Tour de Romandie 2022 (April 26 - May 1)

[Samamba]

Looks like a few of them got some time again.

Yeah bit weird. They had 4 min before the first climb. Then it went to 2'30 on that climb, went up to 3' again, next climb Bahrain upped the pace in the bunch and the gap shrinked to 50". Now the bunch suddenly gave them 3 minutes again.

The 2 best placed riders are dropped from the front group tho.

Makes good sense when the goal is to ride the climbs at a pace that will hurt Dennis?

The first 2 climbs made sense, but then they lost 2 minutes again on the 3rd climb.

 

[Samamba]

If Izagirre has his Itzulia legs, he might have a chance here.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Dennis has an accent that sounds almost German to me.

I think what happened was that the other teams (I take that to mean Bahrain) saved their doms for the last ascent and Jumbo was happy to let the break get a decent gap.

But I think it's weird that Jumbo didn't let the break get a larger gap.

 

[RedheadDane]

Weather getting a bit funky now. Good thing they're going uphill for the rest of the stage.

 

[Mayomaniac]

And now we have typical Romandie weather.

 

[SafeBet]

Knox in decent shape for the first time in months.

 

[tobydawq]

Froome is well-positioned.

 

[Remy55]

Boring

 

[Mayomaniac]

I don't mind Nico Roche as a commentator, he isn't bad.

 

[Samamba]

Man this is boring.

 

[Savant12]

Froome is well-positioned.

Call me surprised.

 

[Potomac]

Jesus, I could have been mowing my lawn but I chose to watch this snooze fest instead.

 

[Netserk]

What on earth did y’a expect?! The battle starts now.

What on earth did y’a expect?! The battle starts now.

Francesco de Bonis has given us unreasonable expectations for Zinal.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Hair tuft ineffective for Teuns

 

[Red Rick]

Sepp Kuss setting the tempo.


It is that day of the decade again

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Froome is well-positioned.

 

[SafeBet]

Is G bluffing or what?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Luke Plapp should've tried in that TT

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This is where we wish we had Masnada, to put a beast attack in and make the race

 

[Mayomaniac]

A least from someone like Pinot who is already 2min behind I expected an attack...

 

[gunara]

That's as well positioned as it gets
