Good for you that you think you are funny. Can you repeat false statements again and again every time Evenepoel races?

Pretty good performance from Laurens Huys as well. A good day for Belgium.

 

[Bonimenier]

Only 3 riders older than 23 in the top 10. Evenepoel showing again he can win junior races.

 

[Big Doopie]

Cian!

I'm sure tomorrow's race will settle the pissing contest for once and for all. If he wins, we'll know he's a climber. If not, we'll know he's an overhyped turd.

Personally I'm just going to enjoy the racing.

I'm beginning to lean slightly away from overhyped turd. But that's probably just me being too volatile.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Best climbing performance for Evenepoel in a good while, the field isn't the strongest but he was still up against some of the best climbers in his age group so that's a good sign for him going forward. Johannessen evidently not at his Catalunya (or Bessèges, based on how much he lost to Vine by) level but I'll hold my hands up and admit he almost certainly wouldn't have been able to stay with him even in top form.

Yes, absolutely only you. Everyone else screams overhyped turd.

His bike handling remains turd-like.

Well he did manage to outsprint 3-4 year younger Uijtdebroeks in the end. So there's that at least.

People who have not yet voted still have 25 minutes before the poll who will win the Tour of Norway ends!

The hype around Chaves lacked credibility - Chaves could not ride the Giro because he was ill after the Tour of the Alps, so he was never gong to be a major factor in Norway - Plapp's climbing performances in 2022 have been pleasantly surprising - I already have Plapp pinned as the favorite for the 2023 TDU, unless O'Grady can convince Remco to come for the race.

Yeah, that wasn't said jokingly - not in the slightest.

Thanks.

Voted Remco.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Flower power!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Feels great watching a race where the production is on point with relevant motobike-reporting! God damn.

 

[Big Doopie]

only disappointment...gaps large enough that remco won't go on a 40 km raid later on in the week.

:-(

Or gaps are large enough that Remco feels safe enough to try a 40 km raid later on this week.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

expected winner in this field.

Jay Vine did really well tho!

 

[Netserk]

From what I've seen on twitter, he did the climb with a VAM of 1723 m/h.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I was standing about 4 km from the finish and boy did Remco look not affected at all. This was his easiest mountain stage win so far.

How much of the flat was included?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

How much of the flat was included?

I think it’s the whole climb. But if that’s the case that should still be weighted out by the strong tailwind in the unprotected last 3 km. Down in the forest the wind was almost not notable (atleast from like 5 to 3,5ish km remaining) from what I felt walking along the road.

Would be some 1830 VAM. Massive tailwind though.
