Tour of the Alps 2024 (April 15 - 19)

Any rumours where Pellizzari will race next year? He's a really good talent.

2nd time up the Weerberg...

I don't like this climb...not on the bike, nor running (there's a run up Weerberg, as well as a trailrun in the woods around Weerber/Pillberg)

BORA could be a good team for him, hopefully Ciro's information will be confirmed.

Looking very promising for these two, chase is a bit dead

 

[Earns1985]

For whom is Ineos riding exactly?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

interesting by Foss?!?!?!?

not sure they know themselves...

Foss, Thomas is here for training

Refreshing to see a Norwegian taking some initiative in a climb. Too often the Uno-X riders disappear when the tempo goes up or at least they drop to the end of the peloton.

Can anyone else see Geraint?
I miss him.
He's the only reason I'm watching this race.
Top bloke, good mate

 

[Tim Cahill]

Very little respite between the climbs and the weather, really hard stage

I've had to change to Spanish, I don't understand a word these lads are saying but it's better than Blythe waffling on about Thomas

Now that mate G isn't getting the screentime he deserves I've turned the commentary off and am instead listening to Watts Occurring while I watch repeats of the 2018 TDF on my other monitor.

 

[Peyroteo94]

With this weather, Pogi could win with a 10 seconds advantage

You just know they're lining up a media career for him too, despite it being clear he doesn't watch any cycling or know any of the riders. Rowe would be better, despite being a bit of a n*b he at least knows a bit.

 

[Rob5091]

It looks like Foss has dropped G, Chapeau!

 

[Alien Performance]

Foss continues to pull at the front
'he's been up at altitude with Geraint Thomas'

beyond parody at this stage

 

[Tim Cahill]

Well to be fair to Foss, despite me calling him a useless lump of *** at the UAE Tour he actually looks quite good

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Juanpe is thermonuclear, though

 

[Alien Performance]

Mou is to Pogacar as Blythe and Hatch are to the great bloke G

They'd probably get banned if they were on the forum

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Well to be fair to Foss, despite me calling him a useless lump of *** at the UAE Tour he actually looks quite good

I think he will lose a lot of time tomorrow

 

[Salvarani]

Foss pulled the peloton by himself for the final 15km or something and won the sprint for 3rd.

Weird that Decathlon didnt do any work with three guys in the main group. Two days ago they did a lot work and now they let Lopez win some time that could be decisive for the general classification.

Not even a single guy sprinting for third place and four seconds is weird also.

 

[Rob5091]

Chapeau Lopez & Trek - first ever WT win . Good training for the Giro.

 

[Tim Cahill]

O'Connor, VPP and APP all finishing in the bunch, haven't seen them all day, shameless stuff
