Mostly due to O'Connor taking significant time on stage 6 and wearing red for 13 stages, otherwise Roglic would have been in red for the majority of the Tour and it would have been a bit of a procession.
It actually was the worst... you knew who would win from the start, despite him not care about it or being really that superior. Every mountainstage won by the break, Wout crashing out, f*cking annoying grand tour. God bless we have Pogacar these times.
Ben O'connor rode a super smart stage always at his own tempo. Didn't close attacks straight away unlike when he was in red he flawlessly defended his position on the podium today.
@@l.d.t.6327 BEEN saying this the entire time.. Kid's a nightmare - not in a good way. When / do you reckon he'll learn.. Kinda hoping he pulls a Vingo 23 ITT out his r's. And gets close / maybe even snatches the Jersey back. Give the lad some confidence maybe
@@TheFlowZoneX It's very hard to understand he always tried to follow wheels. The first time he was dropped, OK, he was probably trying to play the mental game by pretending he wasn't going to crack, but once Roglic knew he would crack on the next uphill finishes, BOC kept making the same mistake. Still hard to see him winning with better support / a better tactical / pacing plan, but it could have been closer.
After 18 Stages, Ben O'Connor looks so strange without the Red Jersey! Best of luck tomorrow, my friend. Go AweStralia, Go! Oh well Second Place is GREAT! At lease you Ben O'Connor did not defend La Vuelta title in utter disgrace! Celebrate, my friend, and sleep well! Well Done!
Roglic clearly was the strongest rider this Vuelta.....and had the team to support his ambitions!!!! Congratulations..you are up there with Roberto Heras!!!!
People can say whatever they want about BOC but a 4th place in the TDF , a 4th place in the Giro and likely a podium in la vuelta is a pretty strong resume. Can we say he has been the best rider outside of Bardet AG2R has had in terms of GC results?
@@mitjapavlic7656 ...znanstvena fantastika za katero koli državo ampak za Slovenijo pa ne obstaja besede , ki opiše ta nor dosežek....Giro,TDF in Vuelta v Sloveniji 2024, saj to je👽👽👽👽💪💪😎😎🙏🙏👏👏✌️👍❤️...res sem ponosen,da sem Slovenec....SLOVENIA RULES!!!!
Really nice to see BOC growing as a leader and GC rider, not (again) following the absolute top riders and seeing his legs exploding, but riding his own tempo and defending his second place!
Dunbar looks so strong. I hope Jayco can pair Dunbar and O’Conor in the TDF next year. Probably still not going to make it to the podium but will be entertaining for sure! Two smart riders.
Once it was clear they wouldn't dislodge Roglic, I'm surprised that Mas and Carapaz didn't work together to put time on O'Connor. Mas probably could have won the stage, as well, which would have been huge for him and for Movistar.
Thanks Pat, great summary. Fairytale come true for Dunbar. O'Conner a deserved second place. Jayco having a good day with Dunbar winning and O'Conner joining them next season.
Chapeau Ben O'Conner. He had to dig deep almost every mountain stage but not only did he stay on the podium, Mas couldn't even get around him into second
Well done Eddie, 2 wonderful stage wins, great resilience and obviously very happy with Jayco as he is now riding with great belief and confidence in his own abilities…well done again, best of luck in Zurich.
Well done Ben to come through that stage virtually unscathed. Hopefully he'll be able to defend his podium spot in the time trial. I'm reasonably confident that he can. I doubt too many people would feel that would be undeserved.
Soler really seems not to be the smartest guy out there... almost all of his attacks are totally stupid and just by chance one of hundred lead to success; he could have achieved so much more (and be so much more valuable for his team...) if he would use his brain while riding
Chapeau to ALL the riders who "busted their guts" riding in this entertaining but brutal race. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded. Thank you to LR for your insights, humour and respect for the riders. A GT is an amazing sporting event.
he's also better when he doesn't stupidly go into the red to try to follow Roglic. Why did he go stupidly into the red trying to follow Roglic while wearing the jersey, instead of not blowing up, riding his own pace and lose less time?
Pogačar tri Tur de France + Djiro,Roglič četri Vuelte...Sada se vidi koliko je bio jak Roberto Heras koji je na svakom Turu vozio za Lence Armstronga,čestitam svima....Lično ja bi voleo da Roglič osvoji jos neku Vueltu,jer taj rekord ne bi niko i nikad dostigao....
FINALLY BOC! If only.. Had this kid learned this lesson two weeks ago and went his own pace up these climbs. What a frustrating guy he is. Must be torturous being inside this guys brain
Marc Soler's biggest rival is Marc Soler. Never been much of a team player so its surprising he gifted Jay Vine the early KOM points, but then back to the usual chaos by attacking the break! Soler is very unpredictable, rarely understandable but always entertaining.
I didn't know Enric Mas had 12 kids. He also said in an interview that he is supporting with his cycling earnings his parents, grandparents, and cousins, two brothers and a sister. Enric mas has a lot of family.
I think Soler realized that as long as Vine is with him he is not going to win the Jersey. His attacks seemed very early in the climb. I think if you want to go for the stage you'd attack closer to the summit so you'd get a "rest" on the descent
From my perspective it looks so bad that 2 from the same team are riding against eachother as if they were not. Why wouldnt them just cooperate and try to go for the stage sin?
This has been the best GT of 2024. If you guys were making a joke in the live stream, about shortening the Vuelta & Giro by a week I apologize for being stupid. But, when the only interesting stages in the Tour were the sprints, somethings wrong. Roglic had to ride to make up for giving BO 5 minutes, Kern Pharma victories, WVA crash changed the points totally, ED 2 wins. Please feel free to list some highlights of the Tour other than Cav’s win. TP destroyed every breakaway, zzzz. I love mountain stages and breakaways, that was this race. Finally, the adage that the racers make the race. This year this was never more true. TP totally dominated the Giro and Tour. At least the Vuelta was interesting.
Long time tour follower here. This Vuelta provided competition and close results. However, IMO TDF 2024 was raced at a higher overall level and my highlights included UAE's teamwork on the Galibier, the break-through of Eritrean Girmay, the sentimental wins of Bardet, Campenaerts and Turgis, TP's and JV's record-breaking performances on Isola 2000 and the sheer dominance of TP, a superb, generational athlete on the stages he won. Cav 35 was a bonus. Just another perspective from a cycling fan...
Soler clearly wanted the KLM jersey but then he pretended to pull hard for one kilometre before leaving his team-mate alone against the GC guys. This was pathetic.
Well BOC took his chance on Stage 6, didn't crash, was supported by his team and kept at it. I hope it marks a breakout for a rider with talent who may have underachieved so far.
It was reported that someone in the Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe staff had gotten salmonella and is in the hospital, idk how that works but maybe its possible to contract from others in a way?

