Euskal Herriko Itzulia 2018 - April 2-7

[Gigs_98]

I wonder if the lotto NL guys who returned to the peloton had enough time to even say hello to Roglic before getting dropped again

 

[LaFlorecita]

This scenery would be amazing in better weather conditions

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Alaphilippe has a way of going down spectacularly after a bad day, training for the Ardennes or not. One off-day almost always means another one following.

What is quickstep doing? Call back Mas from the break to save Alaphilippe's top 20 place!

That can't be right?

Balke very excited he will move up from fifth to fourth. Ordered his lieutenants to drive the pace to see off Alaphilippe.

So...all hell to break lose on Izua?

Wrong Movistar with De La Cruz. Should always have been Quintana

 

[Gigs_98]

This is so Movistar. Tore the race apart at the beginning of the stage. Don't do s*it when you could actually attack. Doesn't look as if they will really ride for the win.

Edit: What is more embarassing? Deleting this or not deleting this?

 

[Rollthedice]

If Roglic wants, he can drop all.

[Akuryo]

Nice to see Mas back in the front group.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Movistar def trying

Looks like Verona has the KOM jersey sewn up

Why does Roglic even care about Nairo?

 

[Jungle Cycle]

if Movi cannot isolate Rogla how they expect to isolate Sky in july?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

If Nairo bridges to his teammates up front Roglic could be in trouble. But yes, for the final climb he should only mark Landa and Izagirre.

 

[Gigs_98]

That new Alpecin tv ad takes the cringe of the alpecin ads to a whole new level

 

[Escarabajo]

Why Roglic was following Nairo?

He is falling is the trap. However he is so strong.

Roglic is isolated, but they can't get rid of him

I don't know, the one with all the shouting was more cringey imo

Well, Quintana kind of did get rid of him. The problem is that they let him get a several minute buffer before this stage and left themselves needing him to crack big time, which is tough to force on a stage with just short climbs.

 

[Red Rick]

The problem that Movistar have right now is that this is Pais Vasco and especially Quintana isn't in top form.

That won't be a problem in the Tour de France.
