Tour de Romandie neither one-day nor monument, 28/04-03/05 2026

[Salvarani]

I heard team UAE isn't good.

Again the demise was greatly exaggerated

Taddy won't allow Roglic to win this stage. No way.

Is he really that petty?

 

[No Excuses]

The gap isn't anywhere near big enough here. Pogaraptor is going to gobble them up unceremoniously and that'll be that.

This. 1:30 is nothing

well, that's what I was wondering

 

[Tim Cahill]

Extremely shrewd chess move for Lipowitz to place Roglic ahead in the break to help him later on in the stage.

I think 1:30 can be enough for Paret-Peintre to get over the top with Pogi, but they will probably lose a bit more on this pedalling descent.

Damn, I just never get tired of watching this incredible countryside roll by…

Don’t know that I’d come to that conclusion. Not like he doesn’t chase down breaks and try to win every chance he gets.

 

[Mayomaniac]

According to Swiss TV Claudio Imhof is now a train driver train who actually often works on this line.

I think Romandie's race owners called Gianetti last winter and asked him to bring Pog (maybe both Suisse and Romandie had a word with Gianetti) to get his rider help the Swiss races, Gianetti is Swiss.

Do you reckon Gianetti and Infantino are friends. Both Swiss-Italian. Both bald. Both hate their sports

I might have read something that wasn’t there, but I read that as specific to Roglic. As in he specifically wouldn’t let Roglic to win.

There’s a lot of talk about various blacklists (Jorgenson and so on), which, if true, does reveal a different side of him than the one he very expertly presents. But Roglic would be surprising since they seem to chat amiably and Rog mentored and protected him a little too much in that 2020 Tour in retrospect.

Some day, a 36 year old Pogi will be in the breakaway in the Alps and Paul Seixas will ride him down mercilessly... turning his hopes and dreams to ash... and he will know the debt is paid (okay that's a misquote from Game of Thrones but whatever).

 

[Salvarani]

VPP looks stronger

 

[Salvarani]

And there he goes

pog will be well retired by then

I'm very far from any football info and passion

 

[AmRacer]

UAE goes faster than Rogla

AWP struggling now on this somewhat harder stage

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Beautiful climb.

 

[Rou]

Pedestrian pace. Bahrain should drill it

 

[Tim Cahill]

Swiss climbing conditions are just too nice, if this was a ramp in Basque country there would be groups coming in minutes apart

 

[Mayomaniac]

Swiss TV calling it a surprise that Fat Albert was already dropped...

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

AWP done

Negative rolling resistance...
