Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[Devil's Elbow]

Has the wind picked up or something? Disappointing times all over the place the past 25 or so finishers. Suter the lone exception.

Let's see what Yates does, he should be good.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The guys that rode LBL don't seem to have fully recovered yet.

 

[Samamba]

Ok Yates also not good, wind might have picked up indeed

 

[Mayomaniac]

Vauquelin worse than expected.

Izagirre really bad too. Lots of Liege riders performing pretty bad it seems. Not that surprising.

Only Sobrero manages to still do rather well.
That said, I'm surprised Lutsenko is even starting after his DNF in Liege.

 

[Samamba]

Waiting for the Llmaestro post as Masnada is actually winning time on almost everyone lmao

Lutsenko's schedule is just ridiculous. Like Sicilia then Amstel day after is already stupid, but they let him ride Fleche, Liege and Romandie lol.

Sobrero said he was expecting better and was still feeling Liège in the legs too, though.

 

[Samamba]

Looks like the early starters (DSM started early with their 3 climbers for example) were right after all.

 

[Tim Cahill]

QS riders coming down from altitude are flying

 

[Netserk]

Will Price-Pejtersen never step up?

Sobrero rode Paris-Nice, MSR, GP Indurain, Itzulia, the Ardennes Triple and now Romandie before apparently riding the Giro...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Sobrero said he was expecting better and was still feeling Liège in the legs too, though.

Is he really riding the Giro afterwards? Because for someone who is supposed to ride the Giro his schedule is just nuts.

The U23 TT world title has been a predictor of a mediocre to failed pro career for a long time. I'm not even underwhelmed, it's kind of what I've come to expect at this point.

 

[Samamba]

Cavagna might be first...

Expected ranking is first

EDIT: now Foss with expected ranking first

 

[Tim Cahill]

Such a shame that those ugly helmets look to also be really fast

 

[Samamba]

Cerny holds on!

 

[Lequack]

Lafavere will have an anger free day today.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Looks like Foss lost it in the bend.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's a finish befitting of a prologue.

 

[Red Rick]

World Champ not winning in this field is just yikes.

 

[Samamba]

Lovely these races without superstars that would be 20 seconds ahaed.

 

[RedheadDane]

QS boys: 1-2!
Foss: You were saying?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Looks like Foss lost it in the bend.

Which is ironic given that he won his world title in a TT jam-packed with them.

 

[Red Rick]

Uijtdebroecks has the TT position of a sail.
