Tirreno - Adriatico 2022 (7.03-13.03)

[Velolover2]

Arensman is really impressive.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Credit where it's due to Simmons, this is one of the most memorable and impressive KOM jersey challenges I've seen in a one-week race.

 

[Velolover2]

Love the winter landscape.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Basque descent attack alert!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Carruso wanting to make a snow angel. Bilbao not having it.

Add Simmons to the list of random riders Carlton Kirby is crazy about.

 

[Eclipse]

Love the winter landscape.

Everything about the scenery today is gorgeous

I will never quite get why this seems to be considered weird? He's a commentator who actually goes the extra mile to hype up people who aren't just the usual suspects and make things outside of being the best GC rider or sprinter significant.

Someone is gonna become a snowman before the end of this descent

 

[Faserr]

Crazy downhill to the finish.

The kid still has lots of years. Don't write him off.

Maybe some people should lower their expectations on him becoming a GC rider for the GTs.

As far as one-day races, one-week races and ITTs goes he could be one of the best for many years. Have a great career. Who knows, he might get a good GC result in a GT if everything goes his way. I hope they dont force him down that route unless he really wants to.

Why are you so surprised that Remco dropped so early? I was curious about him since fans hyped him so much but he has not showed anything special yet in the profipeloton to be compared to Pogačar.

 

[saganftw]

He is just not a real climber. He could win Paris-Nice and classics.

if the race doesnt have long climbs,steep climbs,dangerous descents,challenging stages like gravel and has decent sized TTs he can win every race

so basically tour of poland

Have you watched today´s stage at Paris-Nice? This climb is probably easier than the one Roglič won at.

The Paris-Nice MTF is usually easier though, if it's something like Valdeblore that would be doable. Certainly if his climbing form is at the level it was right before his Lombardia crash, he seems to have tailed off a bit since tbh.

 

[Red Rick]

If Pogacar can do it all, does that mean he can #freealanda?

Poland didn't have a TT. Burgos didn't have a TT either and it had steep climbs. But sure.

Lets not pretend this is the best Evenepoel can do. While hes not a top 10 climberon big steep things, this isnt his level

I wouldnt say so.

This one is much more brutal. No place to hide.

Turini could have been controlled with a strong team/train. Which could have suited Remco in particular much better. Steady high tempo on lesser gradients. Only some steep parts.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Bilbao bringing back the supertuck?

 

[Open Horizon]

Why are you so surprised that Remco dropped so early? I was curious about him since fans hyped him so much but he has not showed anything special yet in the profipeloton to be compared to Pogačar.

It's one thing to get beaten by a superior talent like Pogacar, or to drop out of a poorly prepared for Giro, but what we're witnessing right now is quite something else.

I hope his devotees can finally start to accept him as he is, instead of projecting their fantasies on him and crushing him in the process.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Porte and Pinot aren't the ones you want to be following on that descent.

 

[Red Rick]

Bilbao DQ incoming?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Turini is harder than anything he's ever done well on though, I can't see how he'd have beaten Roglic on this year's route.

 

[Salvarani]

Love seeing Pinot in this group
