Tirreno-Adriatico 2025, March 10-16

[Berniece]

Everything will come back together, those 3 groups will merge

 

[Netserk]

Kooij in the group that is going nowhere.

Ag2r and Derek Gee pulling the group.

 

[Netserk]

Gee and Frigo are able to save it. No one in the first peloton seem interested in keeping it going for now.

 

[Brullnux]

Is it a hot take to say Milan's survivability isn't all that great on long climbs

He's survived similar/longer before so I think this is more in the 'disappointing performance' category than emblematic of a bigger trend (for now). He's no Groves of course but he shouldn't really be getting dropped at the start of climbs like today's.

As in, I don't think he regularly survives a climb like this in the front group but he should be getting dropped in the final few km and ending up 1:30 back or so, and regain it on the descent. Today is just quite bad

Still half a minute between the groups, isnt it?

 

[Netserk]

Still half a minute between the groups, isnt it?

Very close to the tail of the peloton.

~8" between the groups.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yeah, Ineos is still riding....

 

[Berniece]

Does anyone now where MVDP is? Is he in the peloton?

 

[Netserk]

Kwiatkowski upped the pace, making it hard for Gee.

 

[search]

did they drop Cian on that descent, or who was it from Visma?

 

[jono]

Does anyone now where MVDP is? Is he in the peloton?

He has been riding in the first 10 or 15 spots of the peloton, behind the Ineos train and a few other riders. Vermeersch is with him, as well as a few other Alpecin guys.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

headless drone style riding in that roundabout...

 

[Didinho]

Echelooons again! Ineos and UAE.

 

[Netserk]

Splitting again, UAE joined Ineos.

 

[Samamba]

That group is too small, Ganna is going too hard

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow look at the strength, UAE should ride here

 

[Netserk]

6 riders in front: De Plus, Ganna, Ayuso, Del Toro, Pacher, Grossschartner.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

hopefully they will keep riding...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Everybody are tired and wanna hit the hotel, big opportunity for the 6 guys

 

[Rob5091]

So we're back to "juniors style" racing again?!

 

[Netserk]

Eventually, Gee will have to sit up and save his legs.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can't help but think Ganna might screw his form for the classics riding like this, though he looks like he's not even trying here.

 

[Netserk]

GC of the group:

Ineos can end up with 2 riders on the final podium.

really nice stage. Didn't expect this

Echelons in TA, what is going on!?
