With the way he's always falling I'd say he's Roglitched 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@kennykaniff hey, do not jinx my Roglic, you hear!

[@kennykaniff]

@@savagepro9060😂 fair enough but he doesn't need my help Jynxing himself. He does pretty good at that all by himself😂 I am not a huge fan of Roglic but he's a great rider. It's kind of sad how close he's come to winning TDF but he will never win the TDF. His time has run out for that I think. It's kind of fkd up how Visma treated him. I'm glad he found a new team for himself tho. A team that will treat him with the respect he deserves. Visma isn't known for their kind ways. They are ALL ABOUT BUSINESS and they don't care at what cost. That team is pretty ruthless as far as what they will do to win and how they go about it 🤘🏻🇬🇧

[@kestralrider313]

Roglic is clearly the strongest rider in this year's Vuelta, Ben seems like a great guy and gave us an amazing stage win, but Roglic is still who I'd predict to the overall despite the current gap. Regardless of who wins, it probably makes for a more exciting Vuelta for us fans with Ben trying to retain and others trying to break him.

[@jooohan-i9o]

Roglic needs to stay upright, first and foremost.

[@anklepick9524]

I agree. Roglic is the strongest rider. But I'm also impressed with Mas. Ben made this Vuelta alot more interesting with his big stage win.

[@kennykaniff]

This is the comment I left . . . This is my takeaway from todays stage *Not surprised to see Roglic on this kind of form. I think he just needs to keep the rubber to the ground and this could be his Vuelta. For the record I'm not a fan of Roglic and I knew he had no chance at TDF but he really looks like the one to beat at the Vuelta *It appeared that Sepp went down or at least unclipped when they came around that tight bend to the climb but I never expected Sepp to do well this Vuelta. I don't believe he's on the form he needs to be on to be a real contender. I don't expect a podium from him *Enric Mas and Mikel Landa are doing quite well and I will be keeping an eye on both of them. They seem like they can be a threat to Roglic *No surprise to see Ben O'Connor lose time. By stage 15 he will lose his lead. Even he doesn't expect to keep the leaders jersey *This is a real race!! We have many riders that can be a threat for the win. This will be a great Vuelta CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROWS STAGE 9!! Not extremely long climbs but Three Cat 1 climbs so we will see who is up for the task but it's still not a mountain top finish and it's not yet above 2000m so still not really a decisive stage but definitely a stage to watch and to see who is really ready for battle 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

If he did not had lost time today we could believe in it, now its just a matter of mountain stages before Roglic takes the lead and wins the tour.

Ben said 3 things in his post race interview when he won . . . 1)I didn't think about my GC position once on this stage 2)I will pay for this in the days to come 3)savour the moment Those 3 things say that he knows he's losing the leaders jersey in a few stages.

[@narakdk]

@@kennykaniff also he tried to downplay himself, which is understandable. They day after he said he had a solid lead. But today we could also see that Roglic might not even be the strongest rider this year. Mas and Charapaz can be equally dangerous for Ben.

@@narakdk this is the comment I left on stage 9 highlights . . . Great stage win by Yates!!! Never count Yatesey out!!! Gotta love the F bomb and the "I don't give a shit about GC" comment from him in his post race interview😂 Carapaz is putting it all out there. Gotta love the way hes performing!! Another REAL contender for a podium spot!! I have my eye on E. Mas for a podium and he possible win and he was going to take second place today but he had that serious mishap on the descent. I've not seen someone come so close to what could have been a really bad crash and then he saved it!! Absolutely incredible save by E. Mas!! I've also got my eye on M. Landa for a podium. He's been doing really well also Not expecting B. O'Connor to keep the leaders jersey past stage 16 This is going to be and has been a great Vuelta!! There are some surprises and some riders that are going to have a real chance to win thia thing. We've got some great battles to come. Love it when we don't know who is going to win 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Ben loses the leaders jersey by stage 15. Even if Roglic crashes there's still Mas to compete with. He's on great form and Landa looks really strong also 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@user-i.irmelyn]

True, but Roglic was kinda ' busy winning the junior world championship in sky jumping when his competitors were learning about bike handling .86 wins, not so bad for a guy who skipped those lessons:)

[@kennykaniff]

@@BeeEhlDoce even tho he's notorious for crashing I really think he's going to stay upright this Vuelta. This is his race. He's won it several times already, he didn't have a chance at TDF (even tho he crashed out he wouldn't have podiumed), and he's got a new team that he wants to make proud and he is on great form. I'm not a big Roglic fan but I think he's got a great shot at this Vuelta. Almieda has covid and did terrible yesterday and I just heard he's DNS for stage 9. Even if he did start today he wasn't going to be a threat everyone hoped for and Sepp was t coming into this race as a real threat in my opinion. I also think Yates is underperforming and possibly because of covid (I'm not sure tho) and Ben himself isn't expecting to hold onto the jersey. He doesn't have a strong team with enough depth and he's going to pay in the upcoming stages. I say by stage 15 or 16 he's lost the jersey. Even if he keeps it past that I don't see him winning. He has a decent shot at getting a podium spot tho if he doesn't blow up the final week which is when I think we'll see him start to fall apart. Mas and Landa are doing really well. I've got my eyes on those two especially Mas 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@BeeEhlDoce]

@@kennykaniff maybe my trolling attempt wasn’t clear enough. I agree with everything you said, I’m just hoping he crashes because I don’t want him to win because of his antics in last year’s Vuelta. That’s why I call him Benedict Roglic. Anybody but him and I like to root for an underdog like O’Connor.

I wouldn't be so hard on his team. The years may be catching up with him but that sort of stage is Roglic's bread and butter and it's a joy to watch him Roglifiying everyone when he does it. If O'Connor's team had been able to do anything about it they would all be GC contenders themselves.

Gall was there and I'm pretty sure he could have followed, at least until the last attack of Roglic. You can see him turning around and waiting for O'Connor a lot of times after 4:00.
