Yeah I’m sure that’s real huge when he lost a total of 3 minutes in the m mountain to Mas & Roglic 🤣🤣🤣 if dude didn’t win that stage so big he wouldn’t even be involved in the GC
Agreed. It's only 4 seconds but O'Connor was saying, hey, I've got this situation under control. In psychological terms I think his quick sprint was significant. Great race, I can't wait to see tomorrow's.
He is too inconsistent to win GC where you need to be able to do this kind of effort day after day. In his favour tomorrow is a rest day and then the next stage is not big mountains.
@@epincionu are acting like he isn’t consistent bcuz he had a bad day, everyone has bad days. If u are consistent enough to podium tdf you can win a vuelta
just got back from Granada and the temperatures are insane. I often cycle in place where I go on holiday but it wouldn't even cross my mind to ride in such heat and sun exposure. They really should move the Vuelta to a more mild month.
Loving this Vuelta so far! I think what makes it so interesting and is causing so many big GC changes is the lack of team strength for all of the GC players. There is no team that can dictate the pace for the whole stage, nor is there a clear GC favorite so all teams are sort of looking at each other when e.g. Carapaz goes on the offense. Strongest team beforehand was UAE but they are nowhere (even with Yates winning today I don’t see him really riding for the podium). BORA is quite strong on paper but with Martinez and Vlasov being unpredictable Roglic isn’t directing his team to take the front like in the Jumbo days. The other teams don’t have big strength in numbers anyway. I think O’Connor, Yates and Carapaz were able to take back so much time due to the hesitation and bit of bluff poker between the big teams.
LR & Benji were discussing - maybe after the Tour? - whether it would be better if teams were smaller, and I feellike this Vuelta is suggesting it might be. Despite the lack of obviously smaller teams
Yep I was thinking this when watching. What a vuelta so far! Teammates have been really critical at times, but not in the big numbers that lets anyone dictate stages.
So Happy fpr Yates. He is a team player working as a Super domestique for Tadje and letting his legs and heart do the talking when given a green light.
If you follow Yates brothers closely, you will know that they don’t really show raw emotions on TV. This is a pure exception! Adam was visibly emotional today! This means a lot to him. 🎉🎉
yeah i'm watching that on quest out of habit, but it pales in comparison to these power-packed recaps. same with the giro (also the discovery/eurosport/gcn team - at least the tour is on itv for the proper telly coverage & 'studio'/comms team
The peloton on this Vuelta doesn’t care about breakaways. No matter who is in it. They just mind their own business, which is to not overheat. And there’s a TdF peloton, hungry and protective as fuck, which won’t let almost anyone make a move 😂.
In my opinion, What has to be assessed is that it was Primoz Roglic who made the effort yesterday and not his teammate, who should have won today's stage so that O'Connor wouldn't get a time bonus. Roglic manages by saving energy.
Lipowitz did most of the work in the last 60 km and should have also won the sprint? Very interesting view. Roglic should have tried to get P3 but didn't have the legs yesterday.
Without Jonas or Pogi, it’s really the Wild West for gc. Six minutes to O’Connor the other day, nearly 4 minutes for Yates today. This race is all over the place
Even without Jonas or Pog it normally isnt this chaotic. Been super interesting to watch. It's nice to have the feeling that anything could happen after a fairly cut and dry Giro and Tour
I dont think uae are done riding like that. Individual talent is top more so than balanced team. In a good spot. Nice to see vine riding strong again. Soler pulled massive put a minute into gc. Vuelta bringing all the surprises. Happy for yates
All the Primoz euphoria has suddenly evaporated! Yates attacking was always the plan for UAE! Not a coincidence Yates suddenly found form! Almeida’s podium slot was quickly recaptured by his buddy Yates! Again, Yates attacking was set up by his sandbagging early stages!
Mas could have taken time if he hadn't slipped out. They probably caught him at the end cause he had flashbacks of his 2022 downhill nightmares. Also great job letting Yates come back Bora.
I disagree, Mas crested with a minute gap and given that Yates lost two minutes to Group Roglič from the top of Hazallanas to the finish I think he was getting caught with or without his moment. He may even have been saved from a more painful, last KM catch.
