Adam Yates serves up the PAIN | Volta a Catalunya Stage 3 2021

Almeida gaining time in the tt, getting isolated and sat on by the other favourites in the mountains and losing that time is becoming a meme

[@johnpontes812]

Yea he has talent for sure but he just misses the mark in his TT he is not dominant enough to take 1min over the other gc guys and on climbs he cant go with the attacks. He is pretty much snookered by his limitations if they did a 200km mountain stage TT he would solo the other guys into the ground also his team definitely dont make up the deficit for him.

[@Ryan-ei7te]

Hi LR, just wanted to say that I love the content you're putting out, high quality and insightful commentary making the bike racing less opaque for a casual fan. Think you've got your target market sorted - stingy bastards who didn't want to pay for GCN+. Whatever changes in the licensing happened this year so you can use all this content is a huge boon for your channel.

[@joeviloria2494]

What a ride from Adam Yates. I read somewhere that Yates versus Yates would be a nice battle. From this stage, we can see that Yates versus the rest of the best is a nicer battle. Also, I cannot wait until Kuss gets to bag a stage. He looks to be in very good form and condition. Just give this man his own stage win already!

[@zzhughesd]

[@dantedorado2609]

The most impressive ride for me was Chaves. The TV cameras didn’t do his solo ride any justice. But Valverde? Wtf?

[@wolfzeev3376]

Cause Valverde is Spanish in a Spanish race

[@DrunkieCat]

He was teleporting or something lol

[@viktorgombos4975]

When Valverde attacked I was thinking the old man just wants to have some fun or idk maybe preparing an attack from Mas. But when he easily went with Yates I was like wtf is he doing??? At the age of 40?? Also, I was very happy about Chaves, he put up an incredible performance too.

[@MarlowWhere]

He's probably the fittest and wisest dude in the Peleton. Same with other old guys like Cancellara (although he's retired now)...they just have this freakish strength that has faded over time but their skill and love for the sport is unshakeable. Makes me really wish there were elite masters tours...watching these war heros dual each other would be very entertaining.

[@njm3211]

Kuss needs to be more tactically astute. He's got the climbing chops. BTW interesting to note that Ineos is sticking to rim brakes at least for stages without technical descents.

[@joewakelin198]

Rim brakes are far better for road racing especially when you get a puncture every second counts and the last thing you want is to take a spare wheel from neutral service and the rotor is the wrong size

[@joewakelin198]

And that's not to mention how long it takes to change a disc wheel compared to rim brake, ineos are just clever

[@shelleyc853]

@@joewakelin198 yeah I don't underestand(well I do, marketing) why everyone's on discs. I think disc technology has the potential to get to the point where it has a quick release and generally improve, but it makes no sense. I've just got a disc road bike and it's so much better for me, but I have to deal with traffic and it doesn't matter how long it takes me to take a wheel out 😅

[@trackie1957]

What is that whacky press Moto with two front wheels?

[@mwp6662]

Why does Carapaz accelerate to mark the moves of valverde and Quintana, if the aero elastic between Carapaz and his teammates snaps? I get that it's helpful when the team isn't far behind, but when he goes far ahead, how does that benefit the team? Is it to force other teams to chase carapZ because he then becomes a threat to them, pulling the remaining Ineos guys to him?

[@bmhjw]

Where does Yates train?? And where are George Bennett and Kruiswijk?? Are they domestiqueing for Kuss after hard weeks?

[@ethanmarston9446]

I must say the momentum seems to be going Adam Yates' way for the TdF... most times in the last decade the TdF winner performed at a very high level in multiple week-long stage races beforehand and this is what he is showing.

[@Rahul-eh3rf]

Wouldn't go that far; Yates has always been very strong in 1 week races; 1 second behind Roglic in 2019 Tirreno; 14 seconds behind MAL at 2019 Catalunya; 2nd at 2018 Dauphine behind Thomas. He just doesn't bring that form to 3-week races

[@ethanmarston9446]

@@Rahul-eh3rf that is very fair, his consistency over 3 weeks is a big issue. I must say though he usually only does one or two week-long stage races in this form before he has a bad one. It will be interesting to see how he goes at the other week-long races this year

[@sharonmoller7414]

I dunno what it is I just laugh when I hear the phrase “Chaves teleports up to Yates...” I think it’s because LR would use that phrase about MVDP “teleporting” from the back of the peloton to the break. The two riders couldn’t be more opposites of each other!

Really a shame that Almeida cant finish a climb at the front

[@MarlowWhere]

I dont understand how Jumbo is using Sepp. He is great at dragging roglic up a mountain day after day, but on his own he doesn't seem to be able to mark all that many attacks, or rather doesn't care to, and lacks the explosiveness to put much pressure on others when he attacks. It would make sense if he was a sneaky GC contender to just sit in with others on the front during a climb without drawing attention and gaining little bits of time here and there...but outside of stage hunting I don't think he will ever be the GC contender people were saying he would be last year at the Tour unless he becomes more powerful. He's still young so we'll see I guess.
