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

[LaFlorecita]

you clearly dont know Valv :lol: the more Alien the better

He complains to the mods when others call Valverde a freak but calling Richie an alien is fine, apparently.

Re:

What a ride by Porte... but Felline, is there anything he can't do?

Felline really is a true allrounder.

 

[klintE]

Felline very well

Win big races?

***. Yates did enough to hold on for 2nd.

Re: Re:

Alien performances, love it!

Just like Valverde which you have no problem with .....LOLOLOL

I just said I loved watching it.

Alien pefromances ? and Laugh out loud ? C'mon your meaning is clear

you clearly dont know Valv :lol: the more Alien the better

Indeed. Watching good performances is always great (at least when it doesn't completely kills the race).

 

[Laplaz]

Roglic will be difficult to beat in the WC ITT.

 

[hfer07]

Lil' Richie Port smashed it!!

quite frankly - i'm happy for him

Simon did well

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic is the best investment TLJ have ever made. His climbing is a little disappointing, but his TT'ing is incredible.

Re:

If he can keep up this form, it will be between him. Dumoulin & Dennis.

 

[HelloDolly]

Porte, Yates, Rojlic and Felline ...best 4 in the race by alot so result is very fair

 

[Valv.Piti]

Roglic did this in the Basque country as well, more or less completely the same. Down a decent amount, then descended very well (I assume) and turned the turbo on down on the flat section.

Best time trialist on a decently hilly course in the world?

Contador is declining so i agree!!

 

[HelloDolly]

Poor performances (well at least better expected ) by Zakarin, Spilak, Froome, Amador (not TT) ,Uran, Meintjes

Promising from Betencur ....at least he gave it a good go

It will come. It will come.

Mind you this shouldn't have been a surprise. Felline is very good in time trials.

He probably wont win many races this year, but this will make him better, riding all these races on that level. Every year he will turn up a bit better. Amazing versatility!

Betancur beating Uran in a time trial--who would have thought?

 

[WheelofGear]

Roglic, the only rider who can challenge Dumoulin.

 

[Simurgh]

How good is Emanuel Buchmann? Remember him from some breakaways in the Tour last year (I think). 10th GC-wise is not bad for him, or what's the deal with him?

 

[klintE]

Re:

And Felline beating Vroome...

 

[WheelofGear]

Wonder how Valverde would have done on a time trial like that if he could carry on his shape in Liege. He has done two similar time trials (+ a TTT) with a great result.

 

[Velolover2]

Felline can do anything except the high mountains. Impressive.

Re:

But his TT results comes as no surprise. In Andalucia, he was 5th competing against some motivated top GC riders.

It's not a surprise, but he keeps delivering.

On a hilly course it's usually Dumoulins specialty. Look at the big difference in the TDF last year.
Would be interesting to see them go toe to toe.

Roglic better on the flat/downhill parts, Dumoulin on the hills itself and corners.
