Itzulia Basque Country 2022 April 4-9

[Tim Cahill]

Rogla was caught out there he shouldn't've slowed down

 

[glassmoon]

what was brambila trying to do?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Haha Vingegaard. You're the best placed rider of those 3.

 

[JosefK]

Vingo police force.

 

[AlfaLum]

Number two of the previous Tour de France not taking a pull. Poor behavior.

 

[Red Rick]

See these attacks?

See the spectacular gaping hole where Sepp Kuss should be being?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo have strangled so many races this year, either by being extremely overpowered or by these hyper-negative tactics.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vingegaard and Movistar combining to produce their trademark bombastic racing style.

 

[Eclipse]

Watching Mas immediately panic when he ends up on front in a chase rather than having a wheel to follow is hilarious.

Jumbo police too strong.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Usually there are several numbers near the bottom of the playback site (options for playback). Sometimes the link numbered 2 or 3 works better than the first one.

Oh, thanks a lot.

 

[Didinho]

Remco attacking the descent!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fair play for the child attacking on the descent after almost dying

 

[Sciatic]

Ala: driving home gets pulled over by a gendarme who suspected a drunken driver. Ala is sober, but fails the test when the officer asks him to show he can walk a straight line.

 

[JosefK]

The bag is about to spit out Lafay.

 

[Faserr]

Some teams want to chase him down.

 

[Red Rick]

Watching Mas immediately panic when he ends up on front in a chase rather than having a wheel to follow is hilarious.

Jumbo police too strong.

They're really not. Only Vingegaard is there for Rog but they're just refusing to attack all the same.

Makes especially little sense if Jumbo are willing to just send Vingo up the read with a small group and also considering Evenepoel keeps getting dropped on the steep pinches and he's still 2nd in GC.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Watch Spanish filler team tactics be the thing to swing this away from Lafay.

 

[search]

In the bag for Lafay?

apparently there's a headwind in the end, but with just Mäder and Mauri pulling... probably

 

[Tim Cahill]

Didn't know Jonas' last name was actually Rasmussen

The Chicken would've done something cool today

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Crash Latour

 

[Samamba]

He's not going to lose a full minute in 10k to a reduced bunch. Or he needs to be completely empty but he doesn't look like he's fading.

 

[glassmoon]

Latour down?

 

[Samamba]

UAE should fully commit on chasing Lafay with Ulissi there but hey UAE without Pogacar is just some really strong individuals so

EDIT: looks like theyre coming to the front.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Vansevenant disrupting the chase by increasing the distance they're covering by 20%.

 

[Eclipse]

He's not going to lose a full minute in 10k to a reduced bunch. Or he needs to be completely empty but he doesn't look like he's fading.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see QS just hammer it for Ala if it's close enough tbh. They can burn Vansevenant and then use Remco and I think he's quite capable of eating a lot of this given relative freshness.

e: didn't even realise Ulissi is there so that's 2 teams with numbers who could fancy this
