Vuelta a España stage 10: Castro Urdiales to Suances (185km)

MPFGLB

Even his helper is saying that he doesnt look tired :rolleyes:

Dodge

Think we can all be happy in the knowledge there is zero chance Sam Bennett was winning that stage! More Liege Bastogne Liege than a sprinters stage! Great finale

eagle eye

Wow Roglic is something else.

mr spuckler

That's some gap that Roglic managed at the end!

f1000

That last 2km looked like a proper challenge

Inquitus

Didn't even break into a sweat, far too easy for him.

dastardly00

Dan finished 7th

Richard Hillman

Roglic has taken 13 seconds on Carapaz. Dan Martin was in the lead group too

Dodge

Stats have Dan Martin on the same time as Roglic. 3 seconds gained on the peleton.

and 3s back on Carapaz

Roglic in red!

No - they've changed it. Top 30 or so gets the same time now.

Raoul Duke

No surprise that he won. He's by far the best rider in the peloton at powering up that sort of an incline - short and not too steep.

Good showing from him again. Think Roglic caught a few of them on the hop in terms of positioning and timing of the kick... Dan might have fared better if he'd stuck a bit tighter, but easy to say with hindsight. And easier said than done! Did he get a few seconds over Carapaz and Carthy?

fair play to roglic...3 victories now in the vuelta 2020

MPFGLB

Rode a very hard Dauphine , a really really hard Tour , Worlds, LBL and now with all these riders who were not top at the Tour and he is leaving them behind


Good job he doesnt ride for Ineos I suppose

Carapaz was 2nd behind G Martin with about 500m to go and went backwards. Roglic and 10+ others flew past him

Richard Hillman

Looks like they were all given the same time.

The odds on Sam were crazy, he was never getting this one. Thankfully i layed him on the exchange before the series of climbs were he was dropped Knew id won ages ago

How on earth can that be classified as a "flat" stage?

He's 3 seconds down on Carapaz and just won a short sharp sprint up a hill. It's hardly ridiculous

He's not leaving behind a Tour quality field either fwiw. Same as the Giro. Just a very odd season that has the peleton too thinly stretched

Yeah, he looked very leggy. Doesn't bode well for him this weekend.

Your new Top 10 and new leader:

Looks like they've given Carapaz and the 2nd group the same time as Rog and Dan

mr spuckler

Wasn't that updated? Carapaz given same time as Roglic and so remains 3 seconds ahead.

Raoul Duke

Roglic in red as per official website

They changed it back! Everyone down to 8th on the same time. Carapaz and McCarthy lose 3 more seconds to Roglic and Dan

Originally it gave everyone same time, then they edited it to give Roglic a 3 second gap.

Boscoirl

Same Time for the Carapaz is a bit generous. There were definitely gaps in the road.

In the replay Carapaz came in 6 seconds after Roglic

Originally it had a gap. Then they changed it. They they reinstated the gap

And to be honest Roglic should have gained time on the Dan Martin group too

Carapaz didn't get same time Roglic to 9th did, including Dan, they got 3 seconds on the rest.

Definitely gaps at the end. I was about to post that the Vuelta comms couldn't be arsed counting tenths of a second to separate Roglic and Carapaz — so gave them both the same time — but have rightly acknowledged the gap now.

I must admit, I thought Roglic would show fatigue after the Tour, but he is showing incredible reserves to do what he is doing here. Angliru on Sunday will be fascinating to watch.

YOu are missing the point ...I accept the season is unusual


My point is if Roglic rode for INEOS he would get lambasted because INEOS cant have top performances and be given the same leyway that other riders are given ...not on social media and not by some here

even when they do stuff that is extraordinary .
Roglic flying now is extraordinary given what he has ridden so far this season

eagle eye

It's be great if Dan could do it tomorrow and snatch that red jersey for a couple of days.

retalivity

Sammy B last man home just behind his temmate 12mins down.

Expect RTE to lead with that.

Fair enough. I find the raised eyebrows after every good performance (whatever the team) tiresome

I don’t think Roglic is too extraordinary here fwiw. Just the best rider by some distance over a middling field. The only question was how would the loss in the TDF affect him

He’s not leaving them behind really though , it’s a few seconds. There are lads who you’ve barely ever heard of only couple minutes down. Lance and the boys would be 10 mins up on all but podium at this stage in a Tour

That doesn't bode well for tomorrow and Sunday
Ackermann was only ~6 minutes behind Roglic, so a fit & healthy Sam shouldn't have struggled as much as he did today.

He was saving a bit back for Sunday’s breakaway and solo assault on L’Angliru

It's been done to death at this stage. When TJV come out with the sort of pontificating crap we got from Sky for years you'll find people wishing them ill just as quick.

Don't even try compare this to Dennis winning the Cima Coppi. And a JV doctor isnt currently trying to rob laptops our of courtrooms

To be fair its not Ineos's fault yer man has gone off the deepend!

He was very consistent last season also from Tirreno til Lombardy

He's been getting panned in the Belgian (social) media since the World's road race as apparently he's the reason van Aert isn't world champion or the tour of flanders winner. So it's nice to see him back winning, especially in Liège.
It's some reaction to his tour loss.

who_ru

Roglic is an incredible athlete, not just physically but mentally too. A lot of riders would not have come back from that defeat in the tour, he's a class act, they way he congratulated Podgacar having lost the ITT in the tour is exemplary. I have nothing but respect for him. and then to win LBL just a few weeks later, top top attitude, and a gent to boot.
