What happened to Gall today?
Looks like he backed up his team's support for dropping his leader the other day in favour of his own GC ambitions by completely tanking.
Presume there's more to it than that and a DNS for COVID will follow?

Roglic has been given a 20 second penalty for spending too long behind the team car. Is that a bit lenient?

When did he do that? Watched a bit of the start andthe finale

I'd guess after switching bikes. He caught up very quickly.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Yes, no mechanical, planned bike change, two teammates with him, and still used the car.

Not sure why you wouldn't just have a decent sized cassette on your original bike with the double chainset, then there'd be no need to change bikes.

Penalty well deserved in my opinion, they banked on getting away with and got slapped.
Nothing against riders or team, but it’s taking the piss to have changed the bike tactically, then ridden tactically by riding as fast as they could (😉) by drafting the team car.

Roglic got a 20 sec penalty for drafting a car ... luckiy it wasn't more

He is a former U23 Spanish TT champion and was 21st on the opening stage of this Vuelta, so presumably not terrible.

20 seconds is the lowest possible time penalty the regulations allows.
"CHF 200 fine, 20%** penalty in the points and mountains classifications and/or 20 second to 5 minute penalty per infringement and 15 points from UCI rankings and/or yellow card"

Felix Gall's twenty six minute time loss was apparently due to getting dropped on the descent of the Cat 1 with a couple of others and never made it back to the peloton.
That's a lad who is so much better going up than going down

That's a shame, I thought he might fall from a building or roll a brand new car, cause he's the unknown domestique who made O'Connor such a star.

If you want context then I'd say the full length of the last climb so, 24 kms?

I can't remember if that'll include Roglic's bike swap and "rapid" re-joining.

I ended up going back 30 minutes beyond that point, maybe 32km, but it did definitely include the swap, and it was an entertaining stage. Castrillo was phenomenal.
