4th Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge(1.1) - June 14th

[DJ Sprtsch]

Don't really know why Israel rode the first ascent to the top so hard they lost two of their riders?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Probably Woods is feeling good?

 

[Samamba]

They did the same thing in MercanTour tbh and won. Woods must be on a good day.

 

[Samamba]

Sosa...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Sosa dropping directly in the bottom of Ventoux. What a meme he is.

 

[Fantastico]

I guess it's gonna be on of those days where Ivan Ramiro Sosa shows that he's actually a world class climber...

He's dropped right at the foot of Ventoux. I don't see Jorgenson either. So it's only Valverde and Verona for Movistar.

he was 7 minutes behind on the first ascent already

Looks like it was a good choice from Movistar to put Valverde and Verona in cause euhm

How can you prove to be something you are not? This is the existential puzzle Sosa tries to solve throughout his career.

 

[Samamba]

Whats up with these adds on l'Equipe

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is EF chasing their own rider?

 

[Samamba]

So we basically missed everything.

EF 1-2 incoming?

Where did Woods go?

 

[Pinot's goat]

Did Woods fall off the mountain?

 

[Samamba]

This is Mercan all over again but EF instead of Israel lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Probably the worst-timed ad of the season. Guerreiro leading up a climb like this is insane.

So you're saying that Remco got outclimbed by a really mediocre climber on Lagunas de Neila when he won Burgos in 2020?
Jokes aside, Sosa is inconsistent as hell, but he usually has 2-3 really impressive climbing performances per season.

 

[Samamba]

Probably the worst-timed ad of the season. Guerreiro leading up a climb like this is insane.

I mean he was already really strong in the Dauphiné, obv in topform. Wouldn't surprise me if he's completely over his top in the Tour.

EF needed this big time tho. Israel on the other hand, jesus what did Woods do.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Woods could have been helping Fuglsang to win Suisse, instead he is here flailing around in a 1.1 race

 

[Devil's Elbow]

True, but he isn't a pure climber and he's just pulling further and further away.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Valverde channeling his inner Almeida.

 

[Samamba]

True, but he isn't a pure climber and he's just pulling further and further away.

Its a 1.1 race. Storer was absolutely nowhere in the Dauphiné (almost all season tbh). Only one who can follow him is probably Chavez.

Isn't Guerreiro also really good in the heat?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Any info on the wind? Chalet Reynard now.

Too many descents for him in Switzerland...

Storer is pretty erratic, not the easiest rider to judge the overall level on (although that's true for quite a few people in this race). In any case, Guerreiro could win by over a minute at the rate this is going which is pretty crazy for a rider like him even in a 1.1 race field.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Even L'Équipe wants you to watch Tour de Suisse instead.
