🇪🇸 #LaVuelta20
Another long & tough day at @lavuelta... but it ended with @ReinvanRensburg taking 6️⃣th in the uphill sprint finish. 🖐
His thoughts on stage 15 ⬇️
English

@donnachaG07 @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling Probably not the best, but at least his hands are on the handlebar. Also at 74km out not expecting leadout trains violently bumping in from the side and sprinters cutting in front of him at any moment before the next turn.
English

@LeanJvR @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling So this is ok from today!!!! No control whatsoever if the rider hits a stone..... front of the bunch doing 70kph

English

@donnachaG07 @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling Czech Tour TTT stage 1. Look at any TT crash for that matter to see the control in this position. Not many reckless enough to do it in road race, especially a sprint. Look what happened at 3-4km when he switched the rider behind him while in this position. Crashes due switching..
English

@LeanJvR @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling So one crash in over 15 months!!!! Yep that’s dangerous alright!!!
English

@donnachaG07 @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling There's plenty of crashes in TTT where that riding position contributed to a crash. First one that comes to mind is last year's stage 1 Vuelta. Point is, it's not suitable in a leadout to a chaotic mass sprint.
English

@donnachaG07 @charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling Plenty, look at Team Time Trail crashes. Mind you this was done during a leadout in final km's.
English

@charliezeelie @ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling Stupid comment.... I suppose you ll be saying next don’t cross the road in case we get knocked down by a car or don’t fly in case the plane crashes. How many crashes are to blame for riding in this position?
English

@olliesmith_17 @terdofhurtles You often see it in team time trails. Stability is a issue, especially in the leadout to a chaotic sprint finish.
English

@terdofhurtles So this is where my question comes from. I agree it doesn’t look particularly stable, and I can’t imagine it would take much to cause a crash - but I cannot think of a time this has happened. I’ve seen more accidents in feed zones or from dropped bottles, but these aren’t banned?
English

@ReinvanRensburg @UCI_cycling 1-2 km to go approaching the most decisive turn into the Finish.
Sprint teams make hectic late attempts to get into position.
Riders bumped elbowws all over.
Last thing you want is a rider at the front of a finale with hands off the handlebar.
Unprofessional and unnecessary risk
English

Tried my all today, but unfortunately it didn't quite work out. Disapointing for sure, but also unreal to hit these cobles in front in letourdefrance
Thank you also for all the well… instagram.com/p/BlQhLAggqOK/…
