Tirreno-Adriatico 2025, March 10-16

It's called not having both of them work remotely.

You could have something like a chess clock which mutes the other person. I am sure the technology would be very simple.

Or just a simple volume adjuster. If volume is already coming in from one point, the microphone volume is turned off from the other input.

Interestingly, Valentin Paret-Peintre was pretty happy with his time trial yesterday. According to him, the numbers were better than expected, and he could limit his losses in gc

Problem is, he still finished only 147th, though

He was still better than Fortunato.

But yeah, a pitiful performance.

Did he go full gas? He lost 1.50 minutes...

First sprint stage today with Milan, Kooij and Groenewegen as the fastest men among the pack. Then there's also Magnier, Bennett, Coquard and others to challenge them. If brought properly it should be Milan that wins easily though.

 

[Wyndbrook]

I'll give him a call.

Hope you make a better job of telling him than the person who was supposed to let him know the plank was being removed.

 

[Rob5091]

Looks like Ayuso & Tiberi for the GC. Otherwise some sprint warm ups which should give an idea of the pecking order for the GT's.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lonely man, Tarozzi, leading by a couple mins. Maybe we shall see some action up Canneto in 80kms time.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tarozzi out there on his own again, he reminds me a bit of Pirazzi for some reason, hopefully one day he will have his moment at the Giro like Stefano did.

 

[Brullnux]

That climb, if we can even call it as such, on stage 3 is a big nothing. I'd be insanely surprised if Milan is dropped there. Only the first ~2 kilometers are worth noting, at about 8%. The other 16 are at an average gradient of about 1,7%.

The final 5km or so are at 5%, and then there's five kilometres of flat road, so it's a bit harder than you're making it out to be. I'd be surprised if Milan was dropped but I wouldn't be surprised if a fast pace means he can't sprint at full power, given there's no descent either.

Honestly think that if it were a 2km at 8% climb, descent, 8km flat, 5km at 5% and then plateau to the finish, people would think it harder than they currently do. Seeing it as one big climb at 2-3% hides the difficulty of it a bit, IMO.

How is Milan supposed to survive 1.7 kms at 9% if anyone wants to set a high tempo?

He also doesn't have a descent to get back immediately (that could also make it harder to keep up a high pace in the bunch, granted).

Anyone going fast enough to drop Milan instantly probably kills their choo choo train as well?

Yeah it's actually quite a tricky finish to perfect. Probably better to get someone to attack on that section, force Lidl-Trek to chase, and hammer it on the 5k at 5% part. Milan might still be in the group but it might be like the Napoli stage at the Giro where his sprint is then hindered. It's a hard(ish) finish, good MSR prep, given it's also 240k with 3300m of climbing.

Or, if you're VdP, just attack on the hard bit and hope for the best.

 

[pastronef]

poor Tarozzi, not even a Polti or Arkea rider went with him

 

[Berniece]

Let's hope so, otherwise there's not much to do for him here besides stage 5

I don't think MvdP attacks early, I'd think he attacks the final km of the climb if at all. Sprinter trains should be depleted and vulnerable, and it's only 4.1km after the top.

I actually think it's very likely an attack wins. I can see Ganna getting it done too.

The pace is slower than the majestic UAE Tour. MVDP is on a DETRAINING ride today.

 

[Red Rick]

I am so over these orchestrated 1 man breakaways.

Give him 25 minutes you cowards.

Seems to me like a stage where Uno-X should try something and hope Cort will be the fastest man to survive.

New tactic to disrupt the hot shots, detraining ride!

 

[Lequack]

Remember Cro race 2022, where Milan went head to head with the best climbers on a 1.5km steep climb, like Vingegaard and Onley. That man can climb.

This is nasty work from Polti, hope they get caught.

what did I miss?
yes I saw now, I'm a bit behind with the live broadcast

Yeah, I was just going to say the same. Very calculated. Probably a bit too much on the cynical side.

 

[RedheadDane]

Just got home from work.
What'd they do?
