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

[Faserr]

Red pulling in G2 allows Lipo to sprint in G1

 

[SHAD0W93]

Seixas on Itzulia stage 2 where he rolled the Peloton over.

Go back and read what was said.

 

[Netserk]

makes totally sense to me. This day is not really of importance for GC anyway, and Red Bull is in a better position for the stage win with 3 guys in front instead of Lipo alone. Especially with him pulling.

yes

lipo should only pull if martinez was behind

 

[Brullnux]

Lipowitz could have an extra minute and eliminate his rivals, I enjoy the drama but you have to question the wisdom here

I suppose they saw enough in the climb that they're actually going for the win? I agree that if the focus was podium they've played this terribly.

But, it's hard to know what their aims are.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

German ES not happy at all with Lipo sprinting "for the win".

 

[Pozzovivo]

Romandie can be really close. Maybe Pogacar takes it on bonus seconds but Lenny may drop everyone on stage 4

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He was absolutely rinsed from the chase so just tried something for the same of it. 4th was all he was every going to get.

But he should have attacked slightly earlier, though it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

 

[MariaB]

Pogi was not happy with Lipowitz not pulling.

The german is now in his black list.

He is not dropping Pogacar.

Most insecure cyclist of all time

 

[Monsi]

Pogi saying in the interview that it was headwind in the last 22 km and it would be "stupid" to do something ridiculous.

Who cares

If you never annoy the pre race favorite you are doing something wrong

 

[Sciatic]

Kinda funny comment: "I was glad to have two young, eager guys with me to help pull"

 

[Rou]

Pogi saying in the interview that it was headwind in the last 22 km and it would be "stupid" to do something ridiculous.

Yes, yes. He took that one from the Remco book.
Just say you weren't strong enough to drop the competitors.

 

[MariaB]

Who cares

He should care.

You don't want to be in his black list.

Look at what happened with Jorgenson.

 

[Salvarani]

There was also long stretches of straight road here.

Pretty smart to ride in this group. Sprint for the win on this stage.

It pretty clear to me, that the boys in the red bull car doesn't either.....

 

[Faserr]

But Gianetti will congratulate you even more then Pog at the finish.

 

[Brullnux]

I sort of forgot that Tiberi was in Group 2. He climbed quite well so that's a nice card for Bahrain too

Of course it was. But there are some drama queens here that love to annoy everyone.

 

[Heston]

Nothing happened to Jorgenson except Vauquelin crashing into him

Do you remember Isola 2000?

Because I do.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Yes, they seem to think he is obliged to gift his opponent Martinez time on GC either by pulling or not sprinting. I hate how much choosing tactics to optimise for a result (Finishing 2nd) is frowned upon in cycling

 

[Sciatic]

Yes, yes. He took that one from the Remco book.
Just say you weren't strong enough to drop the competitors.

I thought it was a back-handed way of criticizing wheelsuckers past and present

 

[Pozzovivo]

Looked very comfortable today. Probably on the same level.
