Vuelta a Espana: Rigoberto Urán wins stage 17 following dramatic uphill sprint in Tentudía
CyclingWednesday, 07 September 2022 at 17:05
Colombia and EF Education-EasyPost have had reasons to smile today as Rigoberto Urán returned to the top step, winning stage 17 of the Vuelta a Espana after joining the day's breakaway.
The day started off with the negative news that Primoz Roglic had abandoned the race following the injuries sustained in yesterday's crash. Three other riders abandoned the race, leading the breakaway to have even more chances of succeeding. Most knew this, which led to a very fast and aggressive start, in which 13 riders took advantage of to go up the road: Lawson Craddock, Clément Champoussin, Bob Jungels, Gino Mäder, Rigoberto Urán, Quentin Pacher, Alessandro De Marchi, Kenny Elissonde, Marc Soler, Élie Gesbert, Simon Gugliemi and Fred Wright.
The peloton let the gap grow into 7 minutes, with the win certain in front as no team looked concern about the move - despite the presence of 11th place at the GC Urán. The attacks started inside the final 30 kilometers with Lawson Craddock repeatedly attempting to form a small group ahead, eventually the American jumped off alone and started the final climb with a slim advantage over the rest of the chasers.
Before the final steep four kilometers Urán, Gesbert and Champoussin attacked in the group. Whilst Gesbert cracked Pacher reconnected, but the gap to Craddock remained constant into the final 3 kilometers as Soler, Herrada and Elissonde bridged across aswell. Outside the final kilometer Urán and Herrada managed to reach Craddock, but the attacks kept on coming from several riders who had similar legs on the day.
Herrada made a move which seemed decisive inside the final kilometer, but Urán managed to bridge across near the end. It was a gruelling finale where all were on the limit, but the Colombian managed to take the win, beating Quentin Pacher and Jesús Herrada who completed the podium.
In the peloton Movistar Team set up a move from Enric Mas in the final ascent, which came in it's early kilometers, however with Remco Evenepoel promptly responding. João Almeida took advantage of the aggressive racing however to make a move right after, which has seen him win some seconds on the competition. Evenepoel led the rest of the GC group into the finish

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024
