Milano - Sanremo: March 20, 2021

[RedheadDane]

Calling a Danish rider 'Norwegian'? Now, that is unforgivable, Matt Stephens!

His father wanted him to be named Tadej, but his mother prefered Wilco, so they decided to make a compromise.

actually it's much simpler than that. There's a lot more Taco's in the netherlands. It's a normal boys name. Uncommon, but not weird or strange.

 

[tobydawq]

It was a classic Wildej/won't they.

Much better than yesterday

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Good to see it's live now on GCN, may come back to it in about 6 hours.

Maybe Carlton Kirby will join you!

Not in Flanders though.
Although I'm looking forward to meet a Tortilla Peeters or Paella Janssens.

What are you doing with your reasonable, logical explanation?

 

[happytramp]

On the subject of names.... Has anyone been able to figure out what 'Fuglsang' means?... Don't think it's ever been mentioned.

That's a joke, right?

Or a Pita Serry.

This is like watching paint dry
If one race doesn't need full coverage its MSR.

Wasn't that poor nearby urban areas.

I'm in a straight jacket on my sitting room floor. Eurosport is on. I don't want to miss anything.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm sort of in between; Eurosport is on, but in the background, and I'm mostly just listening.

Are you the Topcat who was sent to a mental institution?

There's only room for one cat at the top.

 

[Winnen]

How many seconds would Ala or vdPoel need on top of Poggio in order to remain ahead of a Wout van Aert in full pursuit? It is 5,5 km to go of which 2,2 are flat. I think 15 - 20 seconds. The fact that last year Ala could not remain in front during the descend while he is considered (at least by me) as one of the best descenders in the peloton says something about Wout's possibilities imho.

I think Wout will win today in a sprint. But my favorite scenario is one of the big three arriving solo.

Fourth floor... locked unit, so.

Of course. I just didn't want to assume that it was you. Unlike the Carlton Kiby who was jailed.

occasionally checking this thread just in case there’s been a freak occurrence of something mildly interesting but nothing short of echelons would make me start actually watching this for hours yet

Elaborate, please.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Elaborate, please.

No, we got Carlton to do that.

But apparently to men with the surnames Carlton and Kirby attempted to rob an armoured van in Kent back in 2016, before they made their getway with 12,000 Pounds in a VW Polo.

Ala messed up the descent last year, seemed to have a problem with his chain. Normally he's a great descender and would have been expected to stay in front.

He just did it again! (before correcting himself in a weird way).

How the hell you're typing with the straight jacket on?!

I was just about to get angry. Like, just because there are more Danish WorldTour riders than Norwegians, Swede, and Finn combined doesn't mean those commentators have to go and give Norway our riders!