Soler is clearly a future Movistar DS
He somehow even makes his tactics of racing for points confusing.
Can’t wait. Whatever team he manages will be the most fun team to watch. 😂
one of the best Vuelta's of last years. Chaotic and fun
Mostly due to O'Connor taking significant time on stage 6 and wearing red for 13 stages, otherwise Roglic would have been in red for the majority of the Tour and it would have been a bit of a procession.
Wout crashing out is really the only blight on it
It actually was the worst... you knew who would win from the start, despite him not care about it or being really that superior. Every mountainstage won by the break, Wout crashing out, f*cking annoying grand tour. God bless we have Pogacar these times.
Ah yes because Roglic never crashes out of a grand tour. Pog is worse than this mate!!
Eddie Dunbar perfectly measured his effort his entire attack, they got close so many times but he deserved the win in the end
Ben O'connor rode a super smart stage always at his own tempo. Didn't close attacks straight away unlike when he was in red he flawlessly defended his position on the podium today.
if only he rode like this when in the red jersey...

I’m shocked that he’s actually still second. Well done.

Well he shouldn’t be up there with that doped heras

Jean Christophe Peraud finished the 2014 tour de France in 2nd place.
boc is superman he just need a bunch of climbers
in his team to pull him to the top a set the pace... a very good
team coach will help too.
The best analysis of La Vuelta...helps me to understand cycling more
All 3 tours to Slovenija thats so amazing to see haha 🎉🎉

Martinez and Gamper of Bora both abandoned the race and Denz, also Bora, didn't make the time limit by 54s. Salmonella.
Salmonella? Inexcusable!
😢😢😢😢😢
@@chrisko6439 perfectly timed too. Finally some luck falling Primo's way
Eddie “van Aert” Dunbar winning reduced sprints and mountaintop finishes, TT next of course…
Fantastic stuff from Dunbar! He came to this Vuelta chasing GC, lost that dream, but still came away with his hands full! 🎉
Dunbar looks so strong. I hope Jayco can pair Dunbar and O’Conor in the TDF next year. Probably still not going to make it to the podium but will be entertaining for sure! Two smart riders.
Send them to the Giro
@@Davidakacvier yeah! Probably a better chance for a podium!
They'll also have Chris Harper, Fillipo Zana, Luke Plapp and Koen Bouwman as key support riders next year... on paper a pretty stacked team
Once it was clear they wouldn't dislodge Roglic, I'm surprised that Mas and Carapaz didn't work together to put time on O'Connor. Mas probably could have won the stage, as well, which would have been huge for him and for Movistar.

