Tour de l’Avenir 2023 (August 20-27)

[ciranda]

today's stage has been moved forward due to high temperatures

break ahead with 96 kms to go w riders like Segaert, Foldager, Romeo, del Grosso, some others and perhaps most interestingly TIM TOM TEUTENBERG

I'd be really surprised if del Toro won't end up on a decent pct or wt team next season. The guy races for a small club, still hasn't turned 20 and does impressive things without any team to support him (3 consecutive 4th places on the mountain stages in the Giro della Valle d'Aosta while being the only guy on his team left in the race during all those stages).

 

[Mayomaniac]

If he was called Teutoburg it would be even better...

Jan Christen doing his best Remco impression there, coming in second.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Iván Romeo A-not so-Bad!

You do know his name is Tim Torn Teutenberg, right?

Iván Romeo A-not so-Bad!

He threw away about 3 or 4 seconds coasting across the line, though he was exhausted and understandable, but still he is on 46 seconds on GC and 4 seconds behind behind 5th and 5 seconds to 4th. I guess it would depend on if his attributes to go for GC though, if not giving those seconds may not matter.

I assume he wasn't thinking too much about the GC. I don't expect him to be among the best riders on Col de la Loze tomorrow.

 

[SafeBet]

Colombians love their Col de la Loze.

 

[Samamba]

Ricci will just clean this up probably. Still find it stupid he's here.

 

[SafeBet]

Pinzon
Riccitello
Piganzoli
Lecerf
Del Toro
Rondel
Pellizzari
Muniz

 

[Samamba]

Ricci looks like he doesn't even have to try. He obviously always looks like that but

 

[SafeBet]

Wow Del Toro is so good.

 

[ciranda]

del Toro wanted to see if Piganzoli was tired then closed to Riccitello pretty fast

 

[Samamba]

Damn Del Toro even stronger than I thought. There were UAE rumours already right?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Viva la raza!

Riccitello trying to drop Del Toro but he keeps fighting! Great battle.

 

[Samamba]

He's so incredibly good.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Matxin gonna love this kid.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

He's so incredibly good.

 

[Mayomaniac]

You also have remember that he still hasn't turned 20, is on a small club and racing against guys that are already pros.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Mayomaniac]

He looks like Tyler Hamilton's Mexican son

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Del Toro winning this after losing approximately 7 hours in the TTT would be the most impressive thing.
