That blows. I’m the only one in the Top 5 who doesn’t have Kuss but he’s one of my favorites. Amazing support rider in the mountain stages. Came up huge after Roglič and Steven Kruijswijk pulled out of the TDF last month. He was a big part of the last theee Vuelta. Still have Sam Oomen but he’s not at the same level.

Hayter is a big loss for my team.

That was impressive! Just getting around to watching now.
João Almeida was headed for a Top 8 and blunders with 500 meters left. The press motorcycles pull off to the left & he blindly follows before realizing he’s off course.
Cost him a good 25-30 seconds and 7-8 places for the stage (finished a respectable 15th.)

an observation from r/peloton:
I did a little math this morning (well Excel did most of it), and my trendline says 334 riders will be out of the Vuelta by the last stage. (I count DNF and DNS in every stage, so not only Covid casualties)
Edit : It's actually 776 riders, I counted 21 days instead of 24 including rest days
Edit² : You know what, even with a linear approach (instead of exponential), I have 120 riders out at the end of the race. And if Covid made us learn something, it's probably how exponentials work (that or basic hygiene, depends on who you ask)

Nice to see Mads get the Stage win, having an amazing Vuelta.
I haven’t won a stage in Velogames yet, maybe today. Though @DA RAIDERS also has Pedersen so perhaps not.
Only one DNS/WD today, first time since Stage 6 we haven’t lost multiple riders.

Yesterday Wilco Kelderman got 2nd on the stage and achieved his 137th top 10 without a win in a WT race.
Today Bryan Coquard got 2nd on the stage and got his 50th top 10 without a win in a WT race.
Ackerman basically a meme at this point. Goes with 400m left, slams his handlebars in disgust at the finish when he gets smoked.

Boring fist stage with the peloton holding the breakaway in check. But fantastic content today in the form of a lengthy chat between Bob and Jonathan Vaughters, manager of EF Education-EasyPost.
Jaysus
Good times!
Plus, you know, that last 3km...

yeah that stage went from 0-100 quick
Spanish journalist is saying that she has just talked to doctors that have attended Roglič and he probably has no factures and don’t need stitches. And that he is very angry with himself.
Thought for I’d get a stage win today (only have 1 so far) but lost by 4. Da Raiders train keeps on rolling.

Pretty sure a descent to the Bottom of the standings is complete. Oh we’ll c’est la vie.
Jaysus
Good times!
He sure looked concussed....

what a great Vuelta for Mads
Jaysus
Good times!
I definitely made the right choice dropping him to make room for Hayter on my Veloteam.

yeah I dropped Enric Mas for Hayter so touché
(actually I was maybe over budget not sure)
my sentimental Chris Froome pick was another stroke of genius
lost two to Covid I presume everyone else did as well
seems like where I messed up was not having another strong GC result to pair with Remco - Joao Almeida and Jai Hindley got smoked my Mas
it's my first Velogames and I spent all of 5-10 minutes researching so just happy I didn't embarrass myself

I took Froome as well. don't like him, just thought he might get back on the sauce and show up in the Vuelta. he had a decent tdf. showed small signs of the old Froome.I definitely made the right choice dropping him to make room for Hayter on my Veloteam.

16,177 days since the last time a Belgian rider won a GT according to Eurosport. Chapeau Remco!
Well deserved, wasn’t sure he’d hang on and today he had no help. Answered every attack he needed to, didn’t panic when he lost a full minute on an earlier stage. Obviously lot of Covid DNS but it is what it is. Sixth youngest by my count - the five in front of him: 2 prewar, 1 each in the 1950s, 60s, & 70s.
Carapaz wins Stage 20 for the hat trick. Not bad after his week 1 form. A genuine King of the Mountains, not just an inadvertent win by a GC guy.
OK, GC guy who
the bed & then turned it around.
