The Vuelta with spoilers

Disagree about yesterday's stage and waiting...that's what happens in crosswinds.Ellisonde got himself in the right position.I feel for him losing the jersey like that but it's a cruel sport.
He's got the KOM jersey for today what's the big deal

People win the jersey,..... people lose the jersey, its a race doesnt help though when your team works against you

Do you think Taaramae has noticed that in the highlights? Might be a quiet breakfast at IWG today! That said, shouldn't the leader have been up near the front with them at that point in the race? The turbos had started but it was outside the 3km.

Anyway, that's why there are stages like this. Tour winners need to be able to cope with flat whirlpool stages like this, as well as climbs and TTs. The time losses can be just as devastating, even if overall contenders rarely win the stages.

I thought I saw the red jersey fall first, which would be a big sin if someone chopped the leader's front wheel but Lanterne Rouge reckoned Danish national champion Mads Würz Schmidt of ISN hit a Caja Rural rider to start the dominoes falling.

Just catching up on yesterdays stage. Blimmin eck! Looks more like Arizona than Spain, not enough brew and sausage roll stops for my liking

I think the peloton only really waits uf it's a serious GC contender not for a relative no hoper like Taaramae.

Ah these unwritten rules.

I remember Froome once had a big whinge because teams didn't wait when one of his team mates went down (Richie Porte I think) rewriting the unwritten rule to extend to the leader and his mates.

I tbink it was actually Ian Stannard which was utterly bizarre nonsense!

Looks like downhill and flat till the last steep 2km today whuch could help Kenny keep the jersey

Anyway, it's nice that Taaramae gets to wear his spotty jumper. I'd forgotten he held that too.

Nibali once attacked when he had a mechanical...but Froome went to his caravan after the stage and gave him a jolly good talking to !
He never "whinges" 🙄

Roglic just makes it look too easy doesn't he ?

Fans of complaining about TV coverage will have a field day on the camerawork on that final climb.

 

[Adam4868]

Every credit to Magnus for the stage win but looked like Roglic eased of near the finish.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Tomorrow, should sort them out nicely ...
