Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

[AnotherArmChair]

I kinda like Marc Soler

 

[Volderke]

Remco tooks 3 second more today. Those 4 seconds are very impportant. It means if Vingegaard go you have a margin to control the race, othe way you must be always at his wheel.

love the sarcasm!

 

[Karl Merckx]

WTF is Remco doing

He had the whole climb to pick up the pace and is trying to attack the descent?

He's just making sure he's at the front in the descent... It's a classic move. Many many riders have done so in the past.

 

[Netserk]

Evenepoel 3"
Del Toro 2"
Vingegaard 1"

 

[Peyroteo94]

Ayuso out

 

[Netserk]

Ayuso badly hurt?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ayuso looks hurt, big crash within 3k

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know the Itzulia route is bad when it gets sprints with worse crashes than Scheldeprijs on the same day.

 

[RedheadDane]

Someone... get a doctor to Ayuso!

 

[Salvarani]

Ayuso

 

[Gigs_98]

The real Scheldeprijs

 

[RedheadDane]

Hermans?

 

[Elos Anjos]

Ayuso

 

[Salvarani]

Hermans!

Aranburu had to go too early.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Oldani?

The one riding for Cofidis? No.

 

[Samamba]

After Lapeira yesterday now we have Hermans as WT bunch sprint winners

 

[red_flanders]

Hermans has been showing well in this race so far!

 

[Peyroteo94]

No broken bones at least.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ayuso at least back on the bike pretty early...

 

[Salvarani]

Ayuso on the bike.

Looks ok.

Will get same time of course but question is how he will go this week now.

 

[JosefK]

Carnage stage.

 

[RedheadDane]

Good to say Ayuso on his bike.
I do not like it when - however briefly - riders are shown to be immobile.

 

[Netserk]

Shite route.

 

[Elos Anjos]

There's some serious mojo going on...

 

[red_flanders]

Landscape here looks a lot like San Luis Obispo in the spring.
