Tirreno-Adriatico 2020 - 7th - 14th September

[RedheadDane]

This is great racing!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vai Matteo!

 

[RedheadDane]

Come on, Fabro!

 

[RedheadDane]

Aawww... Mathieu... that wasn't nice.

 

[johnymax]

Nice finale. Too bad for Fabro. I was rooting for him. Great win for MVDP.

 

[Poursuivant]

Painful that

 

[Savant12]

MVDP is just a beast in the last 1km.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Painful that

Yes, as far as I know it would have been his first win as a pro. Still, MVDP is a monster and Fabbro has a great engine for a 52kg lightweight.

 

[Savant12]

Kelderman 4th? Didn't we get an abandon shout earlier on this thread?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So, Kelderman did quite well finishing in the top5 for a guy who DNF.

Probably a bike change with a teammate and that guy dnf.

 

[RedheadDane]

Finish for Mathieu?

BTW, the answer to your question is obviously "Yes!"

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Probably a bike change with a teammate and that guy dnf.

Still, pretty amateurish. If organizations don't pay closer attention, i would start swapping bikes at random to throw rivals off

"Hey Primoz, shouldn't you respond to Bernal's attack?"
-"No man, Bernal got dropped 10 minutes ago, Radio Tour said so".

lol

Have to see replay from this stage. MVDP snatching a win is a nice suprise.

How was that a surprise?

What does that ITT on Stage 8 look like? Does Thomas have a chance to win the overall?

It's the usual 10km completely flat TT. Thomas in his best shape might stand a chance but I'm not sure he is there yet.

I don't think he was being nice!

Hope this ride today will get Fabbro another contract at Bora. Would be cool to see two Friuli prospects together next year if Aleotti does indeed get confirmed. The win today would obviously made his year so far but he was very solid all year. Places at Bora are getting limited though.

 

[KZD]

Glad to see Van der Poel winning a stage in the TA. Looking good for the classics.

Last year, Roglic made 26 seconds on A.Yates to steal the overall by 0.4 seconds - Simon is a better ITTer than Adam while Thomas is around the same level as Roglic - It's unlikely Thomas can get the win,though he's a chance to grab second.

4s per km is a lot to make up.

Adam finished 39s behind Campanaerts last year, but 26s behind Roglic. Simon would settle for a repeat performance.

 

[SafeBet]

4s per km is a lot to make up.

I agree. As things stand Simon is the overwhelming favorite to win the overall.

 

[Red Rick]

4s per km is a lot to make up.

Adam finished 39s behind Campanaerts last year, but 26s behind Roglic. Simon would settle for a repeat performance.

Judging by Yates' climbing he's not really gonna drop an utterly shite TT either

Maybe their mentor De Marchi also ends up at Bora...
