Kudos to rogla , the man had suffered a million crashes and mental hits, but the guy just never surrender and fight with kids who all have 8 o 6 years less than him , and we all know how hard is to compite with someone younger, the bloke is a real champ
I'm not surprised by this given the crash Remco had on Stage 12. The physical toll a crash takes on your body starts to show after a few days, whether its the pain or the amount of energy your body uses up trying to recover. Stage 15 will be huge, as if Remco can limit the losses before a rest day he may have enough to hold on through week 3 but I think Roglic and TJV have to really go for it
This. People who downplay the effects of even a minor crash have never tasted pavement. It’s hard to sleep, and thus impacts recovery. It distracts mentally. And obviously there’s an impact to performance. Even if that impact is very small, this is a game of tiny percentages.
Agree, but I think if you want to win a grand tour you have to be able to get over it. This means over the mental stress and minor injuries, if he is severly injured it is something different. I think top 3 gc riders in this years tour had their bad/unlucky moments, but were not majorly affected by them or found a way out. Don't want to make that a remco is not tough enough reply, but I think you won't win a grand tour where every day is going for you. If he is majorly injured it is a different story. Today I think he made the best out of a bad situation.
Agree and when in a grand tour the body is already right on the limit. The smallest issues health wise are magnified. Impact to sleep, soft tissue, rib and joint pain. That crash in a moment of distraction might well have cost him the GT.
Remco seems to be paying the price of overspending energy, but also suffering stiffness from the crash. All in all, damage limited today. If he keeps it limited tomorrow, it’s still looking good
It's looking good for Roglic. He had a difficult back injury on Tour and now he's better and better every day. On top of all, he didn't have any training on height in comparison with Remco. Rogla underestimated by the masses, he's still one of the best overall.
@@HARDSTYLEy indeed, and tomorrow its a good ol climb to +2200 m elevation, tomorrow well see who are the climbers that are most fit in this vuelta and the best opportunity for primoz to bridge back those 2 minutes on remco, he still has a couple of climbs to gain assuming remco is indeed cracked... or just had a bad day today.
@@HARDSTYLEy he still will never win a TDF though, as great as he was he always choked in the decisive moment, imo he starting to fade, don't see'm competing against the top dogs anymore, the Vingegaards,pogis, van aerts and so on...
@@Xinergy I’m all fairness, WVA didn’t try for GC so why not give up some time when he rode for Green and Jonas? But obviously, WVA a bit too heavy for a podium
Remco was looking super strong last 2 weeks, but again, that is only two weeks. There is still a full week left and I just don't think he can hang on. Maybe that's why he tried taking as much time as he could, but who knows. Take it when you can get it, but have to hang in the whole three weeks as well.
Yeah, Lopez not really losing time in the time trial was surreal. I mainly remembered him from the 2020 Tour when he started the final time trial in 3rd and got passed by both Pogacar and Roglic. His form is insane.
@@stefanjoeres7149 He's had a couple of time trials like that, he should be a regular GT podium finisher, but he needs to figure out how to avoid his regular bad days
Rogla was not great at beginning of Vuelta but seems his form is coming around...dont kid yourself if Rogla gets to his best as great as Remco is he can't compete...Remco has great sustained power but if you ramp up tempo and then do a 20-30min max effort he will not stay with good form Rogla...the real questions is how can Rogla bring back another approx 2min if not on Sierra Nevada?
He doesn’t need to bring back 2 mins on Nevada he needs to take a minute from remco and then 30 seconds on 18&20 more than doable especially if remco shows the same form he did today primoz will easily take a minute or more
That is just complete bullshit though, Remco on Pico Jano did a performance Roglic never did, not even at his best times. Remco with such form doesn't just stay in Roglic's wheel today, but again rides away. Remco just cracked today, simple as that. The main question now is whether this will happen again or if it is just one bad day. What is interesting is that once the gap was established, Remco barely lost time on the easier going section, exactly what the Sierra Nevada is after that first hard 5km. It is actually funny that people keep doing the same thing. First with Pogacar they said it is over after the first TdF week, then they said the same with this vuelta after Remco being so dominant and now again people act like Remco is done after one bad day. It is the equivalent of saying that Roglic was completely done after Pico Jano. We now first need to see how Remco is tomorrow to say anything usefull, does he crack again or not?
