Vuelta a España 2019 Stage 9 Highlights: Andorra la Vella - Cortals d’Encamp | GCN Racing

The 9th stage of the Vuelta a España was a short one at just 94.4km from Andorra la Vella to Cortals d’Encamp. With the category 1 Coll d’Ordino straight out of the blocks followed by the Especial Coll de la Gallina, and a crazy combination of category two climbs resembling a staircase with a new climb of the Engolasters pass before a new 4km flat gravel section leading into the final category one climb to the line. The riders will definitely need the rest day after this one. This isn’t a livestream, but it's the only highlights you need.

My prediction - bad coffee because they are in France. :-) Never change Dan, this is gold.

[@asurecolonialcourt3271]

Absolute gold with the "Bad Coffee" call, just brilliant

[@stopspammingmesrsly]

My experience was 8 Euro bad coffee, served with an attitude.

[@peercy5927]

I dont get it

[@jaredfontaine2002]

Stick to your Tea!

[@124Outdoor]

Flew over my head...

[@TheMateyl]

It's a good time to be a Slovenian cycling fan

[@selcukcilek555]

Roglic 's gain in his climbing abilities is undeniable. Wish him a GT win . Doesn't have the best team out there but Roglic really deserves it IMO. Let's wait for the ITT.

[@MrTripsJ]

Selcuk Cilek Roglic should just crack Quinny in the jaw for once

[@Ronline26]

He has a great team sepp kuss is doing great Bennet is good his team is as good as Astana only movistar is a bit stronger

[@jandeboer426]

Primoz Roglic fell on the gravel strip in the final of the ninth Vuelta stage. Jumbo-Visma reports this after the ride on social media. The leader fell after a "bad maneuver" of a motard. Due to heavy weather, the TV connection disappeared on the final climb in Andorra. Before that Roglic was still in the favorite group and when the images were back, the Slovenian was behind. Now it is clear what happened there. Eventually Roglic came back and finished third in the stage result, behind Tadej Pogacar and Nairo Quintana. In the rankings, Roglic is second at the start on the first day of rest, six seconds from the new leader Quintana.

[@gcnracing]

Thanks for tuning in! Who saw that coming?!

[@andraznogometas10]

Roglic also had a crash with a motorbike, Kuss confirmed that in the interviews after the race, as did his team JV. It was because of that crash, that he lost so much time to the likes of Valverde, Quintana and Pogacar.

[@JMise]

Apparently nobody, I just watched live feed featuring some blokes on raincoats at the finish line when all the action happened :(

[@andraznogometas10]

@@JMise Yeah, signal was lost. And they also didn't show the crashes of Lopez and Roglic (motorbike crashed into him).

[@chanito_nyc]

Dan... almost!

[@eemuhalinen8459]

Well Dan's prediction was way too close. Better stop.

[@joeyboy077]

looking back on this stage as Pogi dominates the 2024 tour de france. Really cool to see the beginning of his era here!

[@MUNEZEROImmanuel]

I came here for the same comment

[@tadejkorosec]

Stumbled across this one just now, two days after Tadej Pogačar, 25, won his third Tour de France and managed to do the Giro - Tour double, achieved again for the first time since 1998. Wow, just wow.

[@davefitzpatrick4841]

Loving the content GCN , thanks .

[@singingbush77]

well done GCN... i watched every second of this race and still had no clue what happened. it was like watching a horror movie mixed with the D-Day airborne invasion....carnage, confusion, people scattered all over the mountain... just a grand tour train wreck and it was awesome!

[@andraznogometas10]

GCN can you edit your video and also explain that Roglic crashed with a motorbike? That explains everything. He crashed and was than able to catch them again (besides Pogacar and Quintana), Lopez also crashed, so Valverde and Quintana were able to catch him. This changes everything, because Roglic had the legs and so did Lopez and if they both didn't crash, they would be fighting mano a mano for the win.

[@gcnracing]

Hi Andro. Sorry, I'd voiced this and we'd out it up before this became clear. It's too late for us to change now. Dan.

