Tirreno-Adriatico 2025, March 10-16

[Dazed and Confused]

Solid win by Ayoso. Very good try by Ganna too.

 

[KZD]

Good win for Ayuso and monumental performance from Ganna, losing just 50 seconds for a rider like Ayuso on a climb like this is incredible.

 

[Netserk]

Maybe he just isn't the Geenerational talent you thought/hoped.

It's Project Geero, not Gee-rreno.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Ayuso speaking English with almost a Belgian accent.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wait, Ayuso has a Dackel/Wienerdog? He kissed him before his gf...

 

[Netserk]

The streets will never forget this Ganna GC week

They should have cancelled this climb.

 

[search]

Ganna is only a second behind Tiberi now in GC, I think, so may go for the bonus sprint tomorrow.

 

[Samamba]

Good to see finishing Johannessen close to top 10 GC again in a big WT race finally. UNO X doing great. They really need to hope Astana catches Cofidis, DSM or Intermarché cause then they will probably secure guaranteed Wild Cards if they keep going like this

 

[Netserk]

Ganna has said that he weights 85-86 kg now.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I do wonder what this will do for Ganna's legs for next weekend.

Mathieu pulled the plug early on the climb, saving the legs for later.

 

[Escarabajo]

This parcours! So horrible.

 

[Faserr]

Wait, Ayuso has a Dackel/Wienerdog? He kissed him before his gf...

Thats why his girlfriemd cried. 😞

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Ayuso was this good last spring

I just wonder how that contract that lasts to 2028 is going to hold up?

Will be difficult to get out of unless they come to an agreement or someone pays a hefty price... but UAE could ask for anything. They dont need it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The dog would probably have cried, too.

 

[Lequack]

That smile is a little scary

 

[YavorD]

He needs a solid GT in the Giro. If he doesn't at least finish on podium he won't be in position to require anything.

...they are well financed...

 

[Red Rick]

Stage was actually uncannily similar to Monte Petrano last year.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Hatch just said that Pidcock doesn't do Ecstasy...Hatch drinking again.

Hatch just said that Pidcock doesn't do Ecstasy...Hatch drinking again.

I think you might be. Hatch is at paris-nice.

 

[balac]

It was funny seeing Yates not even doing a pull for Ayuso given what he said about him last year. He didn't even warn him that he was done, because Ayuso was extremely surprised that no one else was there.

 

[scribers]

Probably just too early in the year for Yates. Nice trajectory for Ayuso

 

[Peyroteo94]

Ayuso looks too good right now. Maybe he found another gear or he is peaking too soon.

Both Ayuso and Matxin have said that he's taken a big step numbers wise. Whether that holds up over the season, remains to be seen.
