Tour des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var 2022 (February 18-20)

[Red Rick]

Quintana, February farmer

 

[Netserk]

Well paced, Wellens.

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens has not given up. Could still catch up with Quintana

 

[Samamba]

Well paced, Wellens.

He's surprising me.
Looks to be back to his 2018-2019 weight and climbing form. Good choice.

 

[Samamba]

Martin a bit dissapointing to me

 

[Volderke]

Wellens. Too much power in those O-legs!

 

[Samamba]

I think Quintana is going to hold on but Wellens is impressive.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Poor nairoman, the one guy he didn’t want hunting him down

 

[Salvarani]

I think he will get back

 

[Samamba]

Quintana paced himself a bit too. He's keeping the gap right now.

 

[Red Rick]

Races the team wants Quintana to ride, but not the Giro

 

[Netserk]

I think Quintana is going to hold on but Wellens is impressive.

But it’s not clear to me who of them will be able to gain time tomorrow.

 

[Samamba]

He's coming closer...

 

[Stringer Bell]

This will be the most one sided sprint in a long time

 

[Volderke]

This is why I love bike racing.

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens wins!

 

[Samamba]

Strongest Wellens I've seen in a long while, definitely climbing wise. Impressed!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Not the biggest Wellens fan, but that was some nice racing.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wellens wins!

 

[Salvarani]

?

 

[Lequack]

Wellens now the favorite to win the Tour de France.

Entertaining stage. There's a pattern with Quintana attacking early on climbs in those smaller stage races early in the season. Hopefully he'll continue to do the same also later in the season in bigger races. I'm curious to see him on Turini in P-N against a stronger climbing field.

Today's attack could be miss-leading because he needed to attack in the steep section. He knew it and Tim knew it as well. After that was a catch up race that was won by Tim Wellens. Quintana really didn't have any choice but to go early.

At least a favorite for Strade!
