Tirreno - Adriatico 2021, March 10 - March 16

[jaylew]

Almeida going for it

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Bit worried by Yates...thats not normal, still feeling effects of covid?

 

[Skalman]

They are not catching him are they

 

[jaylew]

Predicted top 3. MVDP started too late.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Poor Almeida, at least the win stayed with his team.

 

[Fernandez]

Impresive Alaphilipe

 

[70kmph]

Nice 1

 

[Bushman]

Bad positioning by Van der Poel. Crazy speed at the end.

 

[sir fly]

Tirreno as a Strade Bianche sequel...
Spectacular pursuit.
Chapeau.

 

[tobydawq]

Strade guys boosted by yet another recent Tour winner.

 

[Skalman]

Really nice long sprint by Ala, kudos to Almeida

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sad face. I hate it when that happens to the attacker

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bad positioning by Van der Poel. Crazy speed at the end.

Was right near the back at just over 1k to go, wondered whether he didn't have the legs, but no, he could have won this.

 

[SafeBet]

Watt explosion by Alaphilippe.
MvdP needs some positioning classes though.

 

[Fernandez]

Not sure if Alaphilipe stole the win from Almeida

 

[Bonimenier]

Not sure if Alaphilipe stole the win from Almeida

Nah, he was going to get caught either way

 

[Bolder]

Watt explosion by Alaphilippe.
MvdP needs some positioning classes though.

Agree...vdP was pissed he didn't go earlier. Would have won that.

That was an incredibly stacked field in the last 10k.

(And JA still needs to learn to ride through the damn flag! vdP only lost by half a bike length.)

 

[Escarabajo]

What a finish!
Power, power power. New times we are living. Half the stages from stage races will be won by these three. Maybe Roglic and Pogacar will squeeze in a win or two in there.

 

[Fernandez]

Nah, he was going to get caught either way

But maybe Alaphilipe should have waited other to start the sprint

 

[Bonimenier]

But maybe Alaphilipe should have waited other to start the sprint

Why? He won, and Almeida was about to be overtaken anyway.

 

[Bolder]

Nah, he was going to get caught either way

no, Geraint's surge was the nail in the coffin. So might as well have a teammate win. Though Almeida was really impressive. I'd say he's got a future in this sport...

 

[Escarabajo]

Not sure if Alaphilipe stole the win from Almeida

No way. He was going to get caught.

 

[Skalman]

But maybe Alaphilipe should have waited other to start the sprint

Then he would have been beaten and Almeida too, He had nothing left.

 

[BlueRoads]

If I was van der Poel I'd always just stay on Alaphilippe's wheel and then move ahead when he already starts celebrating.

 

[Fernandez]

Then he would have been beaten and Almeida too, He had nothing left.

Yep, that is the most probably
