Soler is clearly a future Movistar DS

[@jaybobd]

He somehow even makes his tactics of racing for points confusing.

[@tonyg3091]

Can’t wait. Whatever team he manages will be the most fun team to watch. 😂

[@jesusredondo513]

one of the best Vuelta's of last years. Chaotic and fun

[@gustaaf1892]

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.

[@davestasiukdesign]

Wout crashing out is really the only blight on it

[@luuzmaster3418]

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.

[@sean7098]

Ah yes because Roglic never crashes out of a grand tour. Pog is worse than this mate!!

[@garrywallah4966]

Eddie Dunbar perfectly measured his effort his entire attack, they got close so many times but he deserved the win in the end

[@garrywallah4966]

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]

if only he rode like this when in the red jersey...

[@TheFlowZoneX]

@@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

[@l.d.t.6327]

@@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.

[@savagepro9060]

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!

[@dormilon36]

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

[@alanoneill3065]

The best analysis of La Vuelta...helps me to understand cycling more

[@cote-dubucraphael6235]

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?

[@devenirmillionnaireenbours539]

Jean Christophe Peraud finished the 2014 tour de France in 2nd place.

[@manontondalan9941]

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.

[@chrisko6439]

Martinez and Gamper of Bora both abandoned the race and Denz, also Bora, didn't make the time limit by 54s. Salmonella.

[@seanhammon6639]

Salmonella? Inexcusable!

[@GoJeronimo]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@TheFlowZoneX]

@@chrisko6439 perfectly timed too. Finally some luck falling Primo's way

[@n.stamm_]

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!

[@rosscads]

Fantastic stuff from Dunbar! He came to this Vuelta chasing GC, lost that dream, but still came away with his hands full! 🎉

[@colmanh]

Eddie “van Aert” Dunbar winning reduced sprints and mountaintop finishes, TT next of course…

[@SamikBose90]

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.

[@Davidakacvier]

Send them to the Giro

[@SamikBose90]

@@Davidakacvier yeah! Probably a better chance for a podium!

[@garrywallah4966]

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

[@epincion]

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.

[@TimCupery]

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.

[@joekingsword2150]

Really great to see o'Connor race this smart

[@nicholasloduca6668]

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

[@srolchi]

These recaps are amazing. I am currently traveling in Asia, so these are perfect to get me up to speed. Love it!

[@jaybobd]

"the first SEVEN categorized climbs were not very difficult..." 🤣

[@danielkaminske5048]

Underrated comment!

[@GoJeronimo]

Yeah, at the end of one of the hardest grand tours ever!

[@Richie-C]

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.

Took me taking a trip to Germany to finally watch this right after it is uploaded.

[@deborahmarr2210]

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.

[@gustaaf1892]

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.

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".

[@durianriders]

Sugar + cadence + pacing + big hemo = win.

[@fiddleronthebike]

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

[@mikanunx]

Solerism 😂

[@GoJeronimo]

I wouldn't trust him for betting odds, but he'll still win the lottery some day

[@genghi5khan]

Vine said Soler was aiming to wear the other breakaway riders down for Vine to get the last big points

[@l.d.t.6327]

sure. That's why Vine had to sprint for dear life on that penultimate climb to take the jersey from Soler.

[@mullrump2]

Eddie D. Some Boy!

[@TheZeusIsHere1]

Congrats Dunbar 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Congrats Dunbar! 👏

[@holymackenaw]

It probably would not have made any difference but its sad Gall couldnt help Ben the last week like he did today.

[@raphaelovicstrassovic9440]

He had to be sick I believe. Because today he looked really good again and was important for Ben.

[@wcubbin]

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.

[@apagunaberlari2929]

[@michaelsteele5495]

Ineos pulling to defend 7th and getting dropped to 10th on GC is classic! you can't make that stuff up

[@canhhautran3553]

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?

[@l.d.t.6327]

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?

[@GoJeronimo]

​@@l.d.t.6327it takes some people multiple times to learn a lesson.

[@TheFlowZoneX]

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

[@beckobert]

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.

[@dr.merlot1532]

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.

[@awerdna387]

12 kids is really good going for a 29 year old.

[@deborahmarr2210]

@@awerdna387 Understatement of the year?

[@nikiniki7176]

Is that a joke? Enric Mas had his first and only kid in December last year.

[@bobpaterson7540]

I can't believe he's got 12 kids at his age. Maybe he meant 12 dependents ie all the family members he supports.

[@vaughanc4919]

When you know, you know!

[@ForeverDayGreen]

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

[@mrfillebojj5731]

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?

[@kieron88ward]

I have not idea what UAE were doing. This stage or this race.

[@danbuchman7497]

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.

[@deborahmarr2210]

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...

[@hopandsolo]

Well done Eddie Dunbar

*Unless you are Tadej Pogacar or Jonas Vingegaard. Then, he indeed does care.

Stupid tactics by UAE, and a bit of disappointing stage with no satellite riders or long range attacks

[@worldvaleur]

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...

[@fautqucabele2070]

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.
