Vuelta a España 2019 Stage 16 Highlights: Alto de la Cubilla Summit Finish| GCN Racing

[@gcnracing]

Can anyone beat Roglic now?

[@micbanand]

Nope thats secure. but 2. gonna change

[@jsgreffe6409]

No. But can you get one prediction right? That’s the Vuelta challenge now !

[@davidpnewton]

Short of him crashing out almost certainly not.

[@arnoldhau1]

Well I would predict he will still be leading the race after tomorrow for sure.

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

Well, don't crash or being hit that will do.

[@JMise]

Biggest shock for me today was the realization that Fuglsang hasn't won any grand tour stages before today. TTT doesn't count.

[@isbjoern0325]

As an dane I was surprised too to hear that.

[@medicin4478]

Great Jakob Fuglsang

[@IverVammervold]

Hagen is doing phenomenal!

[@53glowe]

Tks Dan for another dose of Vuelta update goodness. Chapeau 👍

[@julians5037]

I now know who won't win at stage 17: Thomas De Gendt.

[@OldSardul]

That's sad for us De Gendt fans

[@razcohen5590]

Looks like a stage for the sprinters on paper as opposed to the breakaway. I will be shocked if DeGendt will even get in a break to begin with...

[@micbanand]

What a Year for Fuglsang. and I dont think its the last. we have seen from Him this year.

[@pedrolplgm]

Thanks GCN.Great Report.Ever.Thanks.

[@ImranShaikh-gh2wd]

Thanks gcn again great summary

[@gcnracing]

Our pleasure!

[@mhuten]

Contador Alert: Dan has never been able to predict any stage so far if we dont count Roglic’s TT!

[@abdust]

i hope hagen can manage to stay in the top 10 by the end. norway has had plenty of sprinters but no real climbers or all rounders to get a new generation of norwegian climbers going. im sure he'll have even more success in the coming years

[@pedrolplgm]

Muchas gracias.GCN.Saludos.

[@eigobike3929]

Excellent editing with great general production and presentation values. This race has really showcased excellent cyclists performing well. A good mix of rouleur/sprint and climbing stages with minimal fuss of crashes which can really alter and ruin the expectation of a wider array of competitors. Viva La Vuelta !

[@usoksmoke9409]

Fuglsang one of the smoothest rider ever

[@seascape]

Slightly off topic - I love the channel and the commentary, and have 3 general comments, as someone new to the sport. 1) How about an intro to watching racing video (race watching for dummies?) that explains what the different race graphics mean. For a newb, it is just so confusing. Also, this may be out of your control, but the top graphic of the leaders’ positions has the leader(s) in the leftmost position followed by the chasing groups (see 1:53), which to me seems to be backwards -- I would expect the leaders to be closest to the end of the race / end of the video, which is towards the right. 2) How about a pointer / arrow highlighting the rider you’re talking about? Unless they have a distinctive riding style like Chris Froome, or have won several grand tours like Vincenzo Nibali, I can’t identify the riders. The names are familiar, but unless it’s a closeup or their helmets are off, I’m clueless. (BTW, why don’t riders have their names on their jerseys, or do they?) 3) How about a brief overview of the companies in the team names? As an American, the only names that I recognize are Trek & Cannondale. No joke, but I thought Quickstep Floors was a combination of a dancing company (Quickstep) and a Dutch company (Floors). It would be interesting to see a profile of these companies, and hear why they sponsor pro teams. I’m a big fan of GCN and its channels, and am eager to learn more about the sport.

[@craigwilson118]

Name on back of jersey would be great, and an overview of sponsors would be interesting (and I'm sure something they wouldn't object to for the coverage).

[@gammarays666]

All of that can be answered by google and steephill.tv

[@maticspetic463]

GCN I have a question. How many people are working behind this channel?

[@hippanator]

Better yet, why not a behind the scenes tour at some point in the future.

[@cheva68]

About half.

[@pirenejegorysapiekne4436]

Rafał Majka ,,Majeczka,, number 5😍😍😍

[@razcohen5590]

Stage 17 I would say is for the sprinters no?

[@gauloisrefractaireenexilvo4366]

Good to see breakaways go all the way to the finish line. It shows no team is in control of the race. Will Roglic survive the 4 days after the 2nd rest day? I bet he's going to talk to Alaphilippe and Yates while chilling out.

[@maticspetic463]

Roglic is from the same country as me. I am proud.

[@elzet3894]

Slovenia always has great athletes in various sports! Beautiful little country as well.

[@maticspetic463]

@@elzet3894 Thank you

[@BADBOYandR0B1NN]

Youre not gonna fool me twice with that thomas de gendt bet

[@Umb2132]

King in the North!

[@alexienc]

Nice job Astana.

[@holymackenaw]

great work, but you forgot to mention a new rider in the top ten. Pernsteiner from Austria. 🇦🇹

[@mkduddy4376]

Why has dan given the kiss of death so many times to De Gent

[@tomheyworth6020]

He's a top breakaway rider, so he's the "best bet" the only problem is that many different riders can win on a breakaway stage, so even though he has better odds than any other rider, his odds still only about 10%.

[@DamasusEkodimus]

3:00 Tao shutting down his head unit because it's screaming 'red alert' power number (?)

[@Volvo5200]

Valrvede is legend

[@ItachiGT]

Believe it or not, Fuglsang hasn't won a GC stage before...has always been in the helper role until the recent years. A late bloomer

[@mahiru20ten]

Could Madrazo regain the polkadot?

[@jorgealbertoreyesmedina4061]

I don't think so

[@flyingberserker3965]

After first week movistar should have put quintana working for valverde, he is so incosistent how ca he be the team leader if he keeps losing time in mountains. And also carapaz should be in vuelta his contract ends after the vuelta, its so hard to be professional at your work for both sides??

[@bmiller8461]

0:05 dude's tongue is touching his nose

[@u.s.s.indianapolis343]

Dan watch and learn: My prediction for tomorrow race is Fernando Gaviria

[@holymammoth9994]

Mr.Lobster Tomorrow is a rest day.

[@u.s.s.indianapolis343]

😂😂😂

[@mhuten]

De Gendt again? Is he joking in to us?

[@tungstenkid2271]

Quote- "Quintana had another bad day"- unquote...........Nothing new there then..;)

[@1999vizz]

Woot

[@simonknowles4267]

2:50, Fuglsang or lopez

[@nielskjr5432]

[@HansChristianFrancke]

The intercom is totally destroying all the joy. It's become very predictable and boring to watch the leading team take control and blocking the road to prevent attacks. The cycling sport has developed to be riders with Watts and weight rather than to be a full spectrum sportsman where you actually have to make own judgements, own tactics and your own impulsive actions based on what's happening in the peloton. This is the death of cycling if it continuous.🚴👎

[@brunospasta]

I enjoy watching tactical races and seeing what the teams are planing. It's much more of a team sport nowadays which I think is pretty cool.

[@HansChristianFrancke]

Yes, if you like to see 4-15 riders suffering in a break during an entire day just to be caught 2-5 kilometers before the line. It's ridiculous and boring.
