Tour of Slovenia 2023, June 14 - June 18

[Lequack]

Todays stage

Break is formed:

 

[DNP-Old]

What a disaster.

 

[Faserr]

Schelling wins.

 

[glassmoon]

looks like the riders just got the news about Gino...

 

[yaco]

Groenewegen should have followed his lead out rider Mezgec - After all, Luka knows every blade of grass in Slovenia.

 

[Rob5091]

Chapeau Schelling but what a mess up at the roundabout ... mind you to expect a peloton at full speed to go through a narrow left hand bend at the roundabout was crazy and dangerous.

For me, it's crazy that only few riders knew where they were going. This happened inside the last kilometre.

 

[RedheadDane]

God... Schelling's interview...

Yes, there was nothing particularly dangerous about that roundabout, till they followed Zanna the wrong way. Even Schelling said he only went left by chance. Poor team management all round.

Tomorrow

They are climbing this, twice

The organisers should have blocked off the right side of the roundabout - An easy solution.

Exactly! How hard is it to be up a bit of tape or cones or have a moto guy with a flag there.
Stage 4 today, and I don't think I'll be putting any money on Groenewegen winning. Zana or Poels maybe.

Poels winning would be a nice touch.

I think it was the best call to probably not tell them during the race, it still hurts though.

At the top of the Kolovrat climb, in memory of Gino

 

[Monte Serra]

I wonder how the descent of the Kolovrat will be raced. It seems fairly technical.

[QueenStagiaire]

Simon Pellaud just attacked but it seemed like he just attacked for Gino.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Crash on the downhill, nothing dramatic, though

 

[KZD]

Double alone with Zana on the last climb.

 

[yaco]

A strange stage - Double riding above his level - DePena of Jayco who has done nothing in 18mths rode at the front for the first three days, split the group on the final climb and is still in the chase group.

 

[search]

the gap is under half a minute to G3, so this could actually still come back together.

Badilatti isn't a good descender, though. No idea about Pena or Double

 

[Samamba]

"above his level", it probably just says something about the level here in general.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Paul Double in the mix and Carlton Kirby is commentating on some backyard French race, heads must roll at GCN surely.

 

[KZD]

Zana crashing and catched by Fortunato and Ulissi, Peña might get the biggest win of his career.

 

[Netserk]

Ulissi winning on a descent? I've seen everything.
