Tirreno-Adriatico 2020 - 7th - 14th September

[Valv.Piti]

Froome only 9:50 back today. At this rate, he might improve enough to finish ahead of Dani Navarro at La Vuelta.

If Antonio ever makes freak transformation, we'll point at today finishing ahead of Froome and say the talent was always evident.

Mont ventoux challenge: Dayer versus Antonio. Mask free event.

I did not expect that much more from Froome this season, but now I feel sorry for him.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Watching Froome now is like in a boxing movie when the old champ is taking a beating and refuses to stay down and the trainer and the crowd and the viewer all are thinking, please, man, just stay down. But back up he goes, only to get knocked down again...

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Tomorrow is the same climb from 2018 right? Are we expecting bigger gaps this time/was it due to a headwind?

Ive been debating starting a thread dedicated to all the “Prudencios” out there like Dayer, Antonio, Juraj, Aydar Zakarin, the other Costa, Whatever his name is Viviani, and Jesus Hernandez.

Throw Andy Schleck in there for good measure.

Raging Bull comes to mind

Surely it's Jesus Herrada who's the good Herrada - or at least the slightly better Herrada. He was the one who saved the Herrada family honour at the Vuelta last year, after José was beaten by the Amazingly Returning Man (Madrazo) the day before.

Hmm... is Søren Kragh good enough for Asbjørn to be a "Prudencio"? Who's the "Prudencio" of the Izagirre brothers?

 

[Red Rick]

Yestadej Pogacar.

I laughed way too hard at this

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Lawrence Roche?

Do they have to be pros or have raced at the pro level?

Attilio, always makes me think of the character from 1900. Both Izagirres are really good but still Ion is better. Prudencio was not bad afaik, continued a couple of years after Miguel had stopped as a valued support rider. A real contender is maybe Simone Rebellin.

 

[Leinster]

Lawrence Roche?

Finished his one GT higher than his brother, or Kelly or Earley. Tbf.

Lawrence Naesen, Jerôme Gilbert, Bryan Alaphillipe etc.

 

[SafeBet]

Rayane Bouhanni.

There have been 4 pro Roches as Nicos brother was at Pomme-Marseille and was until recently or maybe still is riding in France

 

[Breezy1985]

Pat McQuaids family were also a dynasty but not sure how many were pro

 

[tobydawq]

What an excellent race. Really a bad overall GC pick by me but I guess I'm just used to Tirreno being a race with two TT's, four sprints (of different sorts) and a light MTF.

Already last year was better but this is a real race. Kudos to the organisers, hopefully they realise that and don't draw the conclusion that a dip in viewership is due to the parcours and not a clash with the Tour...

You DO realise Rocky always wins in the end, right?

Otherwise you end up with a thread, where we have to mention every brother of a rider - irrespective of what they do for a living

No he doesnt but I wont spoil it for anyone

 

[Red Rick]

Judging by Thomas' comments, it seems he got the decision between either being a domestique at the Tour or being a leader for the Giro.
