Congratulations to Remco. Certainly his GC win warrants QS taking a full GC team to the TDF 2023 and not a sprinter team as they usually do. Remco deserves the chance at going up against a full strength TJV led byJonas and a UAE led by Tadej. Sergio Hiquita was played like a violin by Carapaz at the end - 'shamed' into pulling and then left behind.

[@Qubie1]

I think taking a sprinter is a better idea actually. For one, they don't really have a full gc team, and it might also put too much pressure. Let him go for the experience the first time. With absolutely no pressure. And just make sure others are in the lead.

[@benji1681]

Equally they can do what some of the other gc teams do still take a sprinter but with only one or two lead out men giving them the chance but still support for other ambitions, works pretty well for jumbo at the moment

@@Qubie1 The problem is that in the TDF you are either a GC team or you are not. Trying to be a mix of pure sprinters, pure climbers etc - each seeking stage wins never works and Remco will get frustrated.

There are many situation that almost make me laugh in requesting collaboration. 2 examples 1) stage 19 Mas attacks, sees Remco on his wheel and immediately ask him to pull. But Remco has nothing to gain for being alone with MAS and work with 10 second or less on the GC group. Create a good gap and then ask for collaboration. 2) Roubaix 2020 (Corbelli win). VDP reaches the leader group, immediately tryes to leave them behind and when he sees it won't work asks for collaboration. Never ever you will obtain it in that momente because my first tought would be that you will let me and the others pull their turn and then attack again. 1st you should pull "regular" to show you want to go togheter then you will get collaboration.

[@japphan]

So many commentors that didn't watch the stage are hating on Carapaz, which is beyond me. Higuita didn't pull because of Meintjes, or so he stated, to not have to pull. No matter if it was team loyalty or clever use of the GC standings, I commend Higuita for how he rode. When Meintjes got dropped, Carapaz demanded cooperation, as he should. He had pulled for Higuita for a long time, and then they shared, to give the 2 of them the greatest chance of winning. Neither of them knew who was the stronger of the two, and neither knew how hard the GC group would go. So, Carapaz got annoyed becuase, in Carapaz' mind, Higuita didn't race for his own chances if he didn't pull. When Higuita realized this, probably with support from his team car, he started pulling. Now, Carapaz should have given Higuita 20 seconds on his wheel before demanding a pull. If you want to hate on him for those 20 seconds, go ahead.

The young riders really surprised us this Vuelta. Evenepoel was 3rd on my podium before the start, behind Roglic and Mas, but he won. I didn't dare put Ayuso in the top 10, because the team would go for Almeida, just like Rodriguez, Sivakov and Hart because Carapaz was the leader in the standings. Maybe a little chanc for Sivakov. Sivakov got corona, Hart unfortunately had a bad day (glad to see that he showed that the Giro win was no coincidence). Ayuso is 19 and on the podium of the Vuelta. Rodriguez is 21 and finishes 7th (maybe 6th). Evenepoel is 22 and wins. Bernal, Pogacar and Vingegaard were and are also very young, but we have not often seen as young as in this Vuelta.

Wow! So much hate for Carapaz in this channel, makes no sense

[@douglasmoreira5650]

He is overrated even by himself. Granted he is a good rider and excellent climber who unfortunately cannot be ranked with the winner gc riders of the peloton so he will always be a stage winner but never a gc winner. There are many reasons why he has the success he has had. Too many to list here. He, like Bernal have benefited from circumstance and NOT ability…the media and carapaz himself happen to believe this “hype” but knowledgable cycling viewers recognize a opportunist when they see one. Any “good” rider can breakaway and win stages when they are ignored by the peloton when they are behind by 27 minutes. A true champion would be fighting for the GC or helping rodriguez who was the better rider than carapaz and would have done much better if rc would have helped him instead of selfishly going for his own glory. NOT a good teammate which is why movistar, ineos let him go and he finds himself on a soon to be relegated team one of whom he has already pissed off…he is a wheelsucker who never pulls…

[@diegonarvaez7487]

@@douglasmoreira5650 It is the same speech of the fans who hate a cyclist, they only speak of opportunism, but when it is a runner of their choice, then they consider it a feat. He helped Rodriguez in 2 stages, otherwise he lost at least 5 more minutes, and so you say that he is a bad partner; Was he supposed to push him the whole stage?

