Tirreno-Adriatico 2023, March 6-12

[Mayomaniac]

It's more hygienic if you fall off and have a graze or cut.

That (remember friction when you fall and have road rash) and making things easier when you get massages every day/on a regular basis with a decent amount of oil involved are pretty much the only real real reason.

'Not Mercx, Not Hinault, he's the phenomenal man, he's simon pellaud!'

Have I got that right?

The real phenomenon is Simon Pellaud.

 

[Didinho]

Jumbo again.

 

[Lui98]

Peloton destroyed

 

[Didinho]

These motors also right in front

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Peloton coming back.

 

[Didinho]

Ganna closed the gap on his own.
Girmay and Philipsen in front.

 

[titan31]

How did Adam Yates actually make that split?

 

[Didinho]

First time Mathieu missed the echelons? He bridged now.
Peloton finally back.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is being raced like it's a junior race and it's beautiful.

 

[BR2]

Can someone tell me why on earth Jumbo didn't ride when they had the gap?

Full headwind when they stopped. But Wout could have a chance in a sprint after echelons.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Go Sagan.

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu monster leadout, first one for Alpecin!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Alpecin on a different level there.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

perfect from Alpecin and MVDP

 

[Bolder]

Now that's a leadout...

 

[Elos Anjos]

MVDP is most valuable player, go figure.

 

[Red Rick]

MvdP actually great leadout this time.

 

[BR2]

He? What did Jakobsen do? Looked like he didn't bother, neither in the turn nor in the final sprint.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

It looked like Mathieu couldve continued over the line and still win it. Doing a 400 meter lead out is pretty amazing, Philipsen got this very easy with just 100 meter to go.

 

[Didinho]

First time Philipsen doesn't lost his wheel. And olso he's better as the last man for a sprinter, normally he destroyed the rest in the last km. Explosive last man leadout, perfectly done!

 

[BR2]

Full headwind when they stopped. But Wout could have a chance in a sprint after echelons.

But many single riders were able to catch up. They simply didn't fully work anymore, they could have. Why even go for it when you don't pull through a few km before the end?
