Tour of the Alps 2022 (April 18-22)

Any of these Frenchmen will ride the Giro?

Bardet will. He said in an ITW that the team found this year the most suiting training style for him. He can podium the Giro.

Where was Landa fro helping Pello

 

[SafeBet]

Decent day for French cycling.

 

[Bolder]

This is going to be France's REAL Tour de France this year. Great stage!

Classy gesture from Bardet as he crossed the line, too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What a strange team DSM are

 

[JosefK]

Chapeau, Bardet.

 

[Eclipse]

Brilliant ride from Bardet, really strong and engaged.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

BarDSM crushed Bilbao. The second puncture might have helped a bit.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So it will be a one-two for DSM? Said it before, but as much as I dislike them they do have a habit of rising from the ashes when people are writing them off.

One and three in the end, good to see Storer up there for the first time this year too.

I wish someone would gag Rob Hatch ...

Not what you meant but I just got a horrible image.

Oh nonononono

 

[Ricco']

Of the 26.3 TT km of the Giro, 6.2 will be uphill and 4.5 downhill, so it will be very nice to Bardet.

 

[Rollthedice]

It's much clearer now, Bardet wins the Giro, Tibo Le Tour, Roglic obviously the Vuelta.

 

[Carols]

Pinot Does it!!!! 1007 days later he WINS! Chapeau Sir!

 

[Escarabajo]

I guess we kind of new the outcome. The race was just training for a lot of riders. Including Lopez. He looks ready for the Giro. Hope Landa just took it easy. However, it wasn't good that he couldn't help his teammate win this race. Maybe the cold and rain ruin the plans of several riders.

Landa said earlier this week that the transition back to racing had not been good but there are still over 2 weeks until Etna to get things right.

Astana, FDJ, and DSM all doubling their win-tallys in the last two days.

Good for him. He has to be good in the second and third week of the Giro. Not now. He was wearing so many layers of clothes at the finish haha.

What transition? he has been on the bike for a while now.

 

[Pinot's goat]

What transition? he has been on the bike for a while now.

Sometimes riders do not get the level from training immediately in races. He is now on the start list for LBL probably to get some extra racing in.

 

[Escarabajo]

Why did Porte stopped on the last climb? he looked good and all of a sudden started to look back and slowed down? I thought that was bad tactics. Now if he got tired and had to slow down makes it even worse. LOL.

Lenny Martinez finished 14th in GC.
Cian Uijtdebroeks 16th.

Both born in 2003.

 

[HelloDolly]

if DSM only held on to riders they would have a great team with Storer and Kamna ,
