Itzulia Basque Country 2023 (April 3-8)

[Netserk]

Pernsteiner is solid, but I expected more from Bahrain here. Aupa Landa!

 

[Red Rick]

Bahrain going so hard even Oomen looks easy

 

[HelloDolly]

One of my worst issues about Kirby is his translation of interviews
The interviewee talkes for 2 minutes and Kirby translates one work !!!!!
Reminds me of Father Ted's translation of the Colombian priests ...how does he get away with it ?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bilbao is sorely missed today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bahrain just don't have the team, they got unlucky with Bilbao's withdrawal

 

[Samamba]

Skjelmose dropped?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is one slow climb by the GC riders so far.

 

[Netserk]

Valter should soon be back with Vingegaard, so no harm in Oomen being dropped.

 

[RedheadDane]

Skjelmose dropped?

According to PCS, he's back in the peloton.

 

[Aimar16]

Was it Yates who was waiting for Sobrero?

Dunbar

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The hardest climb of the race, done at Pernsteiner's pace in its entirety so that Jumbo still have two men up the road. Everyone deserves to lose to Vingegaard.

 

[HelloDolly]

Marc Hirshi ?????????

What ever happened to him ?

 

[Aimar16]

Dunbar

That makes more sense.

 

[Netserk]

I expect Kruijswijk not to pull, Chaves is still too dangerous.

 

[Andre]

So....Landa is completely isolated! But he's looking strong

 

[RedheadDane]

According to PCS, he's back in the peloton.

Oh, wait... it said "at the back of"...

 

[Escarabajo]

Chaves and SK riding like it is 2016 all over again!

 

[Samamba]

Romain Gregoire still in the peloton

 

[Andre]

...ah no...sorry...just saw another team mate

 

[Escarabajo]

I would send Dani Martinez to Monaco instead of de TdF. This is not normal!

 

[Netserk]

The hardest climb of the race, done at Pernsteiner's pace in its entirety so that Jumbo still have two men up the road. Everyone deserves to lose to Vingegaard.

I think that was always the default for this stage, even if it is worsened by Bahrain’s failure in controlling the break.

Break rode away uphill, so they deserved to lose like this anyway

 

[Andre]

oh boy..Attila

 

[HelloDolly]

Pernsteiner has been great ... he is not the strongest climber but he is giving it everything
