Tour de Romandie 2023, April 25-30

[Red Rick]

Interviewer seriously asked Gesink about a bike change on this parcours

 

[dercuforever]

Higuita, Dainese and Markl DNS.
Brenner said the DSM stopped to recover before el Giro. French broadcast took it as indication that DSM do not believe in Bardet for the GC.

 

[Red Rick]

Top 10 also starts 1 minute apart?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Top 10 also starts 1 minute apart?

Top 20 starts 2 minutes apart.

2 minutes after PETERS Nans.

 

[dercuforever]

4th time by Martinez, interesting, still some climbing left.

 

[Red Rick]

Top 20 starts 2 minutes apart.

Good way to increase weather differences between riders.

 

[Samamba]

Lenny Martinez 5th at T1, wow better than expected.

 

[Didinho]

Bjerg with a good recon lap for Ayuso.

 

[BR2]

Camera tries to give a lot of riders airtime, but I would prefer them to focus a bit more on the ones that can get a good result.

 

[Samamba]

Holy *** Martinez with a godlike TT. 3rd at finish. That's impressive. I know it's a hilly one but still, this is surprisingly strong.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

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.

 

[Escarabajo]

Higuita, Dainese and Markl DNS.
Brenner said the DSM stopped to recover before el Giro. French broadcast took it as indication that DSM do not believe in Bardet for the GC.

That is strange, because someone took his bike on the parcours!! LOL

 

[BR2]

wow, that's a really good result for Martinez

 

[Red Rick]

My assumption Lenny Martinez would be a terrible TTer has been sadly mistaken

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pinot also going very well.

 

[Samamba]

It might be more for climbers than I thought honestly.

Majka 4th at T1.

 

[Red Rick]

Bjerg actually lost time to the mini climbers on the downhill section

 

[Samamba]

The interview from Bjerg lmao

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bjerg wants to make downhills illegal or what? What was that interview?

 

[Potomac]

A beautiful wife at home makes you go faster?

 

[Red Rick]

Bjerg crying about a descent in a TT.

 

[Samamba]

Is William Barta finally showing his potential? He has been good all week and now 1st at the intermediate.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The interview from Bjerg lmao

It's not even a technical descent...

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

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think it's a bit stupid to have the check point halfway up the climb.
