Another world tour stage win for Ayuso. Very nice.

another?

Another world tour stage win for Ayuso. Very nice.

I think its his first ever.

His other win was in Getxo.

Still, looking very good and versatile if he is still far from his best shape he will look scary in the Vuelta.

 

[DNP-Old]

Norwegian Grabsch exactly as expected, I would say.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I know Foss said he had been sick and didn’t have hopes of fighting for GC win before the race started, but this is still disappointing.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Foss beaten by Barta, Oliveira and the husband to a beautiful wife, can't even blame it being a climber's course. As we all already knew when it happened, his world title is a bit of a fluke.

 

[HelloDolly]

Ayuso and Jorgensen look very good

But was hoping for a Bardet win overall ...love if he could win a stager race before he finishes

 

[Didinho]

After his WC title I immediately said he won't win a Protour TT this year. Although he was close in the prologue.

 

[JosefK]

another?

Yeah, my bad. Ayuso is so good already, I just assumed ...

 

[Potomac]

Ayuso is so young too.
Bright future there. Yikes.

That was a big surprise after Ayuso struggled on the final climb in yesterday's stage. Lets see how he performs in the Queen stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

How do you even go about explaining that top 20

 

[Didinho]

My guess is he will be struggling again tomorrow, totally different effort. With Yates (and Fisher-Black) close in GC, they got another chance up the climb.

 

[tobydawq]

LOL. Ayuso can attack the big 6 on the descent now. Something new.

I'm afraid that won't last for long. He looks so good on a bike that some very hot girl will surely snatch him up soon.

 

[Sciatic]

Wife must be 10/10

Should be fun in here during the Giro the 1st time a rider gets dropped on a technical descent, and the folks who weren’t reading this thread are wondering “why all these wife comments?”

That's the reason Remco crashed or lost time downhill a lot.

Masnada's wife could be thinking about divorce and going after Ayuso and will be the end of his career!

There will also be a lot of confusion when Remco is not going too badly on a descent - because we've all seen pictures of his wife.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's the reason Remco crashed or lost time downhill a lot.

But Evenepoel only got married last year and his descending has improved since... I sense an unhappy marriage.

 

[Ricco']

Froome faster than the 2019 ITT Pan-American Champion. Shape is improving.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I'm also looking forward to the next time someone who's disliked on here is on the attack and there are a bunch of people 'cheering' on him to do it for his wife.

 

[Potomac]

So can Jorgenson, at 18" back on GC, find the time on tomorrow's stage?

 

[Wvv]

Haha thank you Bjerg for the new forum meme.

 

[houtdffan]

seems like we have the next alpha superstar on our hands

Maybe we will have Merckx, Hinault, and Coppi in the peloton at the same time
