Tirreno-Adriatico 2023, March 6-12

[DNP-Old]

Man, the amount of tears from contagious laughter that must be hitting the floor in the Jumbo car right now must be unfathomable.

UAE apparently didn’t watch the last two stages and want to go to a sprint with Roglic

Yates looks really good though. But I don't get it either.

 

[topcat]

Getting interesting

 

[BR2]

It's all fake, right? The rivalry between Vingegaard and Pogacar. They are collaborators.

 

[Netserk]

Yates needs the bonus seconds, I think this is fine.

 

[Ricco']

They even are allowing WVA to replenish his forces again so he can launch Roglic up the Muro.

 

[Faserr]

Why don't they let WvA work? UAE is somehow beyond stupid there. But prove me wrong.

 

[BR2]

Seriously, you have an über-team and then when they have finally exhausted themselves, you help them? I can't.

 

[topcat]

Alaphillipe has got to be the favourite from here

 

[noob]

UAE goal is to take UCI points, Team classification gotta be their goals

 

[ij74]

UAE now helping out, jesus let Jumbo sort this mess on their own.

Knucklehead move

Honestly though, UAE has no interest in not chasing Vlasov.

 

[Didinho]

They're gaining time now. Good Uae tactics after all.

I still think McNulty should have tried to jump to the front on that bump with 15 to go instead, making others chase

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

UAE has 3 guys in the top 13. They should’ve sent one of them with Vlasov instead of this.

Yes, that is likely a better play. Sitting back is not.

 

[BR2]

Jumbo still has van Aert. As long as he's there you don't work. Vlasov is not the biggest threat for them or the big rival. Their rivals are all in the group they lead.

 

[noob]

Almeida usually not good on stages like these now going closer to the front :O

 

[Netserk]

Will Wout top-3 the stage? Keep watching to find out.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I don't blame teams looking after their GC with Vlasov up the road. What annoys me that no one will have a plan except for "chase the break down, let Roglic stomp everyone". Should've rolled attacks way earlier.

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

Oh my, who would have expected that

 

[limak_]

So the plan from Thursday - 1. Wout, 2. Primoz is still on the board for today?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Boring stage. Was expecting a lot more.

 

[Didinho]

Almeida was loading his yoyo early. Good call.
Roglic seems the strongest again.