You could tell Remco wasn’t himself when the Peleton brought the gap down to about 2 mins and then it immediately went back up to 4mins. He must’ve told his guys to slowed down the pace. That’s when the other GC groups must’ve notice he was off cuz they ramped up the pace on the final climb.
LR cracking summary again. This is miles better than just listening to the Eurosport summary as it provides the breakdown of the moves and implications. Would love to see Roglic come from behind after the TDF but would all love to see Repsol put in his first grand tour victory. Cracking race.
Heard on G’s podcast once that sometimes they would sometimes pace hard to hide a weak day for Froome. Goal was to make competitors think he must be feeling good for his team to go this hard so I’d better not try attacking today. Maybe this was what Quickstep was thinking?
LR Thanks a bunch, your videos are awesome This two great cyclists, Remco and Roglic 👏😚👏😘 love them, uuuuppyyyyyyyyyyyyyysss for both, also for Juan Ayuso doble uuuupppssssyyyys, he's doing great, 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 keep it up bebé I will see you later 🤩🤩 Best wishes from Norway, Ciao Ciao 🇧🇻🌟🇧🇻🌠🇧🇻💫🇧🇻🌃🇧🇻
remco will win a grand tour. however he will face huge pressure on these big steep hard climbs where traditional gc riders like rogla thrive. going to be a thrilling stage tomorrow with that huge mountaintop finish up to altitude
@@HARDSTYLEy going to be a great stage, was remco saving himself for the harder stage, or can he just not handle these steeper gradients like the established gc men can, interesting to see what his week 3 performance will bring as we’ve never seen him in races this long
@@ethanfoy4264 He lost like 50 seconds. I doubt he saved himself for tomorrow. He probably did not feel that good. To win GC, Roglic has to crack him tomorrow and gain like 2 minutes on him. Seems close to impossible to me.
@@ethanfoy4264 exactly... But i really doubt he was saving himself for other stages and letting lose time to his main competitor for GC. Idk, we'll see. It'll be fun :)
Great thing.....for a moment I thought it was all over....but after this stage Remco will be attacked by Roglic, Mas and all others having a good day!!!
Tomorrow is going to be awesome. I think most people expected Remco to have at least one bad day in the mountains. I don’t think most of those people, myself included thought he would have such a big lead when that day finally happened. Now it’s all a matter of can Remco survive tomorrow and limit the losses in order to make it to week 3 in the red jersey. I wonder if he just accepts the he’s going to lose time on Sierra Nevada and let’s the gc guy’s do their own thing from the base of the climb, while he rides the climb to power.
Don't throw Remco away yet, everyone has a bad day, if that was his bad day, he did okay. There are so many factors to take into account, I agree he looked in a bit of trouble, but could be a feeding issue or just a day of bad legs. He came back towards the end. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Today will be the decider though.
Looks like the repetition of the Col du Granon Tour de France stage, when Vingegaard attack Pogacar, who tries to resist but at the end is dropped by many of the Gc guys...
The difference is that Remco got his pace and therefore limited the damage. Losing 20 seconds to Mas is no problem and 48 seconds to Roglic isnt Grand Tour defining either.
@LanterneRouge could you do a post race analysis of the junior mens road race when it happens this year? It would be a great and entertaining video and would get lots of views as a large proportion of your fan base are juniors
I smiled and thumbed up your comment before clicking the timestamp as I knew exactly what bit you'd be referring to (without knowing/remembering where that was in the vid).😄
Primoz smelling blood now, orfull high tomorrow over 2500 meters. Jumbo will Go on full attack. Impressed by Almeida New bicycle from neutral service. Passed Remco on it. Mads P said it should be a quiet Day, got 20 point in the sprint yeah Real quiet🤣🤣😜🔝❤️
finally La Vuelta looking like La Vuelta... remco cracking, Mas bonking, Ayuso suffers from CVD side effects... ? is red rogla coming tomorrow? is Lopez in superman form for the Queen stage? Does Richie steam engine go on and ineos probably regretting not playing around Carapaz? I like the turns that today's stage has put on the table of La vuelta finally the Spanish Spice Flavor!
What's intriguing is this seems like we're seeing Roglic find his form midway through a G.T. This could get interesting if he's feeling well tomorrow. If it doesn't go to the break tomorrow I'll take the easy pick with Superman Lopez. lol and Rog to take back another 1:20.
