Tirreno-Adriatico 2023, March 6-12

[OlavEH]

It's difficult to judge, but I think that may have been one of the best lead-outs I've ever seen........

Pogacar needs a team of flowers/trophy holders

Not in T-A, he doesn't!

Sorry, wrong topic.

The MVDP leadout was a thing of beauty - Doubt there will be many better leadouts in 2023.

 

[RedheadDane]

Sorry, wrong topic.

SPOILER!

Though, TBF, Pogacar winning stuff is hardly spoiler...

 

[DaLong]

Beautiful, just how I draw it up in PCM. Fun stage.

It's nice to see that MVDP is even happier than the winner

Paging @Eshnar

What does a Ligurian say, has the 15 most recent editions of Tirreno - Adriatico been de facto Ligure - Adriatico?

not really... even if it's technically true, we don't commonly think of the sea off Camaiore as Ligurian.
Technically correct IS the best kind of correct though...

(from the video commentary)

"Philipsen's going from very very long" as Philipsen begins a 6 second sprint from 100 metres.

Gotta love how Horner doesn't even attempt to pronounce any rider- or place-name correctly.

And nobody has a problem with beards (apart from me).

Noob has a problem with beards for sure! And mustaches. Grateful Rogla got rid of his.

And also finally a proper stage tomorrow.

Lots of descending makes me hope Pidcock might have a pop just for the fun of it, and create a bit of chaos.

would be fun to see, but I'd think he is the favourite to win a potential small sprint tomorrow, so it's probably not too likely

Two stages can shape the GC, the Tortoreto is where anyone with GC aspirations needs to be careful: don't lose stupid time being 20th and a gap opens between 14th and 15th.

Congratulations to Jasper Philipsen for winning the sprint.

Although van der Poel gifted it to him. JV was up for some TTT today. Unfortunately to no avail. But the engines are cranking up. And JV should target the remainder of the stages. As some went balls out in regards to shaving. Rogla said he will shave when he wins again. And hopefully for that to happen in this life time.

This has STOMP written all over it.

I noticed riders like Simmons and Battistella lost time yesterday (on purpose, I guess) so we might find them in the break.

Ganna loves crosswinds, they finally just make room for him.

This is kinda first test for Primoz.
