O Gran Camiño 2024, Spain, February 22-25

[ice&fire]

Gap coming down

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tarling too heavy for these guys and accidently dropping everyone on the descent

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder who's birthday it is today

I wonder who's birthday it is today

Alain Prost, Steve Jobs, Lleyton Hewitt....

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem is he can descend too, send him to San Remo

 

[Boehmand]

Call me crazy, but it seems to me Vingegaard is starting his season riding stage races differently this year.

It's no longer en "inexperienced" captain needing heavy support and riding a controlled/controlling race, but rather a Pogacar-style captain doing it by himself, even long range.

It is a style of riding which will help him start to contest hilly 1-day races, in a not too distant future

 

[Salvarani]

Tarling is a monster

Tratnik yesterday?

 

[saunaking]

Tarling is a monster

shouldn't he be closing skeletor?

 

[Tim Cahill]

shouldn't he be closing skeletor?

Guys nackered I think, shouldn't be getting over that climb in that group really

 

[Salvarani]

shouldn't he be closing skeletor?

He is not going for it though. Not with Garcia and Uran on the wheel, who is still a danger on GC for Bernal.

He rode every stage race last year this way as well, except for Paris-Nice where he wasn't that good. He just never gets credit for it.

He rode like this last year as well and no, Pogacar, Van der Poel etc. will still murder him if he decides to focus more on one day races

 

[Netserk]

Faster from the top of the climb to the finish than Tarling.

Yes, when he attacked, but the attacks are further out and with less support now.

Jonas must have been reading this forum where Remco and Pog gets so much love and admiration for attacking from afar

But i guess the majority on here dont care about Jonas

 

[KZD]

Vingegaard keeping his perfect record in non-neutralised stages at O'Gran Camiño. Descending masterclass today.

Best road stage I've seen Tarling doing so far in his career. Bodes well for the classics.

 

[Netserk]

Organisers must be quite happy to have him here, even if he overshadows all other participants.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I need to get me some of that cherry juice

 

[Netserk]

Honestly a shame that Castrillo couldn't hold on.

 

[DNP-Old]

Someone, please, find that man a telephone.

 

[HelloDolly]

Darren Rafferty is doing a very good race for his first time in a world Tour

But Jonas calls his wife and doesn't update instagram as much as Pogacar!!! I don't like that.

Got 0 credit for attacking Tourmalet with 60km to go while Pog making 1km attacks was the best thing since the invention of pineapple pizza.

People decide who they like first before then they retroactively point at 'rational' reasons for why they like someone
