Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[Salvarani]

What is happening? lol

 

[Salvarani]

Chasers has gone the completely wrong way

 

[JosefK]

Surrealism shows up.

 

[DNP-Old]

Did Jumbo just sprint for 0 seconds?

Yes, Foss is new Kooij confirmed

Rabo-fun

 

[Didinho]

Just checked in, who are the fast guys in this group? I see Vernon and Hayter. Menten?

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Hayter grabs every opportunity he can get to ride in the back, so I wouldn't read too much into it yet.

In the pre-stage interview Cort said that he has no real expectations for today, but that may have changed of course. Or they just have a lot of belief in Quinn

Repeatedly I read Hayter prefers to ride at the back of the peloton. Makes him likeable (see Pantani or Moncoutie), but is a huge surprise - and something which might be a real problem for a winner like himself… I hope it won‘t cost him victories…

Is that Masnada working? How dare they?

It already has, countless times. I recommend watching stage 1 of the Tour of Norway last year.

 

[DNP-Old]

Thibau is there.

 

[Didinho]

Thibau is there.

Was not happy but still strong effort!

 

[Samamba]

Did Bardet just become 3rd in a bunch sprint?

 

[Salvarani]

Nys 2nd, nice!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where on earth was Hayter after all that work? No contest for Vernon, good to see Nys getting going though.

 

[DNP-Old]

Thibau had a mechanical I think.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Did Bardet just become 3rd in a bunch sprint?

Think Menten barely held him off?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Nothing says 'deep sprint field' like Bardet mixing it up in 4th

 

[Didinho]

Thibau had a mechanical I think.

Looks like a bigger gear for the sprint, was dead at the end.

 

[search]

honorable 39th for Hayter. Cort 24th. All that work for nothing

 

[HelloDolly]

More bad language from the Scandinavians .

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Of course the Rabofail happens when the team leader is riding in orange. Laughing pretty hard at that interview.

 

[Samamba]

Yeha 4Th but still ... how. I know lots of fast guys were dropped, but looked like the others were all without energy apart from Vernon and Nys.

Foot slipped out of pedal so he couldn't sprint. Better question where was Cort after all the work from EF...

 

[yaco]

Jakobsen will be out of a job if Vernon continues to improve.
