Tour of the Alps 2026, April 20-24

gc to be decided tomorrow

the climb done 1½ times tomorrow

Better for Gee if the race explodes on the first ascent of the climb?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Gaffu only loses 1 place in the gc, I don't think the technical and explosive finale was good for him. Lets see tomorrow on the longer climbs. Top 10 overall would be a good result

Very mean by Leemreize to stay ahead just so we can say that Geesus was beaten by a PicnicPostNL rider today

Unfortunately I need the cq points so a good GC here would be appreciated

With o'conner not looking too good on GC, hopefully Paul double is given the freedom to chase the stage win tomorrow

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

if Ineos don't go on the attack tomorrow and play the 1-2, we might as well all pack up and go home

- Not using the Alte Jenesier straße or Rafensteiner weg on the first ascent.
- Not climbing Salten from the other side, so Terlan as the first ascent.
- those 2 +180 degree corners inside tunnels on the final descent.

Except for Oman, Double has shown no form so far in 2026. Jayco has been agressive in this race, so if he has the legs he could end up in the break.

Double has been sick since March/start of April and hasn't been able to train I believe, PCS has him down for Vuelta, don't know where they got it from though.

Yeah he went to giro altitude camp at Sierra Nevada after catalunya, did one ride in 5 days and then left. Lucky for Vingegard

Had to quit speed skating because of a muscular imbalance according to German Wikipedia.

I imagine he was a long distance speed skater? Would explain the engine

Acorrding Alix in Eurosport Spain, he did about 15 min competitions as much.

He competed at oinddor cycling as you explain.

Alix said he has a Bugno style.and in tne way he didnt move the body he resemble a little

Lennart Jasch: WELCOME TO THE SHOW!!!!!
Great to see a development rider, coming from another sport do well. That finish showed serious fitness and ability to ride at limit without blowing up. Good luck in the future.

FANTASTIC WIN LJ!!
-Development rider TAKES the victory!

Guys, guess who won the last finish in Bozen/Bolzano back in 2019…

Either Masnada or the great Mark Padun.

The man obviously impressed the scouts with his numbers, when they came knocking -

"...it was so incredibly hard until the very, very end. So I never was really sure that I would really make it to the finish first. Just when I turned right on to the finishing straight, there was a moment I realised, f***, I just won my first pro [.Pro] race."...Jasch explained that he had switched to cycling because of a skating injury. "Then I realised, sh*t, I'm actually quite good at cycling. At least from the watts."

Just came here to say but you're too quick. A secret big masnada fan. Who can forget the way he terrorised froome and nibali in that race, they *** themselves not knowing how to deal with an actually good rider.

Meanwhile in this addition the riders are like deer in headlights, frozen and doing nothing. Prime fausto would run amok.

5km's until the fun starts

 

[Mayomaniac]

And of course the helicopter shots showed the most ghetto parts of the town.

 

[Mayomaniac]

That said Gries and the start of the climb are some of the nicest parts of Bolzano.

 

[Potomac]

???

I was just about to remark about the precision agriculture...or at least very tidy.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, those tunnels suck when you're going downhill on open roads.
25 degrees atm in Bolzano
