ample opportunity for anyone to crack, and if they do they could easily lose 5, 10, 20 mins

Who!!!

 

[Fastpedaller]

Has anyone else noticed the Quest 'trailer' advertising la Vuelta has a caption "Every Meter a fight". They must be Spanish Metres I guess
Doing a 'net check suggests meter is a US spelling, and both spellings are valid (learn something new each day)

What about Roglič's usual crash, though?

It just won't be the same if we don't get any shots of Roglic's bloodstained arse hanging out of his shorts.

He may be saving it up for a bravura performance during the ITT

 

[Adam4868]

Rogla only has to defend so....
Carapaz to send riders up the road and attack
Kuss saving himself and his Vuelta with a stage win.
But to throw my last bit of cash away I'm going with Max Poole...give the lad a break please 😁

 

[Adam4868]

Dani Martinez abandoned sick....Vlasov out the back !
Seems like there always has to be drama with Rogla !
Landa eyeing the stage up....😍

 

[roadrash]