Remco did fine today. It’s 2d day after crash, usually the worst day. But tomorrow is an even harder day. He might crack big time tomorrow. Or it’s 3d day after crash, he cd be better tomorrow. In past he has tended to fade. But here at this vuelta he has looked to be a cut above of what he was b f. Roglic by contrast has history of getting stronger in 3d week but fading on v last day. No one knows. Remco still an unknown question. We have to wait and see. Remember roglic likely changing teams. Roglic needs this win. Remco needs it too tho, to shut up guys like Merckx and wva
@@nielcutter3804 He is really good with power-to-weight, but he may not have the endurance for a three-week stage race that is packed with long, steep climbs. He also burns his matches too freely and that costs anyone over time without having an extended rest period.
@@nielcutter3804 Depends, is this a one off bad day or a trend? Is it a normal bad day off or maybe caused by the injury from the crash? Still too many unknowns to say for sure. He definitely did great w/kg performances last week (better or as good as Pog and Rog at peak) and he has a better ITT. Endurance is still the question mark with him currently, but even if that isn't there yet, it can still come.
Keep in mind this is remco's 1st grand tour with a legit year of training behind him not like the giro last year. This will be a good learning curve for future grand tours.
@@losFondos Then why would you care? If you cared that much you'd be watching live, if you couldn't but still cared then you wouldn't be coming to YT to catch-up, you'd be on the GCN+ app or something. If all you wanted was brief highlights/analysis then how can it spoil it for you, as you're not about to watch the final climb uninterrupted? Besides, knowing what the title gives away hardly covers much of what went on in a stage, let alone in this case who even won it.
@@ManWalksDogs because I wanted to catch up on Sunday. I came to TH-cam for a completely different reason. Spoiling the results/content of anything on the same day it's a dick move, there could me plenty of reasons why someone is not able to watch it immediately. Time zones, for example. It's not up to you to decide when I need to watch cycling and I don't want to argue further with you. Enjoy the rest of this Vuelta.
@@losFondos fair enough you were on YT for something else, I wasn't arguing about when, my issue was where and also that it doesn't spoil anything anyway!!
Carapaz moving to EF means it’s doubtful he’ll ever win a grand tour again. If he’s happier to be a stage hunter that’s fine. However, if he’s really ambitious he won’t stay at EF for long.
Doesn't matter, he's always in for some unexpected and exciting racing. Olympic road race win was epic. His TT is his weakness compared to all other GC contenders right now, so unlikely to win another GC
It's the 'Slovenian Edge' (as Gotcha has this as well!). It must 'trip' the air in just the best way, even when only going uphill at 20 KPH to give them an advantage! LOL
Because in the Youth Classification after Remco who's wearing the red Jersey, it's Rodriguez who choses instead to wear his national champion jersey, which is allowed by UCI rules, so in this case the white jersey passes to the rider who's 3rd overall, Ayuso.
@@EgelundB I am still trying to figure out how ANY great climbers come out of The Netherlands! Yes, they have had a few in the past (Joop comes to mind going way back), but it is a bit perplexing, even given the 'proper' pure climber's power to weight, and 'build'. I guess enough training/training camps in the mountains will do it given everything else being great (said build and power to weight), even coming from a dead flat country??
Surprised nobody mentioned the crosswinds before the coverage started where Ayuso was caught out 🤔 LR in pain rn having to plot Remco’s downfall for Jumbo Van Wilder actually did a really strong pull reducing the group to around riders Arensman was unreal today , cycling’s future is bright 🌟
I just don’t like Enric Mas and Miguel sat on. They could have done more damage working together. Ayuso was also not working with Remco. Everyone seems to be quite on their own.
Because it's just Evenepoel and Roglic and the Spanish riders, Mas, Rodriguez and Ayuso. Don´t forget we're in La Vuelta so everybody else unless in the break or winning stages deserve much coverage. Even LR in his summary overlooked Almeida, said that nothing changed after this stage at GC standings when Almeida took the 6th place from Kelderman so...
@@XavierHipolito Yes sure it was, but there isn't a bike with a camera for every single rider, so they have to chose, it only makes sense that they would focus in Carapaz, Roglic and Mal and the red Jersey. Almeida ended up being in no one's land riding alone between Roglic/Mal and Evenepoel/Ayuso. In the last 3k. We also didn't have much coverage from Rodriguez for the same reasons.
