It’s because the production of the Vuelta is so much better than the TdF or Giro

It’s always been this way. I wished UCI would use this production for all events. NBC just uses whatever feed the organizers use

He did get the Rona. So maybe that is still affecting him

Rog on the last km today was amazing. That finish in the fog was a great sight to see, Bernal showed more heart today and yesterday than he has in his career

It is sad we didn't get the Rog v Pog showdown again at the tour this year. Right now if one of them is in a stage race we need both of them because otherwise they just manhandle the peloton. Mas and Lopez seem to be on good form which amplifies how good Roglic looks.

Head and shoulders above the rest. Team Rog here.

I just wonder who their "Dr. Ferrari" is, whomever it is he/she is good.


BTW I am on record saying PEDs in pro cycling don't really bother me as they have been around in some form or fashion since Edoardo Bianchi started brazing frames.

What a ride and way to end the Vuelta

ROG just dropped the hammer.

I think he won
2 ITT and 2 individuals this race with 2 crashes

What happened to Bernal yesterday?

Bernal was suffering from the attack with Rog the stage before.

I lost some respect for Superman unless your leg is broke ride it out son.

Roglic looked invincible almost the entire Vuelta.

Figured I would just tack this on here. Miguel Angel Lopez had his contract terminated by Movistar.

While I think it was a bad look I think Superman did more than enough pulling in the Vuelta helping Mas in a decimated team to keep him on. He did win the queen stage of the Vuelta which was the only GT stage win for Movistar this year. Unless this was mutual I think he got screwed even though I did say I lost some respect for him after stage 20.

Dude straight up quit.

Not in a "oh he's not giving 100%" sense, he literally threw a hissy fit and climbed off the bike because he got turned over by the attacks.

Bow down to Ala. Dude freaking flew up those climbs like I have never seen. Greatness was on display today in an era dominated by WVA and MVDP for the one days. Looking forward to Paris Roubaix. Rain might be in the forecast too!
