After everything Kuss has done for both Roglic and Vindy, it would be nice to see them work for him this one time!

[@krakke3188]

I think we will see that now. He so deserves it! I belive this is Kuss 5. grand tour in a row, wow!

[@Tommi462]

I wouldn't feel right winning a grand tour if I wasn't the strongest rider. I'm not even a fan of gifted stages, but that's at least more understandable. But gifting the whole tour...? I don't like it. I'm not saying that Sepp isn't for sure, but we won't know if he can hang with Jonas and Primoz if they don't attack at any point. And with Remco out of the GC, they won't really have a reason to attack. I really hope they go against each other on the Angliru and see if Sepp can hang with the other two there. He doesn't even need to beat them, but if he can stay in the GC lead after that stage, then the other two can work for him for the rest of the Vuelta in my opinion.

[@danielguinea2971]

​@@Tommi462until now seems like kuss is as strong as roglic and vingegaard (if not stronger) so I don't think that it would be a gift to him. But yeah, let's see how angliru or other mountains in the next week develop

[@built2last409]

I am a fan of Kuss for sure. But, at the end of the day, it should be earned. For those of us old enough to remember Lemond vs Bernard Hinault (the Badger) that is how it went down. Lemond earned that TDF win, through and through, it was not gifted to him...@@Tommi462

[@dirgsuite5546]

About Remco's off day: on the rest day, his coach made Remco take total rest without putting the legs under tension. Probably because fatigue was already building up. But it backfired!. in the time trial, Remco did not reach his numbers and had heavy legs at the start. He expected to win the TT and distance his GC Rivals but it was not as much as he hoped for. Remco get's worried. Add that, to all the pressure on Remco to beat Jumbo in the high mountains, it just cut his legs off. That is not to say, that fatigue building up was not a factor. When all the pressure went off because the GC was gone, it gave him super legs at stage 14. No rider is under as much pressure as Remco Evenepoel and he popped and resurrected. Respect!

Emco's comeback is the greatest since Floyd Landis. Wait a minute!!!!

[@williamroberts6937]

Had he tried yesterday he'd likely only dropped a few minutes but knowing that he'd be nowhere for the GC he cleverly played it safe and latched on to the peloton to conserve energy to go for all the KOM points on offer today. So 'yes' a comeback from a bad day, but not a true 27 min loss day.

​@@danielrussell9416 Hardly, Landis was down a lot less time, and subsequently they obviously were not goign to let him go, but he basically humiliated them all, drove off very early while the frontrunners then licked their wounds, and had their entire teams trying to claw back the time, but Landis drove so fast he took back all the time he lost the day before and then some. Remco lost 27 minutes, clearly once he saw he was down 10-15m after a while, he realised he wouldn't be a factor for the GC, so he finished the rest at a snails pace, conserving all his energy, hoping for a stage win the day after or beyond. And clearly TJV just let him go, and treated this stage as an off day really.

Guys, this is not a "surprising" result. Here's how it works when a top GC contender has a bad day: once they know they're not gonna be in top 5/10 contention, they go as easy as they can, to both lose as much time as possible (so no one worries when they try to get in a break the next day) and also to save their legs to win another day. Once you're out of the GC, all that counts is more stage wins. This win was great, but VERY predictable.

Most remarkable come back by dopers Landis (tour) and Froome (giro)

[@RayKappo]

I agree but Landis doped......Froome, marginal gains

[@stevozrepto5558]

Remco VS Remco

[@johnking-ub7eu]

Commentators still making excuses for remco, for yesterday .jumbo let him go there was no need to chase him . commentators still going over the top it got a bit sickening to listen too it.

[@seandougherty9917]

I agree. the commentary today, especially the highlight reel, was a load of rubbish. Carlton - get a grip.

[@clintmichigan9112]

Haven't seen a recovery like that since Floyd Landis

[@duncandisorderly6562]

Hmm 🤔 amazing what a bit of juice will do 😄👍

[@againstthegrain147]

No one had to go after him so it made him look good! A recovery worth investing! Too good?

[@Bryan__X__]

Made him look good? Yea right keep dreaming. A young legend he already is and he showed today.

J Almeida 🎉

[@michaelkohn883]

Sorry don’t see how that was “remarkable…”. Perhaps if he comes in 27 minutes ahead of the GC - but not 8+ min.

[@bazza6432]

Headline and thumbnail gave the result away. Not much point in watching

[@riquelmeone]

it’s a highlight video. go watch it live then

[@jaycahow4667]

Hate to live in your world surrounded by past tense news........

[@fudgelstoute5283]

la vuelta without remco is just black and yellow

[@roybakker470]

Can we just have some passionate commentary rather than this guy seemingly wanting to be next David Attenborough. Also, the best comeback we ever seen, he was 27 mins behind, was free to go for a stage, doesn't seem that remarkable other than it just being a solid win..

[@stevemt3238]

The Floyd Landis comeback stage was much more remarkable than Evenopoel's, but that accomplishment will not be discussed for obvious reasons. After such a remarkable comeback like that, I hope Evenopoel's stage win drug test will be negative.
