Tour de Pologne 2023 (July 29th - August 4th)

[Devil's Elbow]

Can’t have a Tour de Pologne without multiple stages having big crashes and I guess we’d only had the opening stage so far…

Too easy for Van den Berg, really the only person who was going to win once he became the only sprinter to survive the climbs.

if I got that right from my limited French, the organization asked the dropped riders to stop, which apparently led to some confusion.

MVDB by a mile, in the correct position and very fast like he was in Alcudia early in the year

That's what it looks like when a legit fast man goes up against good climby-sprinty boys like Mohoric and Kwiato

 

[Wvv]

What a m*r*n that FDJ-rider. Hope Van Wilder is ok.

A common way to help kids remember what is what:

PM: På Madrassen (evening)
AM: Af Madrassen (morning)

Jesus, the holidays have been too long!!

It’s a good thing that Logic is sitting out a ban, otherwise we would have 15 posts arguing why that FDJ rider should be banned for the rest of the season by tomorrow.

I think this may be the first WT sprint win by EF I have watched in more than 10 years.

Cort in Córdoba, Vuelta 2021?

Van den Berg also made the front group in the stage Majka won. Which was already really impressive.

I'm wondering why he hasn't been selected for the Worlds, we have a team of mostly bums apart from the three leaders, so it's not like he's not good enough.

What happened? All I got - from the live update on Feltet.dk - is that Van Wilder, Martinez, and Vendrame crashed. No explanation of how it happened.

 

[Landeirovic]

Is there a km rule?

What the FDJ did was moronic and uncalled for though.

Cort in Córdoba, Vuelta 2021?

I don't think I watched that one.

But now that you reminded me I remember that I havd watched this one:

La Vuelta ciclista a España 2020 Stage 16 results

Magnus Cort is the winner of La Vuelta ciclista a España 2020 Stage 16, before Primož Roglič and Dion Smith. Primož Roglič was leader in GC.

Jesus,

You can address me as Netserk, Jesus is a bit too much.

Is there a km rule?

yes, everyone involved will get the same time.

Dunbar had the heaviest crash not that he would have been a factor in the ITT.

 

[postmanhat]

Malka and Dunbar also lost a lot of time according to PCS. Were there multiple crashes?

But what did the FDJ rider do?

They were all involved in the crash. They will be put on same time.

But what did the FDJ rider do?

looked like he went around the outside of a slowing rider and swung back in taking out van wilder

Let's be fair. This year's edition has standard number of crashes for a WT race.

Apparently this year they added moto crashes into spectators to make up for the relative lack of crashes in the peloton.

What's wrong with the Tour Down Under?

Paging @Jancouver, could Jancouver please come to the keyboard...

wasn't his fault. He moved up, held his line & the guys next to him came together and took everyone down.

So basically Almeida should wrap this up today, unless Mohoric or Kwiatkowski have a magic day on the bike.
