Summary

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down David Gaudu's incredible ride to win the third stage of the Vuelta a España, where Jonas Vingegaard put in another strong sprint to pick up a third-place time bonus to further extend his lead on his GC rivals. Before they go, they analyze Derek Gee's contract dispute with his Israel-Premier Tech team and his likely move to Ineos over the off-season, and preview tomorrow's stage, which will feature another tricky uphill sprint, and discuss how they think the race will unfold and who presents the best betting value.

In the case of Jonas Fingerguard, in this Vuelta Spencer, I'm not overly concerned about that.

0:06.7

I think he's just that much better than his rivals.

0:11.7

It won't really matter.

0:15.1

I kind of agree.

0:16.3

I think he might agree.

0:17.6

And that's kind of what makes it weird.

0:19.1

Because why are you sprinting for mid-stage bonus seconds if you know that you're that much better it kind of does make you think

0:25.9

he's going for green already which is yeah which is very ambitious it's very uny on yonis actually

0:32.6

that's why i'm so surprised like the man has been so measured and conservative and that's how he's had success.

0:39.0

And then we're seeing it's like he swapped brains with Taday Pagaccha from 2022. He's just

0:44.2

renting for everything.

0:48.4

Everybody, welcome back to the Move Plus. I'm Spencer Martin. I'm here with Johann Brunil and

0:52.5

we are breaking down and analyzing stage three of the Volta, Espanyal won by David Godu over Mads Pedersen and Jonas Finnegard mixing it up in an uphill sprint. We will get into what that means for the GC and then at the end we will predict tomorrow's stage four and give our picks for it. But Johan, just to get right into it, Godu wins, huge win for both him and Groupama, FDJ, I looked it up. It was his first world tour win in, I think, three seasons. So that's, that's, he was due. Also potentially signals that he could be up there in the G.C. That he's coming to this race incredibly fit. I was devastated. I picked Petterson to win. You pick Stuyven, or I'm sorry, Hesper Philipson.

1:32.8

And the race was just generally the stage in my mind was way harder than I thought. It would be on paper.

1:39.1

The midstage climb, little trek was pacing. They dropped the sprinters there.

1:43.7

Pedersen gets the points behind

1:45.8

the two-rider breakaway. Sean Quinn went through and picked up the max points. Pedersen gets third.

1:51.4

Kind of oddly, Jonas Vindigard comes in fourth to pick up 13 points. We don't quite know what was going

1:57.3

on there. And maybe he's going for green already. But then they kind of start this drag up to the final climb. And Little Trek is just pacing so hard. They dropped Phillips in very early. I'm sure they wanted to do that. They were nervous about that. But in the end, they should have been worried about a different type of writer. I mean, they got beat by, I mean, how much lighter do you think David Gooddo is than

2:18.8

Pedersen?

2:19.6

Like, he must be almost 20 kilos less.

2:23.7

And it was a harder finish than I thought.
