3:00 This is what the world looks like if you’re near sighted if anyone ever wondered.

[MiserereMei]

I like how a third of the way into the video (2:25) Patrick starts daydreaming about his upcoming vacation to Northern Spain 😄

[sergiodemichele]

It's like someone turned the lights off on the Vuelta yesterday...

[David-hewr]

The second last rider from Alpecin with No 72 who chased down the late attackers is Maurice Ballerstedt, a young and super-strong German rider, he's the ssecond last man in their leadout (edit: he's also the guy celebrating in the shot from behind)

[Werelock]

Hearing Kaden Groves say 'catched' made me think that I probably shouldn't come down so hard on my three year-old for saying the same thing🤣

[JayGrofte]

Stage 6 started in a supermarket. Stage 17 finished in a bank

[rustyshackleford]

Unbelievable that there are 2 sprinters in the race and only 4 teams go in the break. Shameful

[christopherdolan]

Groves doesn't even know how the race played out–when the original break was caught and that a counterattack even went. Perfect sprinter! He has literally one job: to win the field sprint. It's his team's job to worry about everything else, to ensure that winning the field sprint equals winning the stage.

I think the lack of people pushing it is because they're saving themselves and trying to recover for bigger days!! Horrendous weather with WvA out, would have highlighted how quickly it can change - all adds up to a more chilled out stage (sort of)

[MrultiPaul]

The only thing saving these boring stages in the invetable dropping of new LR lore. Hope you manage to get that spain trip!

[hopandsolo]

In North of Spain it seems to rain even more than West of Ireland!

[dancooperish]

Aussie in red. Aussie in green. Aussie in polka dots.

Could be the first time ever?

[nigelstead]

I know you have more important and interesting things to cover with this very exciting race in Spain, but I would really appreciate some insight into Ineos Grenadiers. Steve Cummings has been sidelined once again as DS, this time at the Tour of Britain, in favour of Kurt Bogaerts. The Ineos thing has gone beyond being a relative lack of success to become a toxic shitshow. At least that’s how it seems. What is going on there?

[florenzebg]

I think the real Alpecin MVP was Ballerstedt today. Catching those 3 guys (ok, only Schmidt) was impressive and Panckaert really didn‘t have to do much

[filda]

3:46 how to loose stage
you just start to look behind you when you bridge over to cooked break-away contenders with steam-train legs and waits for fresh peloton sprinters

[markwelch]

Victor Campenaerts is going to have a great year next year at Visma. He seems to be doing everything at this Vuelta.

[vinniamsterdam]

Especially in this weather they could have avoided a sprint.

[monkeyshooter]

next time take care of the leader of 2 jerseys and give breakaway a heads up about dangerous wet curves with rocks on the side
