How quick is Alvarez? Because Morgado is quite fast

He is quick. Been mixing it in actual sprints. I think he can beat Morgado. And I think Alvarez has looked stronger so far today as well. Looks much easier on the bike.

 

[SafeBet]

Morgado is hard to beat at the end of a tough race but Hector is indeed the type of rider who could do it.

Today is Morgado's birthday, he has some extra watts in the tank.

 

[Netserk]

politt
vendrame
turgis

for sixth

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is a notable step-up from Alvarez, not enough data points at a proper level to judge just how fast he is but I guess we are about to find out. He has scope to mess around a bit too as Morgado probably thinking who the *** is this guy.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Don't lead him out you idiot!!!

 

[Netserk]

Don't lead him out you idiot!!!

was already a done deal with the kind of pulls alvarez took

 

[Didinho]

Antonio with a good start of the year. Looks like he’s over all his injuries. Nice to meet you, Alvarez.

Antonio with a good start of the year. Looks like he’s over all his injuries. Nice to meet you, Alvarez.

In previous years he also started well, his problem has been the rest of the season.

 

[Wvv]

Really happy seeing Herregodts get a top ten. Hopefully my fellow townsman has a healthy season now, and maybe he can surf on the UAE flow towards more and better results.

Impressed by the young Alvarez too.

 

[James M]

Very impressive by Alvarez, nice to meet you indeed. I like what Im seeing from Lidl. Last year Søderqvist, and now Alvarez seem impressive, both takings leaps. This was kinda hard and attritional.

They seem to be building a solid foundation. I see you Lidl.

 

[Red Rick]

Don't lead him out you idiot!!!

Gotta gift one to the underpog team that really needs it.

And by that I mean just *** delete cycling.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not a bad birthday gift for Morgadomorgado (I am not sure how I ended up typing his name twice).

 

[elguapo]

At 19, Hector looks promising. We will see if he could follow this up with another good showing in the more mountainous Serra Tramuntana.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alvarez clapping him over the line like he's in awe of him.

 

[ice&fire]

So we've seen amateurs sucking wheels and getting on the nerves of pros in their training rides, and young pros leading their older and better opponents to the win in real races. The world is upside down.

 

[ingsve]

Again Holter with some early season good form. He was 4th last year in Alula Tour as well. Hope he can get more good results the rest of the year.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Looks like just like last year Henri Vandenabeele started the year on decent form, let's see if he can continue like that

 

[Samamba]

Seems like wind could be changing directions during the afternoon tomorrow, also still some chance that it rains. We could see weird things in the TTT

 

[Berniece]

Teams have finally been announced. RBH is extremely stacked, there are at least 5 riders that are also part of the TDF team and know how to ride a TT

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel said today he's doing a couple of Mallorca races to steal UCI points off Unibet. Good lad.

TTT, rain, Remco...
Sometimes I really regret having a job.

 

[hayneplane]

Alvarez clapping him over the line like he's in awe of him.

I though it was good sportsmanship especially considering Morgado got the win on his birthday.

TTT, rain, Remco...

Turn the lights off and you have a match
