2019 Tour of the Alps 22 - 26 April

[Bolder]

^^No doubt re Giro, but I assume he's lining up at Liege to go for the win, not just a tour of the Ardennes, as beautiful as it is.

 

[Red Rick]

Now watch Sky pull hard enough to land Masnada in 3rd.

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali should just leave a gap for Geoghan Hart to close and troll him if he wants to keep 2nd on GC

 

[The Chicken]

Why is Sivakov leading on this descent?

Re:

It’s insane how many times random sky domestiques have beaten grand tour champions contador, nibs and Quintana in one week stage races

Well these SKY domestiques also become champions

But the same can be said about Astana

Guess Astana and SKY prepare well and buy best

 

[sir fly]

Masnada's lead should stretch a bit due to this arguing, but the group will be much faster on the flat piece.

 

[The Chicken]

lol @ the commentators trying to make out that this is going to be close

 

[Lexman]

where's Froome? and Bilbao? I just start following...

Re:

Froom did the majority of the climb and dropped off just after dropping Nibali and just before Nibali attacked. Bilbao was dropped by Froome I think.

Re:

Froome has dropped in the final part of the climb

 

[Climbing]

Nibbles fancy a podium.

 

[Lexman]

Hirt group isn't far from Sivakow Nibbles it seems?

 

[sir fly]

Nibali has put in a great effort this week.
He's built up the good form already before the race. Some fine tuning after the Liege, and he'll be razor-sharp for the Giro.
Should be careful, though. After the opening tt there are not many challenges until another tt.

 

[Laplaz]

Masnada is the new Cancellara

 

[HelloDolly]

Masnada to SKY now I suppose

 

[Climbing]

Well deserved win by Masnada.

 

[MADRAZO]

Quintero helping to pull here in the end must be the dumbest tactic ever if there were no agreement.

 

[Lexman]

where's that MAsnada come from, never so heard from him before...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gianni Salvio felicissimo

 

[sir fly]

Congrats to Masnada.
Brave ride and deserved prize.

Congrats to Sivakov, too.
He had a domestique par-excellence.

Re:

Fracking team.

 

[Scarponi]

Did every local business get on Masnadas Jersey ?

 

[rick james]

I'm away to the clinic...

Didn't you watch last years Giro, for instance?

Quintero helping to pull here in the end must be the dumbest tactic ever if there were no agreement.

Either dumb or money.
