2024 Tirreno - Adriatico, March 4-10

[roundabout]

Cian "Crying about Boras Time Trial Setup" Uijtdebroeks ate 1:10 today.

Think he finished 129th in the end.

Unless he had a major issue/was told to go super slow by the team, this is very ironic.

 

[Salvarani]

Wow Ayuso's English is so good, barely any accent. I wouldn't even know he's a Spaniard just based on the interview. I know the Spaniards of old like Valverde would probably shake their heads.

He is more American than Spanish tbf.

He said it rained when he rode. But it wasn't more than some drizzle, he's just not a good TTer, and well Visma's set up isn't anything special.

 

[Lequack]

He is more American than Spanish tbf.

So he's basically the next Lemond.

 

[roundabout]

On the replay Ayuso was finishing ahead of an Intermarche rider so it's possible that having 1 or more riders to pass made the difference.

 

[Froome]

Can someone help me understand how Vingo doesn’t win this walking his bike across the line?

It would be bad for the race if he killed the competition today. He is humble. Now we have some suspense, and entertainment, because he will attack from far on san giacomo!

 

[Netserk]

Vauquelin isn't worse than someone like Arensman

He lost 5 minutes on Couillole last year in Paris-Nice. I don't know any better performance on a big climb similar to Petrano.

 

[postmanhat]

Missed the TV coverage. Presumably Carapaz didn't have a good day?

Thought it was neutralized?

Ujtedbreckes has a good chance for a top 10. Probably he will cry to the medias if visma doesn't have everyone to support his quest for 8th overall. Jonas saving energy.

 

[scribers]

Why didn’t he save energy at Camino?

He crashed, which is one of his main problems, staying on his bike.
He was 5th on the stage before that. We'll have to see. I rate him, or atleast in one weeks in this field. Not to win of podium for top 5 yes. But you're right that he doesn't really have a good performance on a longer climb.

I also don't rate Arensman that high in one weeks.

Aah.

Slowest of the Vismas too. 12 seconds slower than Tulett who was 6th best from the team.

Ahh Tulett another one who once was a good Time Trialist

 

[Didinho]

I will never laugh at the specialized helmets again.

Tulett is likely to be lower in the team hierarchy so I can imagine that he would be less likely to do the TT full gas.

 

[Froome]

The dawg was faster than uijdtbroeks and carapaz. The hard work is paying off.
@Taxus4a unbeliavable performance.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good for the race that Vingegaard lost a decent amount of time, will now have the incentive to absolutely nuke it up the Monte Petrano. Time to be concerned about the tt setup though maybe he hasn't done much on the bike over the winter.

Surely Usroisjftiaidosjf sat up on purpose, beaten by the entire Bora team sans Benedetti today.

Thanks. Must be adopting the Nibali approach to Tour build-up this year.

Time to be concerned about the tt setup

Not sure the new TT cervelo & helmet are any improvement over the old setup.

It's early March.

Ayuso is getting better nicely, but it's a long road as anything today is not enough in the Gran Tours. Like how you can see tt and gc time differences 2023 between for example Hindley and Vingo in the Tour or Ayuso and Vingo in the Vuelta. But it's promising because Ayuso is technicly good with tt-bike and in hilly twisty routes. Maybe one year more but happy to be wrong.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Wow, great performance by Ayuso, congrats. He beat even Filippo the tank engine! Teddy as TdF superdomestique confirmed? Skeletor loses time and he's forced to attack in the mountains.

 

[Unchained]

I woke up, turned on the TV Sheffield crashed on the dry road, popped up and was pushed away and had the camera not showed his strawberry on his shorts and a little road rash, would have never known he ate it. All a bad dream.
Now everyone saying Ayuso has a *** accent, I didn't get to hear it!! And he beat Ganna!!

Cian "Crying about Boras Time Trial Setup" Uijtdebroeks ate 1:10 today.

Uijtdebroeks' TT setup at Bora is just like Froome's saddle height at IPT.
