    Roglic goes again and O’Connor can’t follow just Mas and Carapaz. O’Connor gets back.

    Gall brings Roglic back

    UAE in crisis

    Almeida must be sick. His Vuelta is done.

    Wonder if Pog is sat watching and cursing as his teammates fall apart…

    Roglic a third time. This must me an entire GT worth of riding on the front for him in normal circumstances. Mas again follows.

    Rog going to get this

    O’Connor recovering a bit but struggling to follow Gall. Not really a climb that suits him and it will take a lot of gains like this to take the jersey.

    Roglic has too much for Mas. 45” lost by O’Connor plus 10” bonus.

    Ben is suffering

    Roglic puts 55 secs into the jersey

    Decathlon handled that badly ...they kept the break way too close wasn't all Israel

    Wtf was Gall doing 10s ahead of O’Connor

    No wonder Roglic is so successful at the Vuelta. These climbs are his bread and butter.

    My Velogames team suffers another disastrous day.

    A first sighting of Eddie Dunbar, too. He must think he’s back in the Junior Tour of Wales!

    Both decathlon riders should of been close to extend the 1sec gap

    For all the talk of Ineos having a shit race Rodriguez is right up there with the best of the rest behind O’Connor.

    That was good and aggressive from Roglic. Thought Ben was a bit cocky early in the climb

    Or not. Not sure what I saw earlier, maybe the other C. Rodriguez

    The Vuelta and Roglic do love a 15% climb.

    Not sure anyone else does.

    So that Riccetello could lose 2 minutes and drop down the GC?

    A bit muppety imo.

    According to Inrng, Almeida has Covid…

    Despite having watched this stuff for a number of years I guess I have to put my hand up and say that I just don't understand the strategic brains in some of these teams.

    so, if the C-word gets confirmed, can I change my PTP GC pick please? 😉

    Good question as my GC aspirations are out of the water. Currently considering random breakaway stage wins as the only consolation.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Apparently some riders were viciously attacked some deer
