2024 Tirreno - Adriatico, March 4-10

[Bolder]

He looked like he still had two more gears after the second dig.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Absolutely brutal attack by Jonas. Damn, what power.

 

[Salvarani]

Ayuso and Hindley are doing very well.

 

[Salvarani]

Del Toro coming back!

 

[Netserk]

Del Toro paces himself back to the chase group, overtaking Vauquelin.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Easier for Del Toro to get back with 2 cars in front of him

 

[Volderke]

When will they learn ...do not follow him directly
Wait and set a tempo to bring the gap down

You can't bring the gap down on Vingegaard uphill, maybe, just maybe if you are a Pogacar in best shape.

 

[JosefK]

TDF over? ... If Pogi was not doing the Giro, maybe there could be hope for a battle. But seriously ...

 

[postmanhat]

Why doesn't Ayuso just sit up and let Hindley do all the work?

 

[KZD]

At this pace, Del Toro is going to finish the stage next to Ayuso again.

Today Pidcock better

 

[kn0s]

They are holding on very well.

 

[Volderke]

Clearly doesn't drop them by raw acceleration. He's just clearly fresher. Ayuso was straight on the wheel the first 10 seconds.

He accelated twice. Once he saw Ayuso was on the wheel and Hindley was as well after gritting his teeth, he thought, OK, you had hopes, I will crush them by shifting in 2nd gear. No 3rd and 4rd needed.

 

[Peyroteo94]

TDF over? ... If Pogi was not doing the Giro, maybe there could be hope for a battle. But seriously ...

Without crashes, it seems we already have the winner of each GT
Giro - Pogacar
Tour and Vuelta - Vingegaard

 

[Tim Cahill]

TDF over? ... If Pogi was not doing the Giro, maybe there could be hope for a battle. But seriously ...

2025 Tour is over after watching this day, maybe 2026 too

 

[The Clogger]

TDF over? ... If Pogi was not doing the Giro, maybe there could be hope for a battle. But seriously ...

I think Pogi will be better than ever at the Tour de France. Giro will be his warmup race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I've seen enough. Del Toro Giro 2027 win confirmed.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

You have to say Vingegaard is a magnificent athlete, though you'd never have known to look at him

one wonders how many young guys in chicken factories are out there that never try and don't know what they are capable of

EDIT Of course its not just about ability , its also about character and training

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard taking the under on that 2 minute gap bet.

He doesn't look superb. Probably at the same level as last year but without Pogi, he seems better

 

[kn0s]

He looks a little cooked today

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard taking the under on that 2 minute gap bet.

Feeling yesterday, or just going steady? It has stayed on ~30" for a long time now.

 

[Bolder]

Del Toro really impressive. Don't miss the hype train.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ben O'Connor and Thymen Arensman do a turn on front when it makes sense challenge - Impossible.

 

[kn0s]

He looked better on Angliru.

 

[Netserk]

Hindley should give it a go, he gains nothing from staying put.

 

[Salvarani]

DEL TORO
