Roglic's son's crib is going to be packed with all those red and green stuffed animals Roglic keeps winning from each stage!

Stage 15 and 16 are back to back hard mountain finishes, the Vuelta will be decided here. 3rd week is relatively easy. Both Roglic and Pogacar are working well together, cannot see anyone challenging them or even taking out a big chunk of time.

[andredias]

Roglic and pogacar work better together than Movistar 😐😐

[AdrrejHanzelj]

I was kind of prepared for Roglič to be defensive today, but this was insane. Instead of minimizing the losses he gained more time. Hats off!

[seadbiberovic]

So did you seen Slovenian riders ?New super power form Slovenia. This is season the best to all the time for Slovenian cycling.

[jonathanzappala]

Who would have thought a tiny country like Slovenia put a stop to the Colombian train. At this rate it will be the two of them and Valverde for a no Colombian podium.

[mohicanmowl]

Tadej Is sick talent. Higuita as well, some good riders coming up.

[TomazKusar]

Thx God; I was getting already afraid of your yesterday prediction when you put the Superman for winning favorite for the stage 13, but today the reality reveals itself... and it looks something like this; SLOVENIA is becoming next Cycling superpower! 💪🚴‍♂️
Best regards from Slovenia! 😘😎

Impressive ride by Roglic. I think he has this Vuelta won

[mhuten]

“When you see a pro rider going that slow, you know its steep!”

Dan

[justcallmeq]

literally LMAO when you said “and then they hit the slabs which marked the steepest point of the climb” like everything before wouldn’t put me into cardiac arrest

[ImranShaikh-ghwd]

great commentary Dan - the best highlights

[riquelmeone]

Oh my, the comments roughly a week ago ... “Quintana is winning” ...
He hasn’t been a top GC rider for a while now.

[johnbouttell]

Pogo char, verb, to float up steep hills effortlessly ...

[Whalturk]

Does anyone know how fast Pogacar rode the climb compared to Contador in 2017?

[coachjeff]

Great hilight coverage by GCN i have given up on all the others with too much non related chat and ads etc. Great to just get the brief story and some finish footage.

[eemuhalinen]

Lopez placed 7th. How always always the rider Dan predicts seems to do worse than normal?

[scotchgod]

I think Roglič is gonna make it this time and he deserves it .Quintana fuck it up again, no way he's ever gonna win a grand tour again.

[eduardolucio]

When riding the Giro with maglia rosa, Roglic was very conservative to maintain your jersey and, at the end, he actually lost your first position. In this Vuelta, your behaviour and tatics are more agressive than that. He is forced attacks and seem to understand very well the Movistar lack os tatics. In my opinion, he is the strengh rider and will keep this jersey. Congratulations from Brazil.

You guys should give the Los Machucos a shot someday.
