Tour of the Alps 2022 (April 18-22)

[Jungle Cycle]

And Rangel is in the breakaway!
Not the first Brazillian here, I remember Flavio Cardoso Santos leading the breakaway past my hometown when the Firsanov show happened...

nice memory!! more known as "baiano" around here who was in team Funvic that back then was a
embarrassment..
Vini represents the "new generation" and finally got his season going after documents problems, logistical problems, even with the bio-passport that he didnt have..
he must be really anxious and the Brazilian social media army is already echoing even now back in the peloton..

 

[Tim Cahill]

Giving Bouchard a couple of minutes would be a poor idea.

 

[Poursuivant]

Love this race, very underrated.

 

[Escarabajo]

The landscaping here is unbelievable!!!!

 

[RedheadDane]

1:50 between Bouchard and the peloton.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The good news is that Bouchard having a minute on everyone else forces attacks from further out. You can't rely on taking that much time back on the final climb of the final stage, steep as it is. AG2R have Gall and Champoussin but other teams are definitely stronger, will be hard to control the race for them.

Edit: scratch that, gap is falling very quickly.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Looking touch and go for the win now

 

[Potomac]

Who is this announcing pair?

 

[RedheadDane]

Come on, Bouchard!

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Who is this announcing pair?

Hatch and Blythe

 

[Potomac]

So Blythe is the hoo hoo hooter? Very very annoying

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's the shortest 40 seconds I've ever seen

 

[RedheadDane]

He's losing time fast...

 

[roundabout]

GJ Bouchard

 

[tobydawq]

He's losing time fast...

He lost it too slowly.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hell, yeah!

That got a lot tenser than it seemed at some point.

 

[Poursuivant]

Superb win

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He almost got Tony Martined, would have been very painful for someone with no pro wins aside from all the KOM jerseys he's collected.

 

[tobydawq]

First pro win, nice way to do that.

Bardet the super sprinter beat Albanese in the bunch, what?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hatch and Blythe

They'd annoy the crap out of me, thank god I can watch stuff like this on Danish TV.

 

[SafeBet]

First pro win, nice way to do that.

Bardet the super sprinter beat Albanese in the bunch, what?

Albanese is completing his transition from sprinter to climber.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[SafeBet]

Landismo already lost a few seconds to the other GC guys.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Porte is the favourite for the Giro, dissent will not be tolerated.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

So Blythe is the hoo hoo hooter? Very very annoying

Yes, but if you want to know where the Ineos riders are at any given time, he's your man.
