71st Tour de Romandie - April 25th-30th

[Zinoviev Letter]

Re: Re:

Break of the day:
Davide Martinelli (Quick-Step Floors), Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe), Toms Skujins (Cannondale-Drapac), Victor Campenaerts (LottoNL-Jumbo), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal), Hugo Houle (Ag2r – La Mondiale) and Nikita Stalnov (Astana)

Solid break. Some good roulers in there.

What's the weather like? I wouldn't fancy the peloton to control that lot if it's miserable again and they get a substantial gap.

It looks OK. No rain and dry roads.

Campenaerts, De Gendt; probably sufficient watts number to do something in last kms (If the break will survive until this point [

 

[Robert5091]

Break being keeped on a short leash.

I'm sure Orica wouldn't make the same mistake they did yesterday. Albasini didn't even bothered to sprint for 3rd.

A great race this year!

Re:

Looks like that extra gel made the difference. Shame to see cheats prosper like that.

Yup that magic gel

Viviani wants to win today because of the Giro exclusion.

 

[WheelofGear]

Orica needs to put the hammer down on this climb if they want to get rid off Viviani.

 

[klintE]

S.Clarke and probably Courteille (FDJ) attack.Small gap
No sucess

 

[WheelofGear]

Viviani is struggling. But Baharin and Orica aren't trying to drop him.

 

[WheelofGear]

Sky controlling the peloton.. trying to slow down the pace for Viviani.

 

[WheelofGear]

Albasini on a wrong bike. Puncture?

 

[WheelofGear]

Jungles attacking downhill.

 

[Laplaz]

Jungels is crazy

 

[WheelofGear]

Plenty of attacks on the flat. Crosswind?

 

[ferryman]

Allez Alex

 

[WheelofGear]

Strong ride from Dowsett. A Tony Martin-like ride.

 

[GraftPunk]

Clarke and Reichenbach in the attack? I hope there is an emergency pair of slacks in the Eurosport booth.

Dowsy in some amazing form lately, he is finally showing something now!

What would Carlton have done if both escaped ...who would he have gone with

great unanswerables of our time

 

[Velolover2]

I wish more time trialists would attack on the flat.

Eventually team up. A gentleman's agreement.

 

[Velolover2]

No cooperation in the peloton. I think Dowsett will take this.

I'm pretty sure it would look something like:
