Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

"If"? He obviously was. That you don't like him doesn't mean he did anything wrong. My point is that examining his every move with a microscope misses the point that he simply didn't have it.

can you address the substantive question or can you only moan that people on a message board discuss the topic of it ?

when weak and fatigued , is it good racing to chase in the manner he did ?

Vamos baptiste, already on his 100th race day of the season in April.

The more you race the fewer boring training sessions you have to do.

There's a strong break of van Wilder, Fortunato, G. Martin, Braz Afonso, Arrieta, Fernandez, Tesfazion, Dinham, Bou, Shaw, van der Lee, Laurance, THJ and Thompson up the road now, likely never to be seen again.

Meanwhile, del Toro just crashed. edit: and abandoned

I was just going to call out Del Toro for being a loser but crashing is a valid reason.

I was thinking that it looked like such an obvious break stage that too many would be trying to get in, making it form very late in the stage and being easy to control for Ineos, but it looks like Laurance himself is in there so no need.

 

[Netserk]

tulett also involved in the same crash

 

[Tim Cahill]

Maxtin giving it the 'just try to carry on for a few kms' but he looks bad, had to pick up his leg over the frame.

Some sort of hip issue for Del Toro. You know, if they film all this anyway, they could also broadcast it internationally

 

[armchairclimber]

Watching on EITB

Del Toro tried to return on his bike or not?

Del Toro tried to return on his bike or not?

He tried but it didn‘t look that good.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

The accident involved several Visma, Del Toro, Baudin and another EF.

aranburu ftw !

 

[Rou]

With Cofidis pulling I'll be curious to see Seixas' punch.

 

[canina82]

He tried but it didn‘t look that good.

But somehow I think it's a good thing he tried to return to his bike. A serious injury in his leg would mean a Del Toro layed down on the road.

Del Toro tried to return on his bike or not?

Yes. He had trouble standing on his right foot though

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Back-to-back bike changes for Seixas, maybe Red Bull is manipulating his bikes.

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

A 60km battle for the break, but a single Cofidis rider is keeping them in check

He simply switched back to his main bike

If Decathlon plays it conservative, keeps Seixas' matches dry and do not wear him down with too many racing days - I can see him challenging and even beating Pog in Lombardia.

Because Pog has so many racing days that he gets tired?

Pog's endurance is overrated but people are not allowed to talk about it because he does Monuments.

No, but Seixas
