Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[DNP-Old]

It's not even a technical descent...

Uijtdebroeks getting out-TTd by Martinez, the next Evenepoel he is not.

Only idiots (read: Wielerflits) thought he was.

Good way to increase weather differences between riders.

This is the done thing in every TT ever that isn't a prologue...

 

[Red Rick]

I don't understand how you can spend years and years going for GCs and still be as horrible at TTs as Woods is.

Meanwhile Martinez does probably the best TT I've seen anyone in his weight class do since that mythical Pozzovivo Vuelta TT a decade ago, at age 19.

Bad setup. And he climbs out of the saddle 90% of the time so I presume he's just not great seated and especially in an aero position

Bjerg crying about a descent in a TT.

*complaining

I think it's unnecessary because the only previous GC stage was...... a prologue.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Elissonde did the kind of TT you'd expect from someone of his or Martinez' size.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

everytime a Belgian win a junior race under any circumstances the Belgian fans start generating hype about this new merckz . Remco was the only time they were correct

Have to say I really like this course.

Mikkel Bjerg and his beautiful wife want to know your location.

Mikkel Bjerg and his beautiful wife want to know your location.

Somewhere between his hometown and the Romandie.

I am watching without sound, what exactly did he say - that he doesn't want to do descending because he's got a beautiful wife at home?

Emma's been making comments about the route?

That was the gist of it, yes.

 

[Samamba]

Barta 1st

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's becoming fashionable to complain about having to descend

Andy Schleck did it once and is still remembered for it

 

[Potomac]

Barta....yikes

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hopefully for Barta it starts throwing it down

 

[Red Rick]

Where did Gloag finish?

 

[Samamba]

Where did Gloag finish?

26th, bad.

 

[Samamba]

Herald Tejada 3rd at t1... Weird TT

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where did Gloag finish?

Exactly a minute down on Barta, so not that great to say the least.

Better TT for Bernal than Froome ever did post-injury, if nothing else.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Where did Gloag finish?

26th a minute down

Riders losing a lot of time in the descent!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Herald Tejada 3rd at t1... Weird TT

He did look better yesterday than I can remember seeing him.

 

[Samamba]

Jep descent is doing a lot of damage.

Big names not going to be taking risks I think.

Mader 1st at T1 but don't see him taking the same risks as Barta.

 

[Escarabajo]

Herald Tejada 3rd at t1... Weird TT

He comes from the TT discipline. And he looks fit for this race. Maybe good for the Giro.
