Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

[Potomac]

The Race of the Dogs that didn't Bark.

I would ask the same thing about Ivo Oliveira

But Oliveira is at least riding for the team on course for the wins record and just won twice recently…

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Did Watson kill someone and I missed it or why do so many people hate to see him win?

I don't get it either.

You are confusing surprise with hate.

Christen hasn't done any tt work this year but he's in great form and it's not reall conventional, very technical/punchy which would usually suit him.

In Zurich, he did the first section better than Romeo (the most technical section).
Before the stage, I had him among the favorites because it's a very technical and short prologue. He wouldn't have a chance in a longer ITT.

Still, there was more negativity than positivity, although I guess that‘s just UAE fans and Portuguese people.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is not over. Langlotti still has to do his prologue

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Wow, Swiss commentator knew how to pronounce Josef Cerny properly, maybe I'll start to appreciate SRF again.

 

[noob]

Those soft spoken UAE riders

 

[Mayomaniac]

Tejada in the provisional stage top 20, less than half a sec slower than Bettiol. I predict great things on the MTF!

I ask again; why is Remco in this race?

To win a prestigious WT win in a season he could only begin ten days ago?

The question should be, why is Vingegaard not in this race?

With all due respect, but in Abruzzo.
In a major races, he doesn't usually win.

They're good riders who sacrifice to be domestiques; it's also fair that they get their compensation without receiving hate.

They are super pro-Swiss in every sport, but they are actually competent.

Heartbreak for Thibaut

Isn't he retired?!

 

[Salvarani]

Isn't he retired?!

Farmer

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Isn't he retired?!

Not Guernalec, who I would have liked to see win. I did forget the l in his name though.

So it's a training ride

Tejada better than G.
I'm still looking for what position he ended up in

 

[Salvarani]

Lets go Jan!

 

[noob]

Farmer

Is there a Thibaut goat farmer and a Thibaut Farmer?!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Christen now (with a 5 o'clock shadow, but best eyelashes in the peloton)

 

[Didinho]

Christen starting furiously.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Every time I see Cerny's name I'm reminded of that poster who appeared from nowhere in the 2020 Giro and was completely insistent that he was going to win a 200k+ flat stage on the morning of it, and that he'd put some money on, even though he must've been about 500/1 and there was absolutely no prior indication. Anyway if my memory serves, the stage got cut in half because of some freak hurricane, the break got about 20 minutes and Cerny managed to get away. I like to think he's off on his own private island somewhere after taking the bookmakers for millions.

 

[RedheadDane]

Best Monegasque rider of the race just started.








(Okay, he's the only Monegasque rider)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dillier needs a 168km TT to be a factor....
