2022 Vuelta a Asturias (2.1) (29 Apr - 1 May)

[Ilmaestro99]

Yates' career summarised in one weekend

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Simon Yates remains the most compelling rider in the peloton.

His Giro rivals truly should be 'Shitting themselves.'

Well, I guess Dumoulin is on the startlist...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Today Simon’s magic 8 ball replied “signs point to yes”

 

[Ricco']

I find weird how Simon Yates in particular never peaked for the Ardennes in any year of his career. In one of his very good days he should do very well in Flèche and LBL.

Yates completes a hattrick of utter Yates performances in Asturias

All versions of Yates in 3 days.

Every race is one day too many for Yates. Should try Dunkerque.

Congrats to my hommie Sosa for his overall victory in Asturias.
keep them coming

 

[AlfaLum]

Every race is one day too many for Yates. Should try Dunkerque.

I think the Three days of the Panne could be his cup of tea.

Looks like Dani Navarro got a Nibali style car assistance today

¿Se hizo 'un Nibali' Dani Navarro? El gesto que está incendiando las redes sociales

En el final de la etapa de la Vuelta a Asturias se vivió una imagen un tanto polémica que no ha pasado desapercibida en las redes sociales. En ella se veía al ciclista del equipo B

According to the team he got his drive train locked in the 11t sprocket just before the last murito.

LOL. They should be harsher sanctions for these type of cheating. Not just disqualification. Not when it is this blatant!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

His riding this week makes perfect sense.

He doesn't want to become too expensive for people selecting him for the Giro CQ game, so by winning these 2 stages he got a good workout for just 40 points: if he had won the GC and all three stages that would have added 170 points to his game price.

Eminently sensible.

No DQ for this outrageous sticky bottle?

Mechanic has his hand on the saddle for the motor assist up the hill.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sorry, but if there is to be any semblance of sporting integrity this needs not just a DQ for the rider but the sort of sanction against the team that makes it far too costly to even consider doing.

SF200 (I believe the max penalty for this in this event) is evidently not enough sanction to prevent what brings the sport so totally into disrepute.

Still no DSQ as far as I can see.

The UCI spend/spent a lot of time checking for motors hidden in bikes.

Why would anyone bother if you can just hang on to a car whenever you feel like it?

It's uphill, so it's a Demare, not a Nibali

Demare wasn't caught on camera. His invisibility puts him on another level.

Navarro has finally been DQed.
