Amgen Tour of California 2019, May 12-18

[Aristarchus]

Asgreen rode himself totally into the red, I guess.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pogacar ftw

 

[Rollthedice]

Pogacar!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Asgreen doesn't look blown..... looks more like he is just riding his tempo, and ignoring the attacks.

Re:

Asgreen destroys TJ

And himself in the process.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

I'm disappointed by LRP's form. Getting dropped by these 2nd grade climbers

 

[Rollthedice]

Where's Pappy Horner to teach these kids a lesson?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Higuita can take the boniseconds and win... he's gone i think.

EDIT: Pogacar coming closer.

 

[RedheadDane]

If Higuita wins, is this gonna be the earliest WT win for a debutant?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Portes gear seem to work again, he's coming back.

unless Pogacar takes it

 

[Rollthedice]

Pogacar is coming back.

In which case Higuita doesn't win.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Higuita... that wasn't too bright.

 

[Aristarchus]

Pogacar, wow. Higuita blew the turn.

 

[sir fly]

What a mistake from the goalkeeper.
Bakerman scores!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Did Asgreen just get 5th? :O

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Wow. Asgreen lost only 20s

That's an astute assessment. But then Pogacar would be the youngest, since he's younger.

 

[RedheadDane]

Seriously, I've been shaking basically since TJ got dropped.
Mix of over excitement, and being really tired. (But not sleepy).

If Sérgio grew Rene's haircut, he would become an instant superfavourite.

 

[johnymax]

Cmon Tadej! Yes you champ! Great battle. Higuita very very impressive also. Good job young future stars.

 

[Lequack]

Re:

Pogacar to be in yellow after this.

You were not wrong.

Yes, but Pogacar has been a WT rider for over five months, Higuita just for 17 days.

 

[Koronin]

Now that was a great race at the end of the stage between Higuita and Pogacar. Very much enjoyed that. Congrats to both of them on a very raced climb.
