52nd Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta (18-22 February)

[Berniece]

Due to different circumstances, but it´s possible that, just like in UAE Tour, we didn´t see the winner's time trial either.

At least at UAE Tour we had live images from the start

 

[Berniece]

Kung 9s slower at T1, should be done deal for Ganna

 

[Samamba]

That's a no for Kung

 

[hayneplane]

Impressive from Soderqvist. Should be worth a watch in some of the slightly less hilly cobbled classics.

 

[Cycling111]

Soderqvist finished alongside another Lidl rider. He managed to gain a few seconds.

 

[Samamba]

Pretty bad from Kung

But also says something about Soderqvist.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I went on a family holiday to Quarteira last year, but ended up arriving two days late after our intended flight was cancelled, so my deepest sympathy to Tomás Contte or whoever ends up finishing last today.

 

[Pozzovivo]

Ganna and Kung have competed 30 times in ITT before today. 18-12 advantage Ganna. Closer than I expected.

 

[Samamba]

Vendrame can TT?

 

[Cycling111]

It seems Kamna has good legs this year.

 

[Netserk]

lets go brandon mcnuggets

 

[Samamba]

Lol Kung feels like he did a good TT, means Ganna's TT was just really good and Soderqvist is absolute world class already

 

[Samamba]

Alvarez really good time at T1. The Trek youngster in the TT...

 

[Cycling111]

Is Hector Alvarez also good at time trials? Or it seem that ITT equipment from Lidl is very good.

 

[Samamba]

McNulty has some bad Portugese karma for some reason

 

[RedheadDane]

McNulty not having a good race.

 

[Samamba]

Is Hector Alvarez also good at time trials? Or it seem that ITT equipment from Lidl is very good.

Alvarez has a pretty good TT imo, but Treks TT setup is a bit underrated yeah

 

[Netserk]

puncture for nuggets

* for the winner

 

[Cycling111]

McNulty not having a good race.

Yesterday I had the feeling he'd be up there and I wanted to see how he performed today.

We'll have to wait until the next mountain stage to find out.

 

[Samamba]

Widar must've crashed. +7min at T1, that's OTL incoming

 

[Cycling111]

Alvarez was very good, but I don't think Ganna's ITT was that stellar. McNulty, without the breakdown, I think he could have been close. Remco could have gained a lot of time today.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Widar must've crashed. +7min at T1, that's OTL incoming

PCS just has him at +2 now.

 

[Samamba]

PCS just has him at +2 now.

Yeah they fixed it. So just really bad, no surprise there

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Yeah, Lipowitz is in meh form at the moment

 

[Cycling111]

Morgado was ahead of Alvarez in the first sector and finished 20 seconds behind him. Then Alvarez really has flown in the end.
