Tirreno-Adriatico 2023, March 6-12

[TourOfSardinia]

Uphill ski jumper wins

 

[Divergence]

Bam, Rogla is the man.
That being said I think JV should have paced hard on the last lap because all the weak riders that got dropped on the second to last climb had time to come back and then go to the front and just make it dangerous for everybody

 

[Bolder]

I'm really happy Roglic won.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

YES ROGLA

 

[Samamba]

Ineos horrible apart from Hart

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Castelfidardo 2021, the really long solo while Pogacar destroyed everyone behind.

So, you are comparing climbing performances when he gets a free 4 minute lead (to only stay ahead by seconds) where he could ride each climb at his own pace, to when he has to follow actual climbers from the bunch? Seriously?

 

[noob]

That was worth the wait since august

 

[Red Rick]

Yates did a better leadout than Van der Poel yesterday change my mind

 

[frisenfruitig]

Damn, hopefully WVA and Pidcock are fine. Too bad we didn't get to see WVA finish, looked like he was following easily.

 

[perico]

Great win for Roglic. Such a class on the bike.

 

[Didinho]

Kämna just in GC lead ahead of Roglic I think? Came in 6 seconds behind.

Wasn't it Vlasov?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Wasn't it Vlasov?

Vlasov and Hindley were in the first group, then there was a little gap with a second group lead by Kämna - at least thats what I thought.

 

[Samamba]

What about Lafay. Pretty impressive team performance from the Cofidis-UAE-Jumbo.

 

[Gratemans]

Damn, hopefully WVA and Pidcock are fine. Too bad we didn't get to see WVA finish, looked like he was following easily.

WvA is probably fine, gave the camera a thumbs up I believe. Didn't look like a very hard crash, more of a slider. Pidcock should be ok as well.

So, you are comparing climbing performances when he gets a free 4 minute lead (to only stay ahead by seconds) where he could ride each climb at his own pace, to when he has to follow actual climbers from the bunch? Seriously?

The stage where he put 3.5 minutes into 11th place despite starting his efforts far earlier? That was definitely a far better-climbing Van der Poel than today's.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the crashed rider wasn't Landa.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the crashed rider wasn't Landa.

Glad it wasn't Roglic again

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Primoz is back, congrats! Ala, Yates and co stomped.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the crashed rider wasn't Landa.

Ngl, when I saw the Jumbo jersey I legitimately thought it was Kelderman for the fraction of a second before I realised it was the Red Bull helmet. Good thing it wasn't, because knowing his luck he would have broken multiple bones in the exact same crash.

I'm not debating he was not good today. Nor that he should be able to maybe even stay in the main group on this climb (like i hinted yesterday in his topic, in case the pace was not super high). But comparing both climbing performances is asinine. Furthermore, we all know he is better at shorter but steeper climbs, than he is on longer shallower ones.

This one was a lot longer and also 200+ altimeters which is quite a lot.

Scientists spending millions to find the least dense material when you just can just study Keldermans bones

 

[Jagartrott]

Great work Bouwman. You drop down the middle, then move from your line. Genius level stuff.

 

[BR2]

Of course I wanted Alaphilippe to win, but a moment after Roglic crossed the line I remembered I need him to perform well for my cq team, so well done, Primoz...

Not bad from Ala, though, and most of all

LENNARD in yellow, yeah!!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Well done, Roglič, although it doesn't say too much about his form, but he's on the right track.

Lafay could have finished top 3, if not better, but he hit the front too early.

Appalling coverage at the end. There was no need to film Van Aert and Pidcock for so long.
