2025 Tour of the Alps (April 21-25)

[QueenStagiaire]

Wow for a projected classics guy thats some impressive climbing from Herzog.

He‘s kind of a projected Amstel Gold specialist in his current form, not the best place to be in

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good defensive work by Arensman, but not chance against Storer today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Was that young Andrew August there finishing with Bardet, I don't remember where I heard it but word on the street is that he's like Evenepoel but with a bigger engine. Good finish today, would've been up there at the front but must've taken his winter clothing off at the wrong time.

Storer also looks tired, maybe he‘s a vampire like Pogačar

I would think that the goal should be to be an all around spring classic campaign guy from opening weekend through E3, G-W and Flanders + BP, Amstel, maybe even Liege. Of course not every single race every year but I feel he has the range for it talent wise. For the rest of the season I think he could be an excellent stage hunter in GTs. Kämna with the ability to be good in one day races minus the GC stuff

If Storer keeps this form for 3 weeks I think Storer can top 5 the Giro, but i don't recall him ever going for GC in a grand tour, so his endurance is a bit of a question mark.

 

[pastronef]

what ride by Storer! kudos to him and Tudor. they are deserving their wild cards
and GEE keeps his 3rd overall

He Zubeldia'd to 10th in the Giro last year.

 

[Alien Performance]

He has been super hot and cold since that Vuelta where he won the two stages, I expect him to finish outside the top 10 in the Giro

What are you talking about? Neither of them rides - or has ever ridden - for Cofidis.

Well, that explain why i did not rember it

Good to see the old guy still got it.

You just made me notice that Seixas is younger than me

All those guys - except Fuglsang - are younger than me...

It's time for you to change your name anyway. You can't be a stagiaire for 3 seasons

 

[ingsve]

What went on in this race? I haven't really paid attention or watched the stages, I just saw the results from the various stages and it seems like there were some massive swings in the GC.

Were the leading teams not strong enough to defend the leaders jersey or what? Seems like unusually big swings of minutes back and forth in the GC fight.

Need to change the forum software for that.

Only one older than me is Jakob...

The AG2R car told Sexais to take the win but he overruled them

It's so much more cool to be 40 and among the best than to be 39. It screams "veteran".

Nice boy. Vingegaard would have won the stage and dedicated it to Prodhomme instead.

 

[Radeon]

He's 14 years younger than me!

That's brilliant, from the lad. He's got a bright future. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes in his races thru this season.

If that's actually true Decathlon DS is a full on moron.
Class from Seixas. Smarter then his own DS. You always gift this one to your ideal domestique with 0 pro wins. Always.