Almeida doing his own pacing again within his limits, the result? He comes forth after Roglic. It seems he will never win a GT but will always be good domestique in the high mountain doing his steady pace.
Don't be so sure, unless he his already at the top of his game, which i doubt being only 24 years old. He is not even at his peak form at this Vuelta, just like every single GC rider that is doing Giro/Vuelta this year, in fact he's the stronger rider of them all, not counting MAL, because he only did 4 stages at the Giro before DNF. Besides he had covid and only started resuming his training 1 month after the end of the Giro. He could win a GT if he's on peak form and doesn't have to fight against the 1st class tier of GC riders (Poga, Vinge, Roglic) and perhaps Bernal (not sure after his injuries) and Evenepoel (not proven yet in 3 weeks). All the other top GC riders (Carapaz, Hindley, Landa, Bardet, Yates brothers, Gaudu, O'Connor, MAL, Vlasov, Thomas, Almeida) are at some extent, very close in potential, so the diference between them is made by the form that they have in the moment they are competing and their teams strength, so it can go anywhere.
Like clockwork.. Evenepoel seems to only have 10days to 2 weeks in him.. at an insane level, but 2wks nonetheless.. plus elevation.. plus steepness.. think it’s mostly down elevation + 2wks in legs though 🤷🏽♂️ He even mentioned it in interview about Tour de Suisses.. high elevation appears to be his Achilles heel…
That could pose a problem if he ever wants to try for the Hour Record on the Aguascalientes wooden bowl, unless he acclimates to that altitude over time. (Or just go to much lower elevation Grenchen for the attempt, like others have. 😉)
Hot days and cold nights too. They can deal with temperature changes. I've seen 29 C during the day and dropping to -4 C in the wee hours at 4.200 m amsl.
Kudos to rogla , the man had suffered a million crashes and mental hits, but the guy just never surrender and fight with kids who all have 8 o 6 years less than him , and we all know how hard is to compite with someone younger, the bloke is a real champ

I'm not surprised by this given the crash Remco had on Stage 12. The physical toll a crash takes on your body starts to show after a few days, whether its the pain or the amount of energy your body uses up trying to recover. Stage 15 will be huge, as if Remco can limit the losses before a rest day he may have enough to hold on through week 3 but I think Roglic and TJV have to really go for it

Agree and when in a grand tour the body is already right on the limit. The smallest issues health wise are magnified. Impact to sleep, soft tissue, rib and joint pain. That crash in a moment of distraction might well have cost him the GT.
I am so excited for tomorrow 🔥

What's intriguing is this seems like we're seeing Roglic find his form midway through a G.T. This could get interesting if he's feeling well tomorrow.
If it doesn't go to the break tomorrow I'll take the easy pick with Superman Lopez. lol and Rog to take back another 1:20.
Remco did fine today. It’s 2d day after crash, usually the worst day.
But tomorrow is an even harder day. He might crack big time tomorrow. Or it’s 3d day after crash, he cd be better tomorrow. In past he has tended to fade. But here at this vuelta he has looked to be a cut above of what he was b f. Roglic by contrast has history of getting stronger in 3d week but fading on v last day.
No one knows. Remco still an unknown question. We have to wait and see.
Remember roglic likely changing teams. Roglic needs this win. Remco needs it too tho, to shut up guys like Merckx and wva
ayuso about to call Pogi about those "fucking tires"
How's your confidence in Remco's Vuelta represented as a horse?
The kid still has a lot to proove honestly. Idk why these folks called him as if better than Roglic or Poga or any other .
@@nielcutter3804 He is really good with power-to-weight, but he may not have the endurance for a three-week stage race that is packed with long, steep climbs. He also burns his matches too freely and that costs anyone over time without having an extended rest period.
@@nielcutter3804 Depends, is this a one off bad day or a trend? Is it a normal bad day off or maybe caused by the injury from the crash? Still too many unknowns to say for sure.
He definitely did great w/kg performances last week (better or as good as Pog and Rog at peak) and he has a better ITT. Endurance is still the question mark with him currently, but even if that isn't there yet, it can still come.
Keep in mind this is remco's 1st grand tour with a legit year of training behind him not like the giro last year. This will be a good learning curve for future grand tours.
Rogla ♥️♥️
Great content, but why spoil the results in the title the same day of the stage?
