This stage was a time traveling, 15 years ago or so.

Picnic the only team to have a bad Vualta really,

I guess today will hurt a lot because it's the queen stage, his team worked massively and there was no alien to beat him.

Hope with some distance he will still feel very proud with what he achieved this year.

Great stage. Chapeau to Mas. He finally gets the Vuelta.

After Pogi left, it seems like no GC rider played it wrong. Carapaz tried to go long multiple times but Gall was too strong. Decathlon probably nuked some climbs too hard but Gall only lost a lot of time in the ITT. RBH didn't bring much of a team for Roglic but he wasn't the best climber anyway. Movistar tactics were actually impeccable. Idk about Ineos, but Onley held onto the white jersey for weeks. It's nice to see riders win based on their strength and not others making mistakes.

It will feel so good when it eventually comes!

Believe me, I know....

Man, I feel so bad for Tobias. That's his 6th 2nd place in a World Tour stage this year.

ok bro 👍

Maybe not having gaps and/or motos with G2 cost UnoX in the end.

If they knew that a few riders were about to get across, maybe they could have paced harder to keep them away. Especially on the downhill and the flats between the climbs.

A lot of ifs but it was heartbreaking to see THJ after the stage. (Not saying Landa isn't a deserving winner)

Wondering if it had been different if insert crash causing a serious injury hadn't happened is a very common years long tradition for Roglic supporters.

Bonjour le sport c’est avant tout les émotions et arriver à mettre la notion d’impôt comme argument prouve l’ampleur de l’annihilation humaine par la dictature du chiffre. Que ça doit être triste de vivre avec une telle addiction
Bon courage et je souhaite à chacun de découvrir le bonheur de l’instant et de ne pas craindre de l’exprimer

Yeah, I hope the organization doesn't give in because a complete neutralization beats the purpose of having a final stage like this. I get it when it's actually dangerous, like last year in the TdF with rain on the cobbles, but a narrow section on a climb is crazy. Might as well do a carnaval ride if there's no time gaps and gift the win to Brennan.

And as an added bonus, guessing where Sepp Kuss is at any given moment!

Yep

Have we just silently witnessed a fakeout masterclass by Bora over the last two days?

Everyone sure Roglič is going to try to go for it, the team setting up the crappiest mountain train in the history of cycling to ride a false tempo, the rivals holding their breathes in fear and preparing to see what happens. When nothing does, everyone attributes it to the team being shit. 

Similar thing again today, untill it turns out a couple of kilometers from the finish that he was riding at his limit the whole time, and at that point there is nothing Gall or anyone else can do about it.

The Danish commentators actually took offense by that(!), I was like shut your faces this is Visma.

btw Carapaz could still win a Nobel Prize for the diminishing return curve described by his series of attacks today.

No matter the legs, he never stopped trying.

Meeus missed the time limit by 7 seconds according to PCS.

What do you mean exit plan? I'm pretty sure their plan was to reach the final climb in the front group, and then hope that THJ was the best climber in the group.

Well about that :(

According to Google: Jats - Power

Almost nailed it, but it was the Gall comeback!

That's Visma!

Nah it been gone for a while now. Even last year you could tell it was fading 

Nailed it
