Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

[Ilmaestro99]

Why is Roglic winning. I thought he was a bad rider now?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Even the interviewer pointing out that the parcours is easier this year and Jonas agreeing that the last stage is by far the most important.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is about the funniest thing that could've happened for it to kick off between Evenepoel and Roglic, it's just unfortunate that Vingegaard is here so we probably won't get to see some proper wheelsucking action.

 

[Brullnux]

Remco lost more than 15 seconds there. He would lose by 5 seconds, not more.

Yeah realistically they'd be very close if neither had made a mistake. But they did, so its now 11s

Drank some red bull, almost flew the other way

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yeah Roglic looks mega-thin in that interview

 

[Ulle97]

Mystery about Jonas...... He seems to habitually shed time in time trials during the season, yet he delivers one of the most sensational time trials this century in the TDF.

It's hard to know where his actual ability is as a time trialer!!

 

[Peyroteo94]

Seriously, we see Vingegaard's interview and Roglic's interview and seems so easy to like Roglic when Vingegaard looks so robotic that it is so difficult to cheer for a guy like him. At least he is not a wheelsucker and a way more agressive rider compared to Roglic.

Already posted this in other part of the forum.

When in doubt, pay attention to the median ITT, not the 3rd week, post restday, freak MTT when everyone's *** tired after Jumbo has drilled it non stop for 2 weeks.

I think if that had been a day 1 ITT, the gaps would have been a lot smaller

 

[velaso montador]

3 weeks TT are not about TT'ing so much as its its about recovery. Basic stuff. Vingegaard is not top 20 TTer in the world by any means, never has been.

Important to remember that the '22 TT was stage 20, which more often reflect where you are at physically than pure TT ability, and the '23 TT was up a hill.

Yeah I reckon he'll lose time on the first ITT in the Tour and then smash Stage 21.

What about week 1 TTs in the Tour?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Short-hair Evenepoel looks like he's spent 10 years in the Gulag.

Rogla would also have handed Van Aert and Pogi their asses, had he been there.

It has been explained 100 times, there is no mystery. Jonas is a top 10 TT'er in the first part of a race and a top 3 in the last part. Not rocket science.

 

[Froome]

Rogla would also have handed Van Aert and Pogi their asses, had he been there.

Except if the TT finish on LPDBF.

 

[Bolder]

These helmet contraptions hurt my eyes.

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah Roglic looks mega-thin in that interview

So maybe just really affected by the cold and rain in PN, which was his first race this year.

 

[Salvarani]

Barely noticed but Schachmann is alive?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Izagirre also agrees that this route is "not the best for this race". The interviewer is raising the subject with everybody so it's clear that there's some dissatisfaction with the parcours at ETB.

Mate, wout would top 5 todays TT how does that equate right? and roglic will never ride a 22km TT 3 mins faster than wout.

 

[Faserr]

Barely noticed but Schachmann is alive?

He is optimistic again. He got some bad illness during the last 2 years and he is optimistic now , after consulting some experts.
He trained really well in Andora. Lets see. His numbers must be good again.

I don't fancy Wout on Monte Lussari tbh