I do worry that Carapaz since he was second at the Giro in 22, has had 5 major stage races, and best position is 7th, and that doesn't include 4 DNFs. His best stage race performance was 2nd in the Tour of Colombia this February. Having said that he has won 4 GT stages in that time, but it doesn't look like the sort of form to challenge Mas, Landa and Roglic over another 12 stages.
Hanging out amidst so many other languages and among non-native speakers can play havoc with your accent. The technical term is L1 attrition (L1 = First Language) and another symptom is forgetting words in your L1.
He hears English with a spanish accent all day long so he subconsciously adapts to be understood better. There is a hilarious interview where Jason Sancho does the exact same and speaks in an awful German accent during his time in Dortmund.
@@desryan1603 the things you learn on TH-cam. Understandable phenomenon, but interesting that it’s happened so strongly with Yates considering he spent so long with ostensibly Australian and British based teams .
Boras tactics are absolutely mindboggling. After Lipowitz missed O Connor go three days ago, they had to do more to chase. This time letting Yates go unmarked, letting the lead balloon up to 6 minutes.. still 4 Minutes behind. Even with all the climbs coming... I dont get it
Bora did a good move in letting Yates into the GC picture. UAE and Decathlon are going to have to fight it out the second week and do all the work while Bora sits on their wheel. The third week Roglic can fly up some cat 1 and HC up hill finishes.
Thanks Pat for the excellent review. Roglic said afterward that he 'did not have legs' which is a bit ominous for Bora. Clearly the superhuman effort yesterday to gain a stage win and also take one minute off the lead of Ben O'Connor took a lot out of him but a top quality GC rider needs to be able to recover fast overnight after a hard stage. He is getting older (34) and that will be a factor in not recovering as fast as when he was younger. GC Kuss is not present at La Vuelta this year but super-domestique Kuss is present based on his phenomenal pull for WVA yesterday. He certainly is mixing it with the GC group but cannot break into the top 10 let alone top 5.
I am troubled why they allow some spectators to (what we assume) pour water onto some of the riders ? BTW he did listen (Yates) as i ran alongside him for a few seconds screaming my advice, glad he took it and I am also famous now as I was seen for just over 3 seconds so waiting for the call from breakfast lies, opps I mean TV.
There’s been a lot of talk about the temperature and how much these guys are suffering. There was even a bit where the fire brigade were dousing the peloton so I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a spray of water
it's definitely the former (as a brit pronouncing a british name) but in LR's world it's the latter - but inconsistently throughout the vid to wind up the moaners!!
Yates must have been delusional at the end...and I mean that in the nicest way possible! God knows what the final standings are going to look like. The big three have to be looking at this race and thinking, thank you, no.
Carapaz is a better climber than Roglic, who should be worried. Unfortunately for Carapaz, there are a lot of unipuerto stages that suit Roglic, with bonus-seconds on offer
@@joerossa1112 well they send both jonas and primoz to win the race, see how pathetic they look at the final stages of the vuelta 2023 because they can't keep winning more stages.
Whoever is the director for Bora needs to be fired as soon as possible. How on earth do they let Yates back to GC ....don't they have a telly to get watch what unfolds and to react immediately!!
Yates is too inconsistent, same as Carapaz. They both do well for one stage, than five stages losing time. That's how they resurrect they GC positions.
@@margaritastoyanova9253 not in that aspect. Previous stage the awarded the lead GC guy 5 minutes into Roglic. A guy who finished top five in the previous grand tours. The next stage, the team let's potential GC contenders into the completion again.
Respect Ricky Carapaz and Adam Yates. Roglic is a joke. When was the last time he actually started a prolonged attack rather than being carried home in a group and then sprinting? Not in 10 years
yeah and picking out fun little things that nobody else noticed on the roadside/in the bunch i guess his workload is much bigger these days and with the poddy and all the rest, prob turnaround time just too short for extras
How did Mas managed to lose 1 minute on 6 kilometers flat and a descent? Too bad, this Vuelta could be his big chance to win. Roglic and Bora don't look so strong.
That attack from carapaz to try and bridge to the leaders from the peloton was incredible. He was something like 4.5 minutes back when he launched!
Letting Yates back in the GC picture is wild, well done Bora
Its not just Bora, every single gc team should not let this happen
yup thats a big no no, Yates is a monster. All he needs is hope of GC and boom, burners turned on.
Great win. Yates won't be allowed to go free again.

I think he said that to distract his competition. I bet we see him start riding for GC over the next few days
