Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

[Samamba]

Of course we get an Astana rider flying

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surely there's something wrong with Bettiol's timing device. Going like a racehorse!

 

[Netserk]

Grande Bettiol! Vino magic.

 

[Salvarani]

He is a good time trialist, Thibaut.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Astana will catch Picnic before June.

 

[Samamba]

Astana will catch Picnic before June.

That's not a hot take anymore, they are about to catch them next week...

 

[nightowl]

What kind of alternate universe is this TT taking place in?

 

[Brullnux]

Of course we get an Astana rider flying

Even funnier that it's Bettiol, maybe the only Astana rider who has been underperforming

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cofidis are Picnic's main rival

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bettiol with the afterburners or did the weather change a bit? Not watching yet.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Fortunato and Higuita can surprise a bit as well.

 

[tobydawq]

Grande Alberto!

Now, he has to hope for rain, otherwise I still think Remco will easily beat him.

 

[Netserk]

Fortunato may even end on the podium?

 

[Samamba]

Fortunato about to top 10 this TT btw

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Migels saying this will make Küng happier, when it just makes his performance look worse

 

[Tim Cahill]

I hope Christian Scaroni has been on the tt bike, I want him to go for GC.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I hope Christian Scaroni has been on the tt bike, I want him to go for GC.

As long as he wins 3 stages Sella style it's all good.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

TV director is probably in the Chris Juul-Jensen fan club that probably exists somewhere.

 

[Samamba]

Astan a 1st and Arkea 2nd and 3rd in a WT TT for now... yeah ok

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The Arkea boys are suprising quite a bit

 

[memyselfandI]

HTF is Cox these days so clueless all the time..

Wild guess, Kung out of top10 at the end of the day.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yet Brian Holm's analysis was that he is a young rider who went too fast in the beginning.

Well obviously he would have gone even faster in the last section!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Fortunato about to top 10 this TT btw

I don't expect that, but he could very well surprise. How often has he done a TT where he actually tried, in the past? He is riding for a GC in a WT race. Just like Kuss 2 years ago in the Vuelta suddenly beating decent TT'ers.

 

[Salvarani]

Exactly how did Bettiol do this?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Exactly how did Bettiol do this?

He rode very fast throughout most of the course.