Really great to see o'Connor race this smart
Chapeau Ben O'Conner. He had to dig deep almost every mountain stage but not only did he stay on the podium, Mas couldn't even get around him into second
These recaps are amazing. I am currently traveling in Asia, so these are perfect to get me up to speed. Love it!
"the first SEVEN categorized climbs were not very difficult..." 🤣
Underrated comment!
Yeah, at the end of one of the hardest grand tours ever!
Well done Eddie, 2 wonderful stage wins, great resilience and obviously very happy with Jayco as he is now riding with great belief and confidence in his own abilities…well done again, best of luck in Zurich.
Carapaz battling with Mas for second place in GC, and thus risking finishing fourth
Took me taking a trip to Germany to finally watch this right after it is uploaded.
Great Video!

Source of your statement???
@@ernestkrajnc6412 What part of my comment do I need to provide a source for and why? My comment is an expression of my opinion.
@@gustaaf1892Sorry, my comment should be on another theme... 😢 Tipo...
@@gustaaf1892 and for what it is worth, I agree with you. IMO your statement was simply good sportsmanship.
I can’t believe Primoz is 35. Time flies
0:33 The H is always silent in Spanish, so it is in-oo-MAH-nahs, with the "oo" part as in "moon", not as in "book".
Vine said Soler was aiming to wear the other breakaway riders down for Vine to get the last big points
sure. That's why Vine had to sprint for dear life on that penultimate climb to take the jersey from Soler.
Soler really seems not to be the smartest guy out there... almost all of his attacks are totally stupid and just by chance one of hundred lead to success; he could have achieved so much more (and be so much more valuable for his team...) if he would use his brain while riding
Solerism 😂
I wouldn't trust him for betting odds, but he'll still win the lottery some day
Chapeau to ALL the riders who "busted their guts" riding in this entertaining but brutal race. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded. Thank you to LR for your insights, humour and respect for the riders. A GT is an amazing sporting event.
Sugar + cadence + pacing + big hemo = win.
Eddie D. Some Boy!
It probably would not have made any difference but its sad Gall couldnt help Ben the last week like he did today.
He had to be sick I believe. Because today he looked really good again and was important for Ben.
Congrats Dunbar! 👏
Congrats Dunbar 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Terbaik lah Primo
BOC is better when stage is hard. why his team didn’t make the stage hard by pulling before the final climb on another stages?
he's also better when he doesn't stupidly go into the red to try to follow Roglic. Why did he go stupidly into the red trying to follow Roglic while wearing the jersey, instead of not blowing up, riding his own pace and lose less time?

12 kids is really good going for a 29 year old.
@@awerdna387 Understatement of the year?
Is that a joke? Enric Mas had his first and only kid in December last year.
I can't believe he's got 12 kids at his age. Maybe he meant 12 dependents ie all the family members he supports.
Ineos pulling to defend 7th and getting dropped to 10th on GC is classic! you can't make that stuff up
People ripped into Bora for giving BOC so much time, but in the end, it benefited them mostly and it's Movistar and EF who have the problem.
I have not idea what UAE were doing. This stage or this race.
I think Soler realized that as long as Vine is with him he is not going to win the Jersey. His attacks seemed very early in the climb. I think if you want to go for the stage you'd attack closer to the summit so you'd get a "rest" on the descent

When you know, you know!
Only sepp kuss didn't do his plan this vuelta
his plan was to sit with a sad face in hope of being gifted . . . not this year, or ever again!
Primoz⛷ Roglic turns the hot Spanish terrain into a snow covered ski course: I Came, I Snow, I Conquered!
check out the video of Roglic crashing on the ski jump.
*Unless you are Tadej Pogacar or Jonas Vingegaard. Then, he indeed does care.

Well done Eddie Dunbar
Ben lost the red jersey away just simply by not believing he could hold it till the end. Though actual results matter, confidence matters as much.
He’s not going to be make up 2mins because he believes in himself more than
Soler always have horrible tactics but where are him Directors ?
Stupid tactics by UAE, and a bit of disappointing stage with no satellite riders or long range attacks
It is refreshing to see riders that aren't juicing x 25 like the TDF... lol
Has Primoz looked uncomfortable once in this entire race? Dropping top riders while looking like he's barely exerting any effort...
UAE should have taken Pogacar.
I didn’t believe in what people were saying about our tactics of UAE when Pogacar is not on a team. Well, after this Vuelta I am a believer.
Soler clearly wanted the KLM jersey but then he pretended to pull hard for one kilometre before leaving his team-mate alone against the GC guys. This was pathetic.
Solerism in action
What's with Vine taking the KOM points in front of Soler?! No wonder Soler tried to break away from the breakaway! I like Vine less and less...
primoz was flying from the slopes
now he's climbing mountains.
Roglic best clean pro grand tour rider.
were really gonna get a fringe top 10 gc rider on the podium.. ciclismo is dead
Well BOC took his chance on Stage 6, didn't crash, was supported by his team and kept at it. I hope it marks a breakout for a rider with talent who may have underachieved so far.

Nah probably some of the riders ate the same thing as the staff member and got sick too, salmonella doesnt transmit through the air
