So the "movistar trident" has been a meme for so long, but has any team ever brought a roster like JV that has 3 true contenders and also delivered these results???
Team Sky came close when they had Wiggins and Froome, but in the end Wiggins was top. A predecessor of JV once named Mollema, ten Dam and… Gesink? as their GC guys. They did a n interview about it and it was so awkward
It's not even just the top three. Any split, on ramp or in wind, they have like half of the front group. This team is OP, it's boring at this point because it takes all tension out of the race. The only excitement left is whether roglic can keen his temper being the 3rd rider on his team.
You know it's been a hard stage when 26th place is over 22 minutes down!
I'm so looking forward to today. Hard to see anything but a pure GC shakeup, possibly with GC-rider attacks on one of the two early climbs.
I'm not sure who it will be, but I predict the winner today wins the Vuelta.
Hmm, a decent prediction for the day, but I think I now predict that this overall prediction is wrong.
Kuss must now be favourite to win overall. Hard to see Roglic or Vingegaard attacking to take it off him, and he looks stronger than anyone else. (As well as having a tidy advantage.)
Still plenty of racing to go, and it is far from a certainty, bpt it seems the most likely scenario.
The killer bees certainly loved up to their nickname...swarming he podium on this stage!
What a race! Will post more tomorrow to avoid spoilers. Such a wonderful and emotional post race interview.
