Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[Samamba]

Vernon isn't in that group. Movistar are being Movistar.

Oh I was assuming it cause Pedersen was jhust sitting there. Why is he not waiting then.

Think QS aren't confident in Vernon making it back and have him as their plan B? Only reason that makes at least some sense.

Vernon was like 10 seconds behind Menten on the climb. Can't be that far off?

 

[Ricco']

Is Nys still in the peloton?

 

[Samamba]

Is Movistar just not dropping Oliveira back cause Jorgensen has no other teammate left or what is this?

Is Nys still in the peloton?

Think so yes

 

[Samamba]

Sprinters won't come back. Trek joining Bahrain, Ineos and EF now.

Impossible for Lotto.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If G3 had a motor in front of it too, they would have made it back by now.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah motors once again deciding a race. How does the UCI not understand this.

2nd peloton is close now tho.

EDIT: almost back. Movistar realized they had to help.

I wonder if the peloton slows down now and Vernon gets saved too.

 

[Lequack]

Can't believe a race is Switzerland will have 3 sprint finishes, 2 ITTs and only one deciding mountain stage.

Sounds like about every other edition of Romandie to me.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

А что тут говорить то?

Google translate says "what is there to say", is that correct?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Soudal saying on Twitter that Vernon has made it back, anyone actually seen him? Don't see that many Soudal jerseys...

Race radio said his group joined the peloton so I'm guessing it's correct yes.

EDIT: don't see him either tho

 

[Tricycle Rider]

6km to go, G1 quickly catching up now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It's a bit sad that this is a close call for the breakaway by 2023 WT standards.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Gaviria!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Insane sprint, goes with 300 metres to go and the rest don't even make it back to his wheel.

 

[Salvarani]

Good little move from Gaviria to start the sprint early

 

[Lequack]

Finally Gavairia succeeds with one of his long-ish attacks.

Well, we all know that's typical Gaviria, but this time it actually worked cause he's just way faster than anyone else here. It was Menten behind him... I mean... Milan Menten.

 

[Tim Cahill]

2023 breakaway watch: 0 wins in WT stage races

Next up the Giro, come on Bardiani/Eolo!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Astana got a top 5 in a WT race! Second time all season I think?

[KZD]

Gaviria was quite smart in starting his sprint before the corner.
