Colombia Tierra de Atletas has nothing to do with Colombia es Pasión. CTA is a merger of 3 teams in 2019: Coldeportes Zenu (DS: Carlos Mario Jaramillo, the Colombian useless DS), Strongman (DS: Luis Alfonso Cely) y GW-Shimano (JJ Gonzalez). OTOH, Pedaleamos Colombia (Saldarriaga, Rios, Vélez)...

I know Urán is kind of ninja, but he finished in the top-10 in the ORR, and was probably the only one trading pulls with WvA (also attacked with Woods and alone with 5Km to go). Urán also emptied himself and cracked in TdF in a less than perfect preparation. Other riders who went deep in RR...

He actually attacked twice, the UK peloton, and then the breakaway. Too bad he slept when Vino countered.

Yates has been the best climber in two climbs. Bernal in Passerino, San Giacomo, Campo Felice, Passo del Lume Spento, Zoncolan and Giau. Other teams have lost key riders, Ineos only Sivakov. Why did Yates attack so early?.. He needed to! For once, he took time, but also he would really know...

Bolivia is like 2000Kms away from Colombia, with 2 countries in between

We can speculate all we want, and we will only find out when the race is over, if ever. If it's a bad day after a rest day, if it's Bernal's back or if he's fading. I don't think it's the later, 2 days ago he put 45 secs on the next rider in Giau. And today he only conceded against Yates (and...

Apart from not having intermediate splits, they are missing times for so many riders

He was using a Garmin Forerunner 935, a rather recent Triathlon watch. He reportedly didn't use it in a while, so he just recharged it and turned it on. Hence the Dec 20 date and the evident problem locking satellites

When you have more than 2 minutes over the peloton, with 2 teammates. With 4 other riders equally interested in coming back in the GC, 3 of them also with teammates. And in the peloton, Ineos was losing units.... Yeah, barely won some seconds. He attacked with 60 to go. Had Valverde kept the...

Great win by Woods. Well deserved. Gutsy: He took the chance of attacking in the uphill and rode alone for around 10K. And Smart: He covered the attacks and counter at the end. All while defending his teammate in the GC. BTW, I think Valverde made a huge mistake attacking the breakaway with...

I wonder if Valverde and others just destroyed their own chances. With such a big break, with helpers, they should have worked together at least until the next climb. Buying some time assurance and saving legs for the last 25-30 Kms

Perfect situation for Ravanelli

Not a famous one but the magic number (6) and 3 pretty decent TTers. Had it been a flat stage, the peloton would have had a hard time to catch them

These comments have been floating around for over half an hour and it was labeled as "confirmed" by NOSwielrennen. And, as such, broadcasted repeteadly. It looks like it's still missing real confirmation Also Amanda Spratt suspected collarbone fracture Still hoping for the best

Broken wrist for Van Vleuten... So sad for her, being the leader of such an important race
