Tour de Romandie, April 29th - May 4th

[noob]

Anyone else agree this place looks cosy?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Hold on; Movistar bringing both Romo and Remeo?
Are they allowed to do that?

Yes, but they are not allowed to sign Juliet as well as Romeo due to 16th century familiar feuds.

 

[RedheadDane]

I can only handle one Oliveira at a time.

One of them needs to change their name.

Would be a bit awkward if it was one of the twins... I don't suppose guys changing their names - or anyone changing their name - upon marriage is common in Portugal

But they've kept Moro at home.

Well... he is injured.
They've also kept Rubio at home.


Thomas on his way to the finish.
Next comes Thompson.
And then Thalmann.

 

[Berniece]

If Eenkhoorn (Soudal) finished 4 seconds behind, Remco should beat that time.
Vine took the corners very slowly but made up for it with power.

I think Evenepoel is also going to be taking the corners very slowly. His director said the most important part is to stay upright, and his teammate said the descent is a bit dangerous with difficult corners.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

I almost forgot Carlos Rodriguez existed. Just looked his stats up, he only did UAE Tour this season and nothing until LBL. What was the reason for that?

 

[noob]

Who decided starting orders in this race?

I deleted the message; he wasn't even 4 seconds away. I checked the time wrong.

You quoted too quickly

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel will hit the brakes on purpose today as to give Ivo Oliveira his moment.

Who decided starting orders in this race?

Teams

 

[Potomac]

How about Matinez' and Rodriguez' then

that's completely different.

No one is expected to know the difference with those names anyway.
Like smith or jones

He broke his collarbone in a crash at the UAE Tour.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Surely remco will manage to do 4km riding alone without sliding out on an easy corner this time

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Remco warming up with some tampons up his nose and a cold sore - this could go either way.

 

[noob]

Have there been a lot if transfers 24-25? Half if the riders seems to be in the wrong team for my brain 🧠 🤔

Bad collarbone fracture, so it took a long time to heal.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Surely remco will manage to do 4km riding alone without sliding out on an easy corner this time

Or maybe he'll only ride the first km and then give up because his teammates have failed to position him properly.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

He broke his collarbone in a crash at the UAE Tour.

Same crash that took out ineos star signing Victor langlotti and handed the win on a plate to pocagar

 

[Netserk]

Who decided starting orders in this race?

Organiser the order of teams, teams the order of riders within the team.

 

[tobydawq]

Cosnefroy will open his season in 25 minutes.

 

[noob]

Here he is

 

[Tricycle Rider]

And there goes Remco! (Clean shaven.)

 

[Peyroteo94]

Jesus Christ. Remco looks like a bulldog sprinting like that

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No white pants

 

[Andre]

Go Remco Go!

 

[tobydawq]

Rainbow jersey and golden helmet and bike, damn.
