I'm a fan of Roglic, so don't get me wrong, but when he didn't crash yesterday I felt like there was something wrong. Today with his crash he restored the balance in the universe, so I can be at peace again.
The EF mechanic who made the bike change for Piccolo deserves a podium. It was so smooth. I don't think he stopped moving while swapping bikes and giving him a push start.
Please remember these videos are titled the way they are for clicks (which is totally fine). All the big teams had agreed to take it slow before the stage. UAE and Remco also told the peloton to calm down. Of course, Jumbo did it at an opportune moment for them, but it was also something that had been agreed on beforehand between teams. The other teams could have decided to ignore Jumbo and kept going. It's not like Jumbo blocked them, they just called for calm. The conditions were treacherous today, we saw that with the amount of crashes... and that is with the peloton taking it slow. If they had all gone full out, it would have been absolute carnage.
Another thing to add is that Jonas has been talking to Enric Mas about neutralizing the stage before the stage already, and been pretty vocal about the bad conditions, so it's not like Jumbo and Jonas decided to do this out of nowhere
Afaik this is true. LR needs to better balance reporting and self-promotional aspect of the podcast presentation. Some of the wildly hyperbolic titles are funny. This one wasn’t hyperbolic enough to be among that set.
They will do indoor time rides on stationary bikes to decide the GC, followed by stages for those who want to go for stage wins and bonus seconds. Everyone else will be allowed to follow in the team bus as long as they take their bike with them to the finish town.
We want to see these races decided by the best against the best. Sick of seeing GC guys, or any rider, injured early in GTs cuz of stupid organizer decisions.
@@GelDouche12They almost never do this kind of city parcours, for good reasons: It's no fun for the racers and it's not good racing for the fans. But I understand you have no clue about racing and probably never organised one like I do every year. You're always welcome to clean up the road (stones in curves) before the race over here. But you don't care, as long as you are entertained sitting on your couch.
What j..... are all commenting the fall of Rogla. He just have all the bad luck in the world. Today taken down, Giro the same,last year the same... I dont see nobody talking Thomas on the deck, Bernal 10times on the deck in last 2 seasons, etc... pure envy!
So this is the 77th edition and this is how a team with multiple editions under their belts start what had been laid out as potentially the greatest Veulta ever. Instead starts with the biggest cluster *"'* ever. The course was too tight of turns to have a proper TTT,then they wait all day and JV left the start ramp at 8:20 local time without construction generator light trailers and only following car headlights. Then i notice the barriers where they had the finish, those were shit tastic PVC sandwich board style. Again ZERO regards for rider safety. These are similar to the ones that collapsed and almost killed Fabio Jacobson. 🤔. How am i supposed to support anything the UCI useless Cycling Infrastructure does. Sock heaght police have switched to bar width police and yet any significant safety concerns seem to fall on rars of greed not of common sense.😡🤬 Compete sham of a start to such a beautiful race with the altime greatest lineup. 🤞Wr don't lose a buch more riders to bad decisions.
Stage hunting teams need to stop considering what GC teams want. Sure, nothing wrong with asking everyone to calm down, and if the chasing teams were supremely confident they would catch the break anyway, they can do the other teams the courtesy of waiting. But if they were chasing, which means they thought that was the best thing for them to do. It is not like sprint teams move up in front in the beginning of a massive mountain and tell everyone to calm down, and block the road, because they want the climb to be slow so their sprinter can save energy.
Agreed, it's not that wheb a sprinter crashes on a Mountain stage the peloton Waits, so It should be the same, this said conditions were Dangerous, but we've seen this done even on good weather stages
G said proper pissed stupid garbage organisation. Start an hour earlier min. Teams rode dark no lights, Professionals, back to the bus post stage. That’s before last couple teams rode wheel to wheel in almost complete low road level dark stage against clock . Crazy opener.
I'm going up to Arinsal via Envalira +Ordino now. Can you do something about the weather? 🥶 On second thought: good excuse if I don't do well on your segment...
not fair that the big stars and the powerful teams desides if we should wait or not. A crash craeted by a riders mistake is part of the game. There what atleast one sprinter in the bunch who had a goal about this stage win this entire year
It's an athletic competition. If your team isn't more powerful than all the others, you're on the wrong team. *Everyone* wants to win; this is, of course, not feasible.
It's very simple: if the GC teams don't want to take any risks then Jumbo, Quickstep, Ineos and UAE should form their own slow peloton but shouldn't discourage Movistar and DSM riders to go for the stage win and red jersey. It's actually quite inconsiderate and arrogant of those powerful teams to think they have any right to control smaller teams who basically only have these sort of chances by taking more risks.
@@biscaynediver it wasnt their fault the UAE rider fell what do you expect him to do, dodge the bike in a fraction of a second? See the context in which they fell before making such statements.
