100th Volta Ciclista a Catalunya(2.UWT) - 22nd March - 28th March

[SafeBet]

Great ride from Lotto. In the early break with a youngster, got the KOM yersey. Then in that big group with 3 riders (Kron, Van Gils & Kron) and then finally Kron in that decisive break.

This Kron dude is everywhere!

Kron lost a sprint to Campenaerts in BBT 2019, so i would say Sanchez.

I think he might have been a little bit gassed that time...

Movistar got their ninth top ten of the season out of that, a job well done.

Everyone was wondering why they were riding hard. There is your answer!!!

Oh please no new Harper(s)...

Lotto Soudal doing their homework. Catching up with other teams by cloning their riders.

Both were near death after hanging on to Evenepoel for a long while.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Top tens are so much better than winning

A major fail by TBE - Had 5 or 6 riders in the group - Needed one rider on the front when the break went and then Chaves to bring it back on the last final climb - TBE have a limited roster so they need to take their chances.

 

[johnymax]

So who is starting a Danish Kron(e) thread?

 

[tobydawq]

Oh please no new Harper(s)...

I hope the forum has enough sense not to make one typo from one poster become a meme but you never know.

That 's possible, but like i said, Campenaerts was in the same break all day and was doing most of the work there. After that, they were both just hanging on to Evenepoel. The stage 3 days earlier where Campenaerts couldn't hold the wheel of Evenepoel, showed that that was far from a comfortable ride for Campenaerts as well. I think it's fair to say Campenaerts was also gassed.

Of course, Kron was only 20 back then, so he might have grown stronger and he might have started focusing more on his sprint as well.

You wanna repeat that?

2nd Kron should've been Vanhoucke.

I don't know what to tell you but evidently that sprint did not say anything about his current sprinting level.

I think most people are saying that a sprint after being in a break and suffering all day isn't the same as sprinting after a 20km break. Him beating Ulissi last year in Luxembourg was probably a better indication.

So why exactly Movistar pulled so hard? To drop Sagan to let his GC team mate later because they were done? Questionable tactics.

Moniquet was dangerous for the GC. They needed to catch him asap.

 

[BlueRoads]

That second break today really didn't go on long and Kron didn't do much work in it.
So I have no idea what his level really is, but at the beginning of the season the moderators here were going on and on how he's one to watch.
We will see what more is to come.

 

[Fernandez]

Movistar doing its things...
Edit.: to be fair, they probably though they would decimate more the peloton; when they saw there were still 100 riders they knew the stage was very difficult.

They seem to live in their own world now. One would think that happens when you read the asmfm.ma thread too often, but they did it even before that, so it must have other reasons.

 

[yaco]

I was wrong about TBE - They had the whole team in the split - They should have brought that break back, especially seeing only 2 riders will go 'full gas' in tomorrow's ITT.

 

[el_angliru]

Kron is a great name for a bike rider. "Kronrør" is Danish for head tube (rør=tube).

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Movistar should follow Lotto's example and start Kroning their riders.

 

[SafeBet]

Froome, Meintjes, Jungels lost over 8 minutes.
Poels more than 14.

Everyone on PCS like; "Now, who the *** is this kid?"
