Tirreno - Adriatico 2022 (7.03-13.03)

Let's hope the masterplan of QS is to have Pogacar dig deep and have the peloton take them back in the end...

Their plan is the stage win obviously. Alaphilippe can win up front and if/when it comes back the other trains will have been weakened.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Lol what happened? Last time I checked the Peleton was on its own with 30km left and we have 4 GC guys in front on a sprint finish?

 

[JosefK]

That kid, though.

There's no choice but to love how he races.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Normally QS must tell Ala not to work. Remco wants to win the GC here…

That really doesn't qualify as a masterplan. If that's the idea, Ala is doing too much work and he'll be outsprinted.

Can't stop Alaphilippe from pulling no matter what the plan is.

And they will be caught regardless.

Last time I checked Alaphilippe is the World Champion. And the best rider of this team. And this is the way he always rides.
So until Evenepoel is a proven commodity in WT stage races he should keep doing what he normally does.

Can you explain what pogacar digging deep means? Tomorrow the guy will be as fresh as the rest of the peloton

 

[Salvarani]

They are not far behind! But it was a great moment!

Exactly. Also Pogacar is super likely to beat Evenepoel anyhow, so why would you not allow Alaphilippe to work.

 

[JosefK]

It was fun while it lasted!

At least he won't be fresher than the others tomorrow

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Maybe Ala works because he does not like Remco. Let‘s not forget, both want to be QS’s leader for Liege 2022…

 

[sir fly]

Pogačar has energy to spare.

By doing what he normally does, you mean riding like an ass?
And by ass i mean donkey.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pogi is a cannibal, but Ala is also a bit of a knucklehead for working with them.

You really think that Alaphilippe should not rider just because TGH is a competitor for Evenepoel in GC?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Exactly. Also Pogacar is super likely to beat Evenepoel anyhow, so why would you not allow Alaphilippe to work.

To increase both his own and Evenepoel's chances, the former for the stage, the latter for GC.

Ala is often a bit of a donkey when it comes to tactics, nothing new...

Chris Horner is taking notes . . .

 

[topcat]

I think Pog should just drop the peloton now. Why prolong the agony?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Monster turn by Affini.
