77th Tour de Romandie (2.UWT) // 23rd - 28th of April 2024

[Earns1985]

Thing with this sort of climb is it's not hard enough for GC, so they cancel each other out.

Vingegaard or Pogacar would still have won with 30 seconds advantage...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, besides Plapp trying to go full Aussie Ulle the gc action was a steaming pile of ***.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I have a hard time believing that was Reinderink and not Van Wilder, lol.

For people wondering how to pronounce Nys... closest you'll get is by using the American pronunciation of ass: N-ass.

UK commentators seem to go with' nace', to rhyme with race. Carlton Kirby is salivating.

 

[Red Rick]

Romandie deciding to turn this climb into a middling cat 2 finish is pure Romandie

 

[KZD]

Great win for Nys, he is actually a really good climber for someone so explosive which makes sense given that he only weighs around 65kilos.

Plapp doing the sort of thing he did on Paris Nice.

Arensman and Sivakov both over a minute behind.

Well, that's wrong.

Was thinking the same. Maybe on Reinderink’s bike.

 

[Salvarani]

Arensman and Sivakov both over a minute behind.

Arensman just here to roll through and get some miles before the Giro then. No GC ambitions for this race.

 

[Squire]

JSM disappointing too.

 

[Boes]

Well, that's wrong.

Actually sounds better n-ace then n-ass

On topic: what the hell are they feeding those crossers.

Getting the hard miles? Next Ineos GT winner confirmed

Ayuso confirming his co-leader status at the Tour by dropping only two seconds to Florian Lipowitz.

Remember Ayuso don't normal like shorter explosive climbs. Tomorrow and Saturday are the stages for him. Today was a day of defending his postions not by attacking and risk GC.

Now updated. Indeed.

 

[Didinho]

Thinking these GC guys didn’t want the leader jersey for the TT tomorrow.

I was joking, he finished best of the real GC riders. This wasn‘t a short explosive climb but the GC riders turned it into that.

I thought it was probably his team not giving him the opportunities of his contemporaries (Lecerf, Del Torro, Morgado etc). But maybe his mediocre season is just down to him not developing as quickly as anticpated?

Considering his U23 results, I'd say he's more than developed enough already. Most people with his pedigree has had no problems delivering something as a first year pro. He's looked good on a couple of days this season, but overall it's been pretty bad. Not sure what's up with him. Could be that his problems at the end of last season are still affecting him, or affected his build-up to the season.

Hindley lost 8 seconds. Arensman lost 47 seconds as well as Uran. Sivakov down 25 seconds further.

 

[jmdirt]

BIG win for TN!

Hindley lost 8 seconds. Arensman lost 47 seconds as well as Uran. Sivakov down 25 seconds further.

I was more surprised that Sheffield didn't try to hang on, given his time trial abilities. But maybe he preferred to take it easy today.

He was decent in Eibar, but that's pretty much it, no?

Very good in Flèche Wallonne too, and a few decent showings in Coppi&Bartali where he attacked in the final of a couple of stages.
