Vacek is a real climber, Evenepoel is much more allround

Thanks

So yeah, this Evenepoel guy... He just tried going solo for +/- 85k after attacking on Loveckovice, the first climb of the day. He didn't hold on as he was reeled in by the peloton where the Czech's were working. But fear not, he wasn't done yet. He has now made it to the lead group of about seven riders who are probably going to make it all the way to the finish, a group in which Vacek is absent.

Evenepoel wins the timetrial. Stage 2b later today.

 

[Flamin]

And takes over the lead in gc. Curious about the time gaps.

That's awfully close so, top 4 from the ITT was also in yesterday's front group of 8 that got a big advantage already.

 

[DNP-Old]

Vacek beats Evenepoel.

 

[Flamin]

Based on the Twitter feed, it looks like Evenepoel controlled the race by himself more than once. Impressive allround performance so far this week.

Wow, Antonio Tiberi was 3rd in s.t. as Vacek and Evenepoel. Born on June 24, 2001. Impressive.

Really impressive, both Vacek and Evenpoel are crazy strong.

Stampa Toscana is already calling him a star in the Tuscan cycling scene, putting him in the same breath as Kuba.

Evenepoel goes solo again.

Skjelmose, Quinn and Fancellu the only three who are somewhat in sight, 1:40. I think Vacek has already cracked.

 

[DNP-Old]

No one on the photo. Never touched a race bike until April 2017. Can't wait to see the gaps.

 

[Samamba]

He's ridiculous

 

[Flamin]

Hors catégorie.

His first race was in April 2017, but still, he'd just started riding a bike by then anyhow.

Small Question: Did James Mitri of Burgos change his nationality? He's listed as a Kiwi nowadays but I could've sworn he was listed as a Brit earlier.
