The Vuelta with spoilers

[Adam4868]

Puts tin foil hat on.

I've just watched it and I wonder if maybe Jakobsen's fitness is giving out and actually he just blew up trying to hold on to his sprint train.

Pfft. Probably did have a flat tyre, but that's boring. Better to make something up.

Take your hat off...your right.Im sure I heard he had a mechanical.But obviously not.

Certainly looks like he noted something was up with his bike

It's my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking to it.

Senechal said that Jakobsen had "a flat tyre or something" in his interview, and that's what they said in The Breakaway but Jakobsen appeared to be struggling well before he pulled up. Maybe he was struggling cos he was riding on a deflating tyre. Who knows.

He was interviewed for Danish television right after the finish and he said he just blew up - no mechanical. Him looking down was probably just yelling "Shut up legs!".

Bardet takes the KOM jersey and stage as recompense for losing all that time and GC chances.
As you were in the GC really

Yea I'm fecking sick of breakaways ! Time for some action or are they just going to sit back and fight for second/third ?
Glad Bardet has a stage win at least.Ride of the day has to be Vine though,to come back and finish 3rd after his fall.
Read Carapaz has pulled out aswell...must be knackered.

Jakobsen in his morning interview said "the legs exploded ... I didn't have the legs"

So I was right. Which is very unusual. I suppose if you spout rubbish for long enough it's bound to happen.

I'm not sure. Kirby and Wiggins are attempting to disprove that theory.

Bit of a surprise Vine didn't get today's combativity prize. What did Navarro do?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Bardet in his post race interview sounded just like Roglic, but with a French accent. "Well uh ... it was a super hard stage, huh? And I had the legs."

The international language of the cycling interview.

It's a popular vote thing, not judged by a jury of the great and the good. Vine failed to be Spanish enough

Yes, have you ever competed in Spain?

In Magaluf I've drunk one of those big pitchers of Sangria in under 90 seconds when younger.

 

[Adam4868]

I'm going to be positive and say Roglic is going to fade in the final week.