[@jasongirvan6729]

I love the GCN racing channel Dans voice is fantastic for the highlights, perfect tone, clear and enjoyable but for the races I’m sorry and I haven’t learned there name yet but the new fella (buzz cut blondie) has an exciting voice and keeps your eyes following and the GCN Español girl keeps the commentary clear and are a great team and she Dora’s a great job at keeping his excitement at the perfect level

[@beeble2003]

Jason Girvan I found the sound a bit weird on this one. Dan sounds like he’s on the phone.

[@klemenkavc1353]

To tadej pogacar svaka čast

[@matejkavc]

Pogi je car!

[@brunogripp]

Funny I was reviewing Vuelta 19 and it Dan Lloyd was prophetic, "it won't take long until this youngster wins a grand Tour." It took a little more than a year.

[@erezra]

The oracle of Dan :) This race is just awesome!

[@53glowe]

Dan's prediction for tomorrow...'bad coffee, because we're in France'. Love it...well done Dan 👍

[@1ddenis1]

Roglic crashed too...he would have red jersey or even a win for sure today...

[@pihi42]

Yes and it wasn't even his fault, but a motorbike's. Really, really bad luck for Roglič in this Vuelta so far. He would've been 1 minute ahead of everybody if not for the two crashes.

[@soundninja99]

He's in the lead for all I care. He'll take time on everyone on the tt

[@richardstewart5499]

Bad coffee tops a bad day in the saddle. One should never have to suffer such an off-the bike fate, Dan!

Thank you GCN I missed the end when TV coverage when out

[@ayatbaik]

After 2 super close results - I approve your Roglic predictions 😂😂

[@rahulkota1]

Woopsie...bad coffee cause they are in France!!! That was gold.

[@matejkavc]

Awesome highlights, GCN! Thanks

[@mhuten]

Dan got close again! Quintana did a good job. Moler got a little bit greedy i think. Dan, you always put a small smile into our face. :) We love you!.

[@TopgunB]

No mention of Roglics crash because of a motor bike? Or did you not know?

[@amanitamuscaria5284]

I bet my money with that prediction for sure.

[@chanito_nyc]

Quintana second in today’s stage! Ever so close Dan, ever so close.

[@eemuhalinen8459]

Let's go Quintana.

[@JMise]

My thoughts on the stage: Valverde must have been absolutely spent at the end, I was sure he would take the bonus seconds from Roglic, who looked super strong at the end. We'll see what happens at the TT. Movistar should have either let Soler go for the stage win or keep him helping much sooner. Madrazo must be happy about the result, 45 KOM points on offer and only one other guy ends up with a total of 20+.

[@Pdeloosha]

Great presenting Dan !

[@Mjayson]

You're right about your prediction..👌

[@dorfus71]

Thanks for continuing to post up these highlights. I had enjoyed watching NBC highlights as well, but those assholes decided to quit allowing us Canadians to watch them after stage 6

[@rokeroLN]

Congratulations Quintana

[@BlueEmulsion]

Nairo in Green

[@lupitlupitan]

Looks like quintana would need to have ala alaphillipe miracle to win itt. This has been the most brutal tour this year. Climbs at the start of the tour, changing leaders and a climber on a green jersey (lol)

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

Roglic certainly knows all about being Aero, his sports was more about aero than anything else.

[@alexb3805]

Feel sorry for mark soler

[@shelby4225]

Why feel bad for Soler? His job is to work for the Team Leader and nothing else. He is not paid to go for stage wins. This is one of the reasons Movistar is such a dysfunctional team and has trouble getting on the podium.

[@robertbuchannan81]

my yesterday prediction came true - Go Tadej, Go, show em how it's done.

[@Yu-Gi-OhSpecialGamers]

come on Nairo, come on López and come on Colombia la vuelta a España is also ours🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@Psysso]

Sorry but until both of them improve in TT i see none of them winining a GT.

[@vernefits1953]

[@eigobike3929]

Dan, you have found your proper space in cycling again. You are an accomplished professional cyclist as Mark Stephens is. The both of you have transitioned nicely from the other GCN angle of silly promotions. Your Vuelta segments are superior to what NBC is uploading. Shorter duration dailies meaning better editing and less b.s. Bad coffee, Who cares ? You are a beer drinker as I’ve seen. Have you ever watched the racer analyses by Lanterne Rouge on KZbin ? He is a genius too.

[@gcnracing]

I'll check them out. Thanks. Dan
