Tour de la Provence 2022 (February 10-13)

Lol, Rolland has made the first echelon? How?

Edit: It seems like it was a mistake on the graphics.

 

[Red Rick]

Why do people coninue overestimating Ganna like this? Calling him favourite for MSR, Roubaix, GCs with long MTFs. Maybe let him prove he can do something noteworthy in a road race apart from winning from a break before this maddening hysteria.

Didn't stop Van Aert from being a Tour GC option for Jumbo.

Maybe people be underestimating Montagnes de Lures

Van Aert has shown a lot, though.

Ganna has somehow gotten a reputation as the second coming of Cancellara because he is good-looking and rides a good TT (maybe the first part is not the real reason).

Ah, there is still hope for me.

Possibly. I think TTers are often attributed classics talent because of Cancellara, but I'm still curious to see Ganna.

I think he was in the first peloton, but got dropped eventually.

 

[BlueRoads]

lol the motorpacing

 

[Red Rick]

Ganna what are you doing

 

[Tim Cahill]

That was quite the demonstration, Carapaz completely blown off the wheel on the flat.

Viviani like;

 

[Wvv]

Exciting stuff, kudos to Bodnar and Ganna for this cat and mouse.
Not a big Ineos/SKY fan, but glad for Elia he has his win this early!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ganna saves the day

Yes, apparently he had been in an early break that was caught after the cross-wind action.

 

[Blanco]

Nairoman is so beast on the crosswinds.

King of the wind!

 

[Samamba]

Nairoman 2020 is present, will put a minute into everyone else on Sunday. Unstoppable.

GC

 

[Samamba]

Let's be honest, GC is Alaphilippe vs. Quintana.

Van Wilder.

 

[Skalman]

Let's be honest, GC is Alaphilippe vs. Quintana.

What about Latour?

 

[Samamba]

What about Latour?

There's just no way he's dropping Alaphilippe. Only one who can is Nairoman.

 

[Skalman]

Maybe you are right, but he seem to be in form anyway

 

[Samamba]

Maybe you are right, but he seem to be in form anyway

I am kinda hoping he surprises me or someone else (maybe Skjelmose?) so we get an exciting sunday.

 

[Earns1985]

Ineos wins the stage, but giftet away the GC today. Hayter out of GC and Carapaz also loses 14 seconds in the end after working for Viviani.

 

[DaLong]

Did I see Ganna accidentally drop the entire peloton on the flat bringing back Bodnar? Is he in that good of form?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think we can pretty accurately predict who will be in the top 10 now, it's just the order that isn't set in stone.
#24 is already 3minutes down in GC.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Seriously disappointing by Hayter. Other than that it was pretty much expected who lost time on this stage.