99.9% of people watching this know the result already
@@mmmbass6068 I wasn't looking for this video, it appeared in my TH-cam suggestions
@@losFondos Then why would you care? If you cared that much you'd be watching live, if you couldn't but still cared then you wouldn't be coming to YT to catch-up, you'd be on the GCN+ app or something. If all you wanted was brief highlights/analysis then how can it spoil it for you, as you're not about to watch the final climb uninterrupted? Besides, knowing what the title gives away hardly covers much of what went on in a stage, let alone in this case who even won it.
@@ManWalksDogs because I wanted to catch up on Sunday. I came to TH-cam for a completely different reason. Spoiling the results/content of anything on the same day it's a dick move, there could me plenty of reasons why someone is not able to watch it immediately. Time zones, for example. It's not up to you to decide when I need to watch cycling and I don't want to argue further with you. Enjoy the rest of this Vuelta.
@@losFondos fair enough you were on YT for something else, I wasn't arguing about when, my issue was where and also that it doesn't spoil anything anyway!!
Not a strain on the face of winning Carapaz after holding Roglic away for 3 k’s
tomorrow is the defining day
Carapaz always have the shape of a superchampion! Evenpoel should take care of his final powerness!
Carapaz moving to EF means it’s doubtful he’ll ever win a grand tour again. If he’s happier to be a stage hunter that’s fine. However, if he’s really ambitious he won’t stay at EF for long.
Doubt he'll have good GC battle again
Doesn't matter, he's always in for some unexpected and exciting racing. Olympic road race win was epic. His TT is his weakness compared to all other GC contenders right now, so unlikely to win another GC
@@madmonkeycycling9098 That’s kinda my point.
those tiny hair coming out from roglic's helmet somehow gives little bit of plutonium to generate thermonuclear performance edge.
It's the 'Slovenian Edge' (as Gotcha has this as well!).
It must 'trip' the air in just the best way, even when only going uphill at 20 KPH to give them an advantage! LOL
Am I being stupid? Why does Ayuso have the white jersey and not Rodriguez?
Because in the Youth Classification after Remco who's wearing the red Jersey, it's Rodriguez who choses instead to wear his national champion jersey, which is allowed by UCI rules, so in this case the white jersey passes to the rider who's 3rd overall, Ayuso.
@@pedrovitorut ah okay, that makes sense!
Nice show
RemCOOKED
I keep reading/hearing that as Panaderia. Not hungry, but I'd want to get there first anyway!
Why is carlos rodriguez not wearing white jearsy?
u sounded possessed at 5:28
Big daddy vibes from Rogla today
Arensman is going to be a big one! Give him 2 or 3 more years!
And hopefully on another team 😅
@@EgelundB Goes to Ineos next year.
@@EgelundB Called it haha
@@RubenTheCartographer Those 2 or 3 years went quite fast haha, that victory had to come sooner or later. What a rider!
@@EgelundB I am still trying to figure out how ANY great climbers come out of The Netherlands!
Yes, they have had a few in the past (Joop comes to mind going way back), but it is a bit perplexing, even given the 'proper' pure climber's power to weight, and 'build'.
I guess enough training/training camps in the mountains will do it given everything else being great (said build and power to weight), even coming from a dead flat country??
Was always going to happen. Rog is a prime 3 week guy and Remco shot his wad too early in the Tour.
Better to take as much time as possible when you have good legs than to wait for others to take time on you
Over a minute and a half ahead… and behind
Up the Jumbo Visma boys 🌕🌑🌕
Surprised nobody mentioned the crosswinds before the coverage started where Ayuso was caught out 🤔
LR in pain rn having to plot Remco’s downfall for Jumbo
Van Wilder actually did a really strong pull reducing the group to around riders
Arensman was unreal today , cycling’s future is bright 🌟
I just don’t like Enric Mas and Miguel sat on. They could have done more damage working together.
Ayuso was also not working with Remco. Everyone seems to be quite on their own.
Mas was literally on his limit. Lopez helped at the end. Ayuso has no reason to work with Remco imo
You will never see Mas pulling. That’s the way he is. He’s just a top 5 Vuelta a España rider.
now it's getting interesting :D
Seems Remco is doing a Yates from the Giro.
Pogo vs Rogo vs Remco, bring it on
There's this new guy - Vingo - you might want to check him out.
Roglic en Remco have no chance against Pogacar and Vingegaard
C’mon Remco!!
A couple more of those and It's gonna be a race. Doubt he'll Crack that bad again, but maybe.
