Tour de La Provence 2020 (2.Pro) - February 13-16

[Salvarani]

Quintana

go on son

 

[Wvv]

Vintage Nairo.

Seems like Colombians inspire eachother transcontinental.

Bagioli in Pinot's wheel.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like Arkea Samsic is the place where old stars go be reborn. First Bouhanni, now Quintana.

 

[Red Rick]

It might be Movistar jerseys but Quintana looks less phat than at Movistar.

 

[Rollthedice]

Vlasov has had enough of his amateur companions.

My thoughts exactly. Arkea outfit is not unpleasant to watch either.

Pinot not in brilliant shape yet. But doesn't need to be. Bagioli promising.

Pinot didn't go XC skiing. I can imagine that would affect him, but honestly I'd also wonder if he wouldn't build too much upper body muscle doing that.

 

[SafeBet]

One minute on Vlasov, Lutsenko and Carthy.
Almost 2 on the other group.

Madre mia

Nairo looks super strong and slimer. Glad the Astana boys are tearing it up as well

 

[repre]

Nairo in mid season form

 

[Rollthedice]

The French will at last win a TdF, with Nairoux.

 

[Wvv]

I appreciate GCN Racing and their commentators. KUTGW.

 

[DNP-Old]

It's only February, I'm not losing my mind just yet. Nairo's base level, even in his off years, was always quite high. But maybe, just maybe, this Arkea thing might work out. Nairo and Bouhanni were already showing some signs in the Nationals Championships and that Saudi-Arabia race.

 

[Simurgh]

Comforting my self by hoping that Thibaut is focusing on training accelerations rather than trying to minimize the gap

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice win, Nairo.

 

[Red Rick]

Reminds me of Hazallanas 2015, except with only 1 top climber.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Lutsenko could have done more, clearly.

 

[christopherrowe]

that. Was. AWESOME! My wife came in and said, "Who is Nairo and why are you shouting at him?"

You need to educate your wife!

 

[Escarabajo]

And there's that!!

Nice to see him this strong again. He did not seem to slow down which is the important thing about his win.

Nice to see the team working for him. Including Barguil. He does not seem to mind at all. In fact, it looks like it eases the pressure that he used to have. Emotionally speaking this is a very nice win. Also having his compatriot friend Anacona to his side.

Nairo dropping a hydrogen bomb in mid February.

Nairo dropping a hydrogen bomb in mid February.

To me it looks suspiciously similar to Porte in January
