2024 Tirreno - Adriatico, March 4-10

[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?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

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

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.

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.

 

[roundabout]

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.

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!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

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.

I'm guessing the helmet made him self-conscious again

btw Tiberi's helmet is almost as bonkers but seems to have worked better. I'm not sure how far they'll be allowed to push this before the helmet just becomes a fairing that covers the entire body.

 

[hayneplane]

Race is nicely set up now with Vingegaard having a bigger then bonus seconds time deficit to make up against a genuine upper tier climber in Ayuso and guys like Hindley doing very credible rides to be in close order.

Still lotsa evolution for giggles, how about tt-hoodie with hood pulled over the helmet, CFD legit!?

 

[Sciatic]

Well I guess now even Americans have a favorite Spaniard to cheer on.

He would be anyways, fun rider to root for.
