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

[Samu Cuenca]

The break looks doomed now. If Galván and Kamp hadn't been up there, it could have survived.

 

[Red Rick]

Still think the break might make it. 4 minutes on one climb is a lot these days.

From that group? Yeah, right. They would need at least 7.

Edit: Maybe Evans has a chance? He has won on the Col de la Loze in the Tour de l'Avenir.

Surely Arensman is more likely to make it? His TT yesterday suggests he's in pretty good form too.

Arensman normally has a chance.
But his start of the season doesn't exactly scream "top shape".

 

[tobydawq]

Yeah, obviously, sorry about that

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If they still have three minutes at the "bottom" of the climb, it's not impossible for someone to make it.

 

[tobydawq]

I still think they would need much more time. On the Prati di Tivo stage, they had a similar gap in the bottom and were nowhere near close to making it.

 

[topcat]

They're not going to make it, they never were

Mr. Stelvio putting the boot in

There is no Pogacar (and Ineos) who think they need to gain a lot of time on van Aert in Catalunya tho.

But I agree, it's going to be hard for the leading group.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yikes, Soler already dropped after riding a decent ITT.

 

[Sciatic]

Soler planning to go for the stage tomorrow. Or he just sucks today!

No, but we have Valverde

 

[Bolder]

Can dennis pull another Giro here?

 

[RedheadDane]

He's alive! (Valverde.)

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Old man on the loose!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Froometto!

 

[jaylew]

Ah yes makes sense, would be cool if he actually raced in those socks, just for laughs.

Occasionally a guy in one of my races shows up with those on . I always assume they're a former or current triathlete as they often race in them.

 

[Bolder]

Guess not, I thought he'd pull longer

 

[Sestriere]

Woods marking Valverde, someone check on Koronin's blood pressure.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Froometto!

He zoomed past Hirschi so he must be flying

 

[RedheadDane]

Respectable fight by Alexander.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bala!

 

[Cinemaniak]

Arensman climbing style reminds me of Pogacar.
