75th Tour de Romandie (2.UWT) // 27th of April - 2nd of May 2021

[RedheadDane]

Remi going.

 

[BlueRoads]

This is so not surprising.

 

[johnymax]

I'm still surprised nobody attacked from the peloton on those two climbs.

Thank you Cavagna.

 

[johnymax]

That was quick. Tratnik brought Cavagna back in less than a minute.

Long flat before the finish with strong head wind. No chance.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was quick. Tratnik brought Cavagna back in less than a minute.

You kinda need to bring him back quick. Or you might never see him again.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Time for Froome to attack and gain back some time

 

[RedheadDane]

He's going again. This time with others.
One more QS, one FDJ, one BE.

 

[johnymax]

Long flat before the finish with strong head wind. No chance.

I know, but still expected a couple of "stupid" attacks to get TV time from 2nd tier riders. If you are not a pure climber, GC rider, sprinter or time trialist, you'll probably not get a better chance to attack, so maybe one should at least try.

 

[Lequack]

Good tactics as always from DQ. You can always count on them to actually race a race.

 

[RedheadDane]

The others are Cattaneo, Reichenbach, and Howson.

 

[Baldinger]

Sad riding from Howson and Reichenbach. Come on, guys,

Did you expect anything else with Stewart and Smith behind?

 

[RedheadDane]

Just imagine if the wind had been at a slightly different angle.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just imagine if the wind had been at a slightly different angle.

I'm not sure I can. Numbers and angles aren't really your strong points

 

[RedheadDane]

Sagan.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Masterclass by Sagan. The best rider to position himself ever I guess.

 

[Escarabajo]

Sagan must be so happy!

BTW, that was a slow sprint. Looks like if they were going uphill!!!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Easy win, but Bevin is probably not too amused.

Headwind.

 

[tobydawq]

I don't know what is the point of putting these climbs so far away from the finish?

Maybe it would be expensive to move the climbs closer to the city where the finish is...

 

[JosefK]

Sagan -- lighter and leaner without the beard. Chapeau.

 

[RedheadDane]

Easy win, but Bevin is probably not too amused.

Especially when he hears the feed from ES UK, and they keep calling him Mads Würtz!
And even keeps claiming it was him after the official top-10 got on the screen... like, dude; it would take you five seconds to go check the startlists and see that it is in fact Bevin, who wears number 122.

 

[Carols]

Well at least I finished my taxes while this was on.
Chapeau Sagan!

 

[SafeBet]

Covi in 5th place. Finally showing some signs of life after his injury.
