Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2020 (La Vuelta Ciclista a España)

[Grassmarket 4,321]

Tricky lead-in at the end with some spectacular accordion-effect turns.

 

Ackerman got the lead-out he wanted, but Bennett closed him down in the last 20m.

 

Everyone else home safely.

And Bennett with the win, Mareczko sprinting like a madman and doing 500 meters extra for no reason.

Deceuninck-Quickstep’s 100th Grand Tour win, not bad.  Cofidis....still a bit of a gap.

And back to someone else having a chance for their 100th GT stage win, since Bennett has been relegated due to pretending to be a battering ram and Ackermann wins it after all.

Pat The King of Hypocrisy Lefevere is mad.

 

 

 

Don Pat's reaction alone makes the DQ a right decision already.

Building up to a sprint today, but there’s a short steep climb up to the line, so wide open.

Bennett has been dropped from the peloton by the way.

[heywoodu 16,476]

I should have spent more than just a minute looking at the profile before making my predictions, completely missed it's more of an uphill finish than a sprint finish  

 

Today would have been a perfect day to pick Aranburu or something..

Roglič gets it, so 10 secs bonus & maybe 1 more in a split.

[heywoodu 16,476]

Choosing Ackermann and Bennett for this  Oh my, the failure is too big.