Sadness for roglic New video played at super slow shows Wright have roglic a push and roglic thus crashes Approx 40% chance that w o crash roglic wins gc

[@christiantermont4281]

And this based on what? Three accelerations of 1 to 3 KMS? He did not do well in the remaining stages and actually was dropped by Remco a few times. It is 100 percent idle speculation to think he would have done better than Mas in the last week.

That's the I hate most about cycling -->> You can become the winner of a staged race BEFORE the tour actually ends. I know that's how it works out, but I HATE it. The LAST stage should be ultimately decisive!

what does it change to have an extra stage at the end just to let the rider enjoy it ? It really makes you" hate" cycling ? are you serious lol And it's a last chance for sprinters to get one

[@MDP1702]

The idea that a last stage should be ultimately decisive is stupid imo, then you could as well just make it a one day race. An ITT or hard climbing day in the end might be interesting, but you also don't want the race to remain closed in almost all other stages like in this years giro (baring that one hilly/medium mountain stage) and such a last hard day is never a certainty if there is just a strong leader.

Noooo he still says MENKIES :( he doesn't read to comments confirmed

[@japphan]

If by "he" you mean Louis Meintjes, you are correct. The man himself pronounces it with a K-sound. Could you please call Meintjes after this vuelta so he can learn how his name is pronounced?

[@tonywestermann6610]

Please Red Lantern, put some effort into your pronunciation of Meintjes. Ask someone Dutch. Community, rest your fingers, I know he's South African. It all stems from the same place.

[@tonywestermann6610]

On reconsideration, I could have been a bit more helpful. I think you are close enough if you say 'Mine-chuss' . So, ''Mein-' becomes 'Mine' as in 'fine' and '-tjes' becomes ''chuss' as in 'chess' but with a schwa, an unstressed e. The 'ei' (and 'ui') sound doesn't really exist in English and we shouldn't be too fussy about these things. Side note: remember what the French did with our great Hennie Kuiper, pronunciation-wise?

[@RubenTheCartographer]

There is no K in Meintjes!! It is just a T and not IES but JUS (pronounced) the second part

In the end he finally got the legs he wanted. He could have won today and if he did, this would be seen as a good Vuelta from him.

That's why Carapaz got angry. He thought Higuita no longer was riding for his own chances, and Higuita agreed after 3 seconds of contemplating, and never changed his mind.

@@paulsolon6229 Roglic made the mistake of wanting to get in between van Poppel and Wright and still want to sprint, which was bizarre as he was in the lead for miles on end and didn't play for the stage win. Impossible for the sprinting Wright to avoid him. It is logical that he chooses the wheel, but if he had waited a while, he became 2nd this Vuelta and we got extra excitement.

[@michaelstoecker4178]

@@bram.desmet8687 First of all, Roglic is a racer, and a very competitive one at that. He slotted in behind van Poppel (?) because he could - Wright was not there. I don't understand how anyone can blame Roglic because he "shouldn't have been there", or some such nonsense. And, by the way, Roglic was already in 2nd place in GC when he crashed ... (sorry, if your point about his placement in GC was lost a bit in translation).

[@bram.desmet8687]

@@michaelstoecker4178 It wasn't a logical decision to suddenly get involved in the sprint, after he clearly moved to the other side of the road and didn't sprint. The crash was an unfortunate event that happened by accident, but could have been easily avoided had he chosen the last wheel and let the sprinters who were in his wheel do their sprint. Indeed, Roglic was 2nd in GC at the time of the crash and would be in that position in Madrid as well. Evenepoel recovered as the pain subsided and probably wouldn't lose the red jersey, but with Roglic there it would have been a lot more exciting than now, with Mas knowing he couldn't drop a pain-free Evenepoel. Moreover, Roglic is always nice to have around. Too bad he disappeared from the race again in such a painful way after a year of bad luck. Hopefully 2023 will be his lucky year.
