Itzulia Basque Country 2026, April 6-11

[Tim Cahill]

Seixas taking tighter lines, Lipowitz being conservative, might not end well

 

[Oldman]

They are down over 2 minutes.

They should be much more worried about securing their own podium spots than gaining time on Seixas.

They have enough lead, particularly Lipo on Seixas' wheel; to finish on the podium.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

I think you'll find that in this race there is precisely one rider who is better.

I'm not talking about strength. It's obvious Seixas is playing with them. I'm talking about how to approach races when they have a numerical advantage.

Roglic also could have secured 3rd place if Lipowitz hadn't distanced him..

So he should sacrifice his (and the team’s) chances so another guy can be slightly more sure of third? 😶

 

[Red Rick]

Seixas the great descender can't drop a guy descending on the hoods

 

[Tim Cahill]

They are still within stomp range if they mess about at the end

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lipowitz the idiot getting bullied by a 12 years old!!!

 

[saunaking]

Not sure of Lipo's sprint, Seixas looked pretty fast in ALgarve...

 

[Extinction]

Seixas the great descender can't drop a guy descending on the hoods

Wasn't a treacherous enough descent.

I am not sure Izagirre has a stomp in him today.

 

[canina82]

Lipo should not work with 2 km to the finish line.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic terrorizing G2 beautifully

He is bad.

 

[Bertram Wooster]

No, he should increase his chances by letting a team mate catch up, so he and his teammate are in a 2 to 1 position, meanwhile also securing the podiumspot for himself and his teammate.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Glad they're ascending in the finale, all that descending made my heart rate go significantly up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Seixas is fast uphill but they're both average on flatter roads I think

Roglic obviously didn’t have it. Letting Seixas go probably not a great team strategy.

 

[Red Rick]

Seixas doesn't realize he has way more leverage int his situation.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Lipowitz has no explosivity, but who knows about end speed. He got 3rd in the sprint earlier.

That being said: I think Seixas will win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Seixas just wants to reach the finish as fast as possible. His mother doesn't want him to be out after 6 o'clock.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hahahaha Lipowitz starting his sprint from only 700 metres out

 

[red_flanders]

Worthy effort Lipo.

 

[canina82]

Lipo ahahah. WTH was that?

 

[Red Rick]

Lipowitz *** moron

 

[saunaking]

YESSSSSS!!!!
good effort Lipo
