Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[Devil's Elbow]

Hearing Nys pronounced like the French city makes me want to rip my ears off, it's not like it's an obscure surname in this sport...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf I didn't even know the dawg was riding!

The two time winner is #strivingfor3

 

[Faserr]

Osborne not the faster rower

 

[Samamba]

Adam Yates not that good, worse than Bardet.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ayuso's time looks better and better the more GC riders finish. If that's a predictor of his form in the mountains, he is going to be hard to stop.

 

[Samamba]

Well rip Costa

 

[Didinho]

Fastest bike change in TT history?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Costa breaks the record for fastest injury incurred in a stage race. That looked painful.

 

[tobydawq]

What the hell happened there?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Froome can beat Costa now.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm not an expert on the field, but I don't think bikes are supposed to do that...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Haha, Froome bad, hhhhhhhaa, hehe, so funnnnyyyyyy!!!!!

 

[tobydawq]

Froome beat four riders.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I hear the sound of Cube sales crashing.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Before the stage I would say top 30 for Fausto it's very good. Still in the 11th with 50 riders to go.

Ayuso's time looks better and better the more GC riders finish. If that's a predictor of his form in the mountains, he is going to be hard to stop.

We can't make conclusions from today's result according to him.
I just posted this in his thread.

 

[Samamba]

Costa OTL?

 

[Didinho]

Oliveira OTL?

 

[Faserr]

Over 4min is a lot

 

[Netserk]

Rui Costa would have had a better time in the GC if he didn't finish the stage.

 

[search]

Costa OTL?

normally there's no time limit in a prologue. Riders don't even need to finish, at least.

 

[tobydawq]

Costa OTL?

Apparently, there is no time limit on a prologue. So the Danish commentators say. I'm not sure, I haven't looked it up.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Costa OTL?

I don‘t think there‘s a time limit in prologues. At least a rider who is not able to complete the prologue due to accident is permitted to start the next day.

 

[RedheadDane]

Oliveira OTL?

Far from it.

According to the Danish commentators, there's no time cut in a prologue - don't ask why - so Costa shouldn't be in danger either. But his leg might be hurt...

 

[Red Rick]

Ayuso was really good in the prologue last year as well.

Good that he's back.
