Euskal Herriko Itzulia 2018 - April 2-7

[Carols]

Landini Goes!

 

[hammerthaim]

Was that Bananito last off the Movi train before Landani??

 

[Rollthedice]

The ski jumper has no problemo.

 

[Brullnux]

Why was Quintana so far back? He doesn't look bad at all.

 

[Gigs_98]

Mas fought back to the 2nd group. Not bad

 

[fauniera]

Alaphilippe failing again?

 

[Gigs_98]

Alaphilippe failing again?

I wouldn't call it failing. He just isn't a gc rider.

 

[fauniera]

Yeah, but this really isn't a long climb.

 

[Rollthedice]

Alaphilippe failing again?

I wouldn't call it failing. He just isn't a gc rider.

Ha hasn't reached yet the Jalabert stage of his career.

 

[hammerthaim]

Yeah, but this really isn't a long climb.

Think I just saw him getting gapped. Don't expect much from here...

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah, but this really isn't a long climb.

There also aren't many riders who made the first group. It's not like he blew up completely but Alaphilippe is at his best on really short climbs, still good on climbs like this, and only mediocre on really long climbs. Today just being good, but not great, simply isn't enough

 

[Arredondo]

That's why Itzulia is the best stage race of the year!

Carnage!

 

[Gigs_98]

Did De La Cruz seriously just get dropped on that descent?

 

[Carols]

Motos helping Landa......

 

[woodburn]

Alaphillipe in big trouble.

 

[Rollthedice]

Alaphilippe's group is now formed of Alaphilippe.

I love it, total carnage

quotes own post when correct

 

[LaFlorecita]

Bleh Quickstep are making Enric wait for Alaphilippe
He's going to lose his youth jersey & chance at a top-10 this way.

 

[Gigs_98]

Is it just me or does Landa look like he is rather riding for a podium than for a win?

 

[Brullnux]

He's 2' down and less strong than roglic. It's understandable.

 

[can3478]

someone tweeted "Alaphilippe was ordered to not dig in his reserves if he's dropped." So why makes Mas waited for him?

Makes no sense

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

A Wolfpack is a family, it moves together and lives together; no one gets left behind, because a Wolfpack's strength is unity.

He realises Primoz is too good.

That guy is a beast. Don't be surprised if he can podium a GT. The guy doesn't know his limits yet.
