Tour of the Alps 2026, April 20-24

Grupetto six minutes over the time limit, take them all out of the race!

It looks like they have actually OTLd them all? Only 63 riders left in the race?

I doubt it. It's probably just PCS listing them according to their knowledge of the time limit. They won't throw Paul Double out of the race.

 

[Rob5091]

Only 63 guys inside the timelimit?! And the two hardest stages are yet to come!
GC standings on PCS shows all the guys who'd OTL.

Not sure what happened to grande Paul this year. He used to be electric. Another rider like fausto, langellotti who loses their ability when I make a thread for them

Then stop making threads for people!

I'm gonna make a pocagar thread and a seixas thread

Too late.
They have threads.

Also, did you just make a threat?

You know very well that it's because his race schedule isn't in sync with Magnier's.

It seems that they were in danger of getting lapped on the short circuit around the bonification sprint (PCS haven't figured out that reason but it's obvious from where they stopped) and were made to wait 15 minutes, so really they should be reinstated without penalty.

You made a Pogi thead in the clinic, maybe it's a reverse-jinx? Since you made it he lost to Wout twice and that's it.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

After a subdued day of racing, perhaps understandable after the deadful crash just after start, another opportunity presents itself, stage 4:

No reason not to use the terrain, guys, because if you don't Pidcock will likely also win this one.

 

[Rob5091]

Pidders was dropped on the first climb on stage 3, so he aint a certainty for stage 4.

[Berniece]

Even though Finn is now gone, I would think RBH is able to control the race until after Passo Redebus. After that Pellizzari/Vlasov should have no problems handling INEOS. Race seems a bit in a lock unless someone not RBH is actually much better

I misspelled Oomen

w and o are notoriously close to each other on the keyboard.

20 years ago, Pozzovivo crashed after 13 km on a stage finishing in Clès in the Giro del Trentino, which resulted in him missing the Giro. Now yesterday there was also an early crash on a stage that went through Clès, but this time he avoided it.

 

[Taxus4a]

I hope Ineos try something today from far. They have 2 options and Bernal is improving. He shopuldnt wait till the end, so I hope battle as today big mountains. Pellizari could hold, but it would be dissapointing if everything happend at last smal climb. If that happend, Pidcock will be again the favourite, But I think he will try to take easy this last 2 stages if he think her has something to do on Sunday.

As well, O connor or Storer could try something. The route this year invite climbers to attack from far.
What amazing landscapes this racs this time of the year.

Good to know there's justice in the world.
I think he has fulfilled his quota of crashes.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Race is on and we have a split peloton with 26 in front group and the race leader in the second group. Still on the first climb, but action bodes well.

Stay away from Capello!

No distance can break the connection between @Ilmaestro99 and misspelling names

It was just an autocorrect I think

Now there is a break and Sean Quinn is virtual leader by 1 minute. Bora has to keep a good pace and eith this route the peloton will be really small at the end.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Last longer climb of the day, Jasch has attacked at the bottom with Kepplinger in the wheel

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sean Quinn is done, so Red Bull don‘t need to chase hard

 

[YavorD]

The weather is rarely so clear and sunny in TotA.
Great to see the beautiful scenery in a nice sunny weather.
