Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

[Tim Cahill]

The dropped riders seem to be making it back, it should depend on how the Chaumont is ridden.

 

[Netserk]

QS leading the peloton, so Evenepoel will attack on the climb.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lots of Jumbots in the group so assume Brennan made it but QS look like they are keen on a high pace so I expect him to get dropped.

Entire team were in line over the finish-line (McLay abandoned).

 

[Red Rick]

Chaumont is too telegraphed Evenepoel should just attack before that one.

 

[Netserk]

Watson and Brennan dropped now.

 

[Berniece]

QS leading the peloton, so Evenepoel will attack on the climb.

And do such a long solo? Is he already feeling that he won't be able to follow on Thyon 2000 so wants to take some time?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Brennan looks like a pure sprinter

 

[Netserk]

I hope V$ne can follow Evenepoel on the climb. Today is the chance for him to win the race.

 

[Didinho]

Think they’re just making it hard to give Casper Pedersen a chance in the sprint. Unless he is also dropped, just checked in.

There are no other options in this race. It's Thyon 2000 and the TT. If he loses time on Thyon 2000, chances are he won't make up for it in the TT. So if he wants an extra buffer, this is his only chance. It's less than 50km from the finish and a large part of that is downhill.

 

[Samamba]

They didn't go hard at all

 

[Tim Cahill]

Thyon 2000 is a big Almeida climb, he can't do his usual gimmick of dropping and pacing back later on this one because with 30k of flat if he lets him go he might never see Evenepoel again.

QS slower than a grandma on that climb

tomorrow is an uphill finish

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

tomorrow is an uphill finish

2km at less than 6%. The point is if he wants to build a buffer for Thyon 2000, today is his only chance. Not about winning a stage.

He was dropped just before Brennan was.

 

[Andre]

Van Eetvelt sounds very German

 

[Peyroteo94]

If Remco is afraid of Almeida in a MTF, WTH will he do to the Tour?
He went to altitude so his climbing must be better than other years.

 

[Sciatic]

Yikes, that church abutment is not in a good spot

 

[Andre]

Soudal looks good

Yeah, because May form (or weight) is the same as July form. Especially 2 weeks after you started the season.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quicksteps riding doesn't make any sense without an attack

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Grossschartner was also dropped apparently.

Oh no, not Remco's weight again 😆
