Tirreno-Adriatico 2020 - 7th - 14th September

[Hugo Koblet]

Majka attacks? Now I've seen everything.

 

[Eclipse]

I'm sorry did Majka just attack?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Woods looking very good.

Contender for Worlds for sure.

 

[Red Rick]

Because Sunweb soomehow send their A team to Tirreno-Adriatico instead of the Tour...

And they sent their leader to Jumbo as well

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Majka attacks? Now I've seen everything.

I seem to remember many Majka attacks throughout his career, so I don't quite understand?

 

[Red Rick]

Majka attacks? Now I've seen everything.

Add that to the list of things that happened in 2020

 

[Mayomaniac]

Will Barta in the group behind Woods and Majka.

 

[Oliver]

No shark in the second group?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I seem to remember many Majka attacks throughout his career, so I don't quite understand?

Yeah, he has done some attacks for stage wins, but don't recall him ever attacking when he's been in contention for GC. Well, except for some pseudo-attacks for 5 seconds.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Thomas looks good for Worlds and the Giro.

It seems like the right choice to not bring him to the Tour.

 

[Velolover2]

Majka attacks more often than people think as long as he doesn't have to contribute in the breakaway.

 

[Oliver]

Woods wins

 

[dicanio_michael]

Another foolish ride by Astana again and again.

 

[sir fly]

Strong performance from Woods.
Good selection over the final climb.

 

[shalgo]

Majka attacks more often than people think as long as he doesn't have to contribute in the breakaway.

Exactly, Majka attacks, but if someone else goes with him, Majka never takes a pull.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Great win by Woods, who is now 30 seconds ahead on GC.

Nice to see EF take charge and ride the race like the dominant GC team.

 

[postmanhat]

Seeing Majka beaten at the finish line is enough for me to rate it a good stage

 

[johnymax]

Nice win for Woods. Majka also very strong.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Another foolish ride by Astana again and again.

Meh, they had to go up against faster guys in that group and Woods was the strongest on the murito.

 

[Eclipse]

Nice stage, good finale. Very impressed by Woods

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Exactly, Majka attacks, but if someone else goes with him, Majka never takes a pull.

The guy can't sprint to save his life, so he never wants to reach the line with anyone

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Astana???? Its not just about the stage, 20 secs for Majka and Woods in the overall. Vlasov should have been put to work.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Interesting to see Vlasov try and beat Bling on the line, the guy clearly has a sprint in him.

It will be interesting to see him at the Giro, he might be a bigger Russian talent than Sivakov?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Astana???? Its not just about the stage, 20 secs for Majka and Woods in the overall. Vlasov should have been put to work.

Astana probably want both Fuglsang and Vlasov to ride GC.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Interesting to see Vlasov try and beat Bling on the line, the guy clearly has a sprint in him.

It will be interesting to see him at the Giro, he might be a bigger Russian talent than Sivarokv?

With the Russians it's like with the Americans, maybe one out of 10 great u23 riders becomes a great pro, so being able to say who's the biggest talent is always hard.
