49th Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta (2.Pro) // February 15th - 19th 2023

[Samamba]

Logic in shambles.

Van Wilder in top shape tho, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the whole thing.

 

[noob]

I was sure Cort was way too far back.

He's so sneaky

 

[Vesica]

hahahahaha I like this

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Herregodts flying under the radar but very much a GC threat at this rate.

I mean what is a threat? He has no chance at winning this.

He's doing great tho and the TT is going to be the most important stage so a good GC is possible yes.

 

[Didinho]

Van Wilder looked strong, he opened the gap for Cort. Such a pity but Magnus timed really good. Expected more from Pidcock here.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ineos has to be the most tactically incompetent team in cycling. What are they doing ? Maybe there are behind the scene financial fair play rules that meant they had to do every other teams work for a stage? Because they pull for no reason at all, just to rider for a sprint with their slow riders.

Honestly van Wilder moment wasn't the most embarrassing thing in that stage, it was ineos.

 

[JosefK]

The moustached assassin strikes again. Also, another entry for the crowded premature celebration category.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Foss 3s
Almeida 4s
Ganna 7s
Küng 12s
Cavagna 13s

Considering how Intermarché have started the season, I would not be surprised at all if he does easily the best TT of his career in Sunday. Wouldn't say he has zero chance.

 

[Carols]

Sneak thief Cort! Good Job

 

[RedheadDane]

He's so sneaky

It's those stealth EF jerseys.

Pidcock and Martinez both have good sprints normally.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Ineos train failed nicely.

Ganna only lost 7 seconds because nobody attacked. Even though Pidcock had no kick today, not a bad day for them.

When has pidcok ever won a sprint of more than 3 guys? Overrated rider should be a gregario here

He will lose some time on Malhao and there are also better TTers. He is in form and I wouldn't be surprised if he does his all time best, but winning is something else.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Jury to relegate Cort, for having an ugly moustache. Any moment now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

On the subject of horrendous tactics: Onley launching at 500 metres to go and proceeding to lose contact with the main group in the sprint maybe also wasn't the greatest move.

Be a good loser!

I mean, for my CQ team, Van Wilder winning would have been far better, but I'm biased.

Fun fact: the only rider Pidcock has ever beaten in a sprint in a professional race is Wout van Aert.

Mainly because he somehow still has only two pro wins.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Be a good loser!

I'm making jokes. That's the most you're getting out of me for now. It'll be a cold day in hell before i congratulate that ugly moustached MF'er.

if you don't try you won't know.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

At least Nick Schultz didn't celebrate at the line.

I thought Madouas would have been able to get past Van Wilder, but the Belgian did a pretty good job. He might win the race now, but Ganna is a danger man.
Higuita looked finished at one point, but he managed to hold on.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Maybe Vain Wilder was just protesting the finish like remco did last year
