Tirreno-Adriatico 2020 - 7th - 14th September

yes, but I think Ackermann does not do the Giro (Sagan)?

Indeed.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Oh damn I really forgot about Sagan.

Please tell me how you did this so I can try

 

[KZD]

Tomorrow should be a good stage for MVDP he will need to watch Fuglsang closely

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Oh damn I really forgot about Sagan. I get that he has not raced in Giro but still would have favored Ackermann to start Giro with so good form.

the Bora way... you get a sprinter who is in the reckoning for fastest guy of the year and then you send him only to the Vuelta. They are making a tradition of it. Ackermann will get a chance to experience the joy of Vuelta “flat” stages.

I had the impression that it was due to this new calender that Ackermann's schedule had changed. And without the Budapest start, there are only 4 easy sprint stages and 1 single other chance (stage 4, which could go to the break). With the Vuelta, he's able to ride BinckBank Tour (and some classics).

Break at 3:37 -100km

Italy is too beautiful I can't watch races without wanting to visit again

looking forward to seeing how today goes.

 

[RedheadDane]

That's a steep road!

 

[Eclipse]

Mmmm grind it

 

[Red Rick]

That climb is pretty savage

 

[Red Rick]

Cipo on the roadside without a mask

 

[Red Rick]

Why do so many riders get gearing so wrong.

 

[Red Rick]

That climb was so steep the GC riders basically rode their own pace and rode away from everyone

 

[Climbing]

Damn Tiz not working for Tirreno... wanted to see that passage!

 

[sir fly]

Impressive fortress.

 

[fuiers]

I would love to see MVDP snatch a win today. Stage looks to be in his territory.

 

[Eclipse]

EF are setting a proper pace

e: or am i being trolled by timings? peloton didn't exactly look easy

 

[Red Rick]

Break shoudl probably lose more than a minute on the climb, it's harder and longer than the Mur de Huy.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Anyone else having no sound on the GCN-player?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Thomas is looking good.

 

[Red Rick]

How in seven hells is Kelderman there

 

[Eclipse]

Really really good showing from Thomas

Excellent climb from Woods obviously

no surprises to see the Astanaduo right on it
