Tour of the Alps 2022 (April 18-22)

[Rollthedice]

LOL at Cyclingnews. Don't tell me they haven't turned into a news site hunting for cheap intrigue and stories:

The bad boy Lopez denies the loving and charismatic Pinot the stage!!!

First of all cyclingnews is charging money lately to read it. Then Lopez is some sort of a "bad boy", we can't deny it. Pinot, on the other hand is a likeable character who seems to have an endless run of disappointments. He broke into tears after the race.

I believe another type of tears will come again.
Those of joy.

Huh!. I didn't know that.

Would have been his first win in almost three years.
Besides, that's how he is; seems he takes basically everything to heart.

"[Rider X] Denies [Rider Y] The Win" is definitely a frequently used formula.

I dislike that 'style' of headline. I prefer 'rider X takes the win over rider Y'. or rider X outkicks rider Y'. Focus on the winner.

 

[tobydawq]

At least the headline wasn't "Victory stolen from Pinot by some Latin guy".

 

[Cagalitroso]

Oh yeah, in terms of consistent results in stage races and gts MAL is in another league.

On top of that OP is Colombian, you will first see a British guy cheering for a Frenchman or hell freezing over than a Colombian saying something good about a Venezuelan.

Watch an England France rugby game with a Welshman and a Scot and you'll see British people cheering Frenchmen.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Forecast looks quite damp today

 

[Jagartrott]

Hopefully not resulting in a damp squib then.

[Netserk]

The stage today is fine, but it would have been great if they did the circuits in the other order.

 

[Netserk]

Pinot is some Latin guy.

 

[tobydawq]

Pinot is some Latin guy.

So he stole it from himself?

 

[MrTea1976]

Pinot is some Latin guy.

Since when? He's from (north) eastern France.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

If Procyclingstats live ticker is correct, they covered 26.1 km in the first 30 minutes of racing.

...and now there's a three group split in the peoton.
And no live coverage for another hour.

 

[ppanther92]

Yes, ticker reads interesting. 3 groups with 20/30/50 riders.

 

[Netserk]

Since when? He's from (north) eastern France.

Yes, exactly.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

No GC threats among the first 20. Pinot, Kämna and Amador in there.
EF, AG2R and Bahrain not represented.

 

[Black Betsy]

Man, Pello and MAL wins, wake me for the next season plz!

 

[tobydawq]

Since when? He's from (north) eastern France.

French is a Latin language, I think that was what he meant.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Don't want to get people excited, but Pinot is in paper the strongest guy in the break

 

[Red Rick]

Don't want to get people excited, but Pinot is in paper the strongest guy in the break

You're doing a bad job

I'm excited

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Has Chavez attacked the leader's jersey?
Procyclingstats have to be wrong, they list him as being 32 years old already?

 

[ppanther92]

Kämna?