@@Queen-be6md You haven't raced have you? Good bike handlers ANTICIPATE and position. Roglic was pinching down a guy trying to take a wet roundabout on the tightest apex and very obviously being pushed on the painted line -- which good riders anticipate and get the hell away from. Notice that Thomas, to the right of Roglic, anticipates this and starts to move out -- he saw it coming. Unfortunately for him, he just couldn't get far enough out. Go back and look at Roglic's crashes. Many of them are due to poor positioning and completely cluelessness in reading the road and ANTICIPATING. He's never braced, he's always late to the brakes, always late to react. Note the good commentary by Lanterne Rouge pointing out how dumb it is for G to ride anywhere near Roglic - the implication being you know the guy's a poor bike handler, has zero anticipation and race reading skills, and is going to get caught up in crashes ... and if you're next to him, he's probably taking you down too, so stay the hell away. If you'd actually raced, you'd know part of success in avoiding crashes over time is reading the other riders in the peloton and knowing who the hell to stay away from.
Bike's to be left at the start tomorrow and clown cars having sponsors logo's painted on overnight the organisers have turned this into Vuelta a Circo.
Protestors poured oil and nails on the streets to stop the race, that’s why today was so chaotic, and the rain, like to all the people saying ‘get better at bike handling’ probably don’t know what it’s like to do 80k/h+ on a wet decent, like when you are doing that speed with bad conditions on the road probably bike handling doesn’t matter anymore fr, specially after Gino’s passing nobody would want to risk that much. If you want someone to risk their life in a dangerous road, go and do it yourself
How can it be that La Vuelta, a grand freakin' tour, can't get their on-screen tv graphics in order? I love the Vuelta, I always watch it, but I can't remember a year where they were on top of the tv graphics game. It kills a large part of the race enjoyment for me. Taxes, death and La Vuelta on-screen graphics... as they say.
Yes, they swap tyres. Remco talks about it in his interview with Lanterne Rouge. However, even the gripiest tyres don’t stand a chance against the all mighty white line at 50k/hr in the rain with leaves.
Yeah I don't get it either ha ha. He must do pavement jobs between cycling seasons. But here it seems the guy in front of him crashed and it was impossible for him to avoid him.
Funny how no one corrected the assumptions here ; Jonas and Remco tried to slow down the peloton because of the nails maliciously placed on the road, they were just trying to avoid mass crashes
The TV production was poor lots of high helicopter shots where you could not see who's who in the zoo. Ant Mcrossan missing from the commentary and his lady assistant struggling valiantly on her own with not much help from the Spanish TV feed
Vingegaard DEMANDS, eh? Well, F him. He ought to spend less time trying to demand and bully other teams with other priorities, and more time in training camp with Roglic teaching him how to stay upright.
I get what happened on Saturday and it was a horribpe look for the sport but yesterday seemed a bit farcical blocking DSM and neutralising for convenience. If I was DSM Id be very very frustrated with how yeaterday played out. Equally just the entire finish was ridiculous with no clarity over what was happening
Ok for the night issue, but it seems the peloton discovers rain... That's ridiculous. They will soon ask cancellation because of the opposite wind. Who they think they are to ask to slow down? Cycling is going in the wrong direction.
It’s ridiculous that grand tour winners think they have the right to neutralize the peloton because their teammate was involved in a crash. If they think this is justified, then the peloton should be neutralized for every single crash which is absolute nonsense. It’s a part of bike racing. These guys are pros. Get over it and don’t inhibit the racing of other just because your teammate got unlucky and you think you can bully everyone because you “won the Tour de France.”
It's not prestige, it's strength. You can do whatever, but if you try to get to the break, for example, their TEAM is stronger than YOU, and they WILL run you down. Even if you get away, your teammates have to follow at that pace or get dropped, and they'll make you know how painful it was. There is no single dominant team these days, hence no Patron. But the top teams can agree to act like One. On most days, the guys are just trying to get through the stage and conserve energy for when it's their go-time. If the peloton is moving at 35 kph, it's like a warm afternoon at the office.
Never understood neutralising a race in cycling because someone crashed. In any other sport, if you crash it's your problem. If someone takes you out - unfortunate but still your problem. Same with mechanicals.
The threat is declaring yourself persona non grata to the peloton and ensure yourself a bad time. Most of the guys are spending the day riding comfortably in the peloton and not going full gas. If you defy the leaders, the teams can raise the pace so high, everyone is pushing hard, and they'll make it clear who's to blame. This is similar to when a break tries to form, and some days they'll be going hard for two hours until everyone is either happy with the break composition or too tired to object. That's two hours of hard riding that didn't have to be that way. There are other reasons to neutralize: my favorite was a Giro stage in 2006(?) that stopped in a tunnel for fifteen minutes because it started to snow. Everyone got geared up and warmed up and then the race resumed.
Vingegaar should be DQ'd, he is free to stop if he wants but what he is doing is forcing others to do what benefits his team which is stronger and has lots of stages to win La Vuelta. What would Jumbo do if a bad descender would stop a race before a dowhill? Or a TT racer stopping every stage except the TT ?
Crazy stage and interesting to watch how the difference of interest played out. Of course the GC favoriutes wanted speed to come down, but on the other hand you gotta respect those teams who don´t have a GC rider and for whom a stage win or the red jersey may be critical for the entire season. If the peloton had been grouped together it would have been more simple to make joint decisions, but with a breakaway Jumbo and Co can´t tell the other teams what to do. When the steep mountain stages come and Jonas and the others disintegrate the weaker teams THEY don´t get any favours or the chance to slow down the tempo :)
