Vuelta a España 2019 Stage 17 Highlights: CROSSWIND CHAOS!!! | GCN Racing

The race that keeps on giving, Quintana embracing that green jersey by gaining time on the flats

[beatenbytheclown]

Quintana gets written off in yesterday’s GCN show, takes 5mins back today, the GCN curse works in reverse

[domestik]

Wind. Bringing more surprises to grand tours these days than 4000m of climbing in one stage.

[BlogJustice]

Good job, getting these excellent highlights out so quickly every day.

Top work by Gilbert once again! Yes we hear all day long, the new generation is taking over. Yet the older riders aren't surrendering. No doubt DQT is the Team of the Year.

Movistar team did well but Astana wtf. They missed a big opportunity today by not letting Roglic work

[IhGoogleandApple]

Quintana showing his mettle by driving hard on the flats. New respect for his flat land power!

[thechampion]

Go Quintana, you've had some good luck now use it.

[JoostMehrtens]

Hard fought but in the end Roglic lost only 24 seconds on the nr. 2.
The only damage could be that tomorrow Jumbo Visma will be exhausted in comparison with Movistar.

this is wild and why I love the Vuelta

Bora has pretty much shown their supposed GC leader a massive middle finger today. Poor Majka :(

[paulhahn]

Why exactly did Bennett attack? He is the fastest sprinter in the entire field so surely he would have won a normal bunch sprint 300m away from the finish line.

What a stage! Very exciting development

[topsander]

Wow... even if it is explained in the video itself why Movistar shortly rode behind Quintana, people are still ridiculing Movistar's tactics... I know that there's a lot that can be said about what that team does and doesn't do, but trying to drop some riders who are chasing a man up the road doesn't really seem such a bad idea... and if Valverde had been able to drop Rogliç himself, people probably would have applauded Movistar's tactics and said that they were geniuses...


The only real mistake, at least in my eyes, is that Valverde wasn't part of the 47-men group... if he had been there the results of today could've been much better for Movistar...

Another top ten on the stage for Craddock - he’s on fire!

[tellux]

Still it is nice that no definitive conclusions can be drawn regarding the Vuelta and so hopefully remains exciting until the last day ... :) ^^

Love the use of dnb in the videos, anyone know this song name?

[JoostMehrtens]

Teuns, in another 5min plus breakaway, creeps into the top10.

[sgameirojr]

At some point he should stop calling a "prediction" and start calling a "bet". :-D
Exciting tour!