For a second I thought you were being exorcised when You started talking about Ayuso. Hope ur ok.
The spectacular j vine mia
Rest day will help Remco...but the coming week will be a good one for cycling fans.
Almieda could be the dark horse...
Roglic today destroy Evenepool again :P Will be very close in GC before last stages.
I was scratching my head at the Ineos move as well...putting the stage win at risk, for what?
5:29 with headphones almost made me shit myself
Can we lose a few motorbikes? Ridiculous numbers at times.
Someone tell me how João Almeida did 4th and no cameras showing his climb....WTF
Because it's just Evenepoel and Roglic and the Spanish riders, Mas, Rodriguez and Ayuso. Don´t forget we're in La Vuelta so everybody else unless in the break or winning stages deserve much coverage. Even LR in his summary overlooked Almeida, said that nothing changed after this stage at GC standings when Almeida took the 6th place from Kelderman so...
@@pedrovitorut It makes no sense for me, don't understand. This was the most amazing stage with all that gaps and 0 cameras...
@@XavierHipolito Yes sure it was, but there isn't a bike with a camera for every single rider, so they have to chose, it only makes sense that they would focus in Carapaz, Roglic and Mal and the red Jersey. Almeida ended up being in no one's land riding alone between Roglic/Mal and Evenepoel/Ayuso. In the last 3k. We also didn't have much coverage from Rodriguez for the same reasons.
@@pedrovitorut true
death defying descent
Almeida doing his own pacing again within his limits, the result? He comes forth after Roglic. It seems he will never win a GT but will always be good domestique in the high mountain doing his steady pace.
Don't be so sure, unless he his already at the top of his game, which i doubt being only 24 years old. He is not even at his peak form at this Vuelta, just like every single GC rider that is doing Giro/Vuelta this year, in fact he's the stronger rider of them all, not counting MAL, because he only did 4 stages at the Giro before DNF. Besides he had covid and only started resuming his training 1 month after the end of the Giro. He could win a GT if he's on peak form and doesn't have to fight against the 1st class tier of GC riders (Poga, Vinge, Roglic) and perhaps Bernal (not sure after his injuries) and Evenepoel (not proven yet in 3 weeks). All the other top GC riders (Carapaz, Hindley, Landa, Bardet, Yates brothers, Gaudu, O'Connor, MAL, Vlasov, Thomas, Almeida) are at some extent, very close in potential, so the diference between them is made by the form that they have in the moment they are competing and their teams strength, so it can go anywhere.
i would be scared shitzless about tomorrow if i were remco.
u sounded like ur medication was wearing off on u at 5:28
Don't underestimate Remco's resilience. He took a serious blow to his right leg and knee..
Don't underestimate Roglic. He near fractured three vertebrates and was attacking Pogacar for stage win
@@Shadowboost He was feigning leadership, didn't have the legs to win
Remco is due to throw a fit soon
@@Mitchwk 😂
Like clockwork.. Evenepoel seems to only have 10days to 2 weeks in him.. at an insane level, but 2wks nonetheless.. plus elevation.. plus steepness.. think it’s mostly down elevation + 2wks in legs though 🤷🏽♂️ He even mentioned it in interview about Tour de Suisses.. high elevation appears to be his Achilles heel…
That could pose a problem if he ever wants to try for the Hour Record on the Aguascalientes wooden bowl, unless he acclimates to that altitude over time.
(Or just go to much lower elevation Grenchen for the attempt, like others have. 😉)
hallo from slovenia
I think Ayuso helped Rrrrrrremco salvage a decent result.
By being in the wheel?
Hollywood Carapaz
5:29 Lanterne Rouge's rendition of a steroidal attack in mid-race. Children, do not take EPOs!
Champousin say waaaa!! 😂😂😂😂
Here to listen what kind of bs is thrown to Carapaz. Hate the game, not the player.
ineo tthe new movistar
Sierra De la CARAPAndera
Carapaz: South American Sierra Killer, that boy can climb!
Hot days and cold nights too. They can deal with temperature changes. I've seen 29 C during the day and dropping to -4 C in the wee hours at 4.200 m amsl.
Go Remco
As i said before... Remco is not stage racer... He is one day racer
Hahaha
López puede intentar ganar la etapa mañana
Podría ser. Pero creo que Carapaz no está terminada en su buscada de victorias de etapa.
