Itzulia Basque Country 2022 April 4-9

[Devil's Elbow]

Big crash in the peloton. Starting to become a bit of a theme today.

 

[Samamba]

Also a huge crash...

 

[SafeBet]

Any info on who was involved?

 

[Red Rick]

I don't know but Sepp Kuss isn't as big a deterrent to attacks as he thinks he is.

He reads too much @Libertine Seguros propaganda

 

[No Risk No Glory]

Wait, they just let Bilbao go? This is getting interesting!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Any info on who was involved?

Goossens, together with riders from Lotto, Total and Bahrain. No more info so far.

 

[Samamba]

This is an incredibly weird situation...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not sure if having Sepp Kuss join a Bilbao attack is the best strategy for Jumbo. Not complaining in the slightest though.

Wait until you realise all of the Spanish Pro Conti teams missed the break.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

1:25 already, peloton will likely be forced to go full gas over the series of four climbs with no flat in between and we still have the actual finale after that.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Sepp Kuss overrated and has no brains

 

[Eclipse]

OK sounds like we have something exciting brewing after all this is promising

A lot of the Spanish fodder will have been either dropped by now or caught behind the crash, I think.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Pello Bilbao underrated and incredible rider

 

[Escarabajo]

I just saw the GC from yesterday and went what?
I actually think they should call back Sepp Kuss. LOL.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Martinez was apparently third on the GPM behind Bilbao and Kuss and evidently didn't decide to push on. Interesting.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pello Bilbao underrated and incredible rider

The Spanish Masnada.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Bilbao should tell kuss to pull like a machine and he will be gifted the stage win.

Aupa!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The Spanish Masnada.

A move reminiscent of Fausto. Remco could do with Fausto in this race

Not the other way round? You're starting to slack...

 

[Lequack]

If Kuss really starts working at the front then he is a knucklehead.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Spanish Masnada.

Even though he basically looks like a cramp, that's still a very insulting way to speak of Bilbao.

 

[AlfaLum]

Kuss asked Jumbo if he was allowed to attack because the peloton is coming through his hometown Durango today...

 

[jonan92]

Pello Bilbao stops, waiting for the peloton, so it will calm again

 

[Rackham]

Pello Bilbao stops, waiting for the peloton, so it will calm again

The breakaway guys were probably being mean to him.
