UAE Tour 2021, February 21 - February 27

[TomLPC]

Yates and Pogacar very strong here

 

[jarvo]

Ineos are getting more value for money out of Adam Yates than ISN getting from Froome already

 

[Lequack]

 

[tobydawq]

Peyresourde 2007 all over again.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Kuss doing nothing for Harper

Finally drops back to him.

 

[Lequack]

Almeida doing his best Giro face

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nice track sprinting from Pogacar

Yes that was a textbook Valverde overtake.

 

[Scarponi]

yates had his pants pulled down there

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nibali inside the stage to 15?

 

[jarvo]

Yates might go super hard in 2 days now, should be annoyed he got mugged so easily at the end there

 

[tobydawq]

Very intelligent finish by Pogacar. That guy is some weapon.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Pog took a leaf out of the Roglic book of waiting until the final couple hundred metres to sprint for the win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Stork? Huh?

He was flying

 

[Lequack]

Valverde @ +3:45 something like that, Froome @ +5:00

 

[Netserk]

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Valverde @ +3:45 something like that, Froome @ +5:00

Them bloody cross winds again!

 

[damian13ster]

Where was Pozzo? Didn't see him whole climb.

Yates got played there. How do you let the guy gather speed for 10s without noticing on such finish is beyond me

 

[Lequack]

I have to say that leader's jersey is pretty good looking. Apparently the hired some Italian designers for the jerseys this year.

 

[tobydawq]

Pog took a leaf out of the Roglic book of waiting until the final couple hundred metres to sprint for the win.

So, because of today we have to categorise Pogacar as a boring, negative rider? I'd take a pass on that.

 

[SafeBet]

Some impressive yet unexpected performances from Stork, Powless and Vanhoucke.

Kuss with the usual "I'm looking so cool while attacking" which suddenly becomes "I'm looking so cool while dropping".

Hopefully DQS tries again in the wind before the end of the race.

 

[sir fly]

Impressive duel.
Would be still impressive even if it wasn't at this point of the season.
Great ride behind the duo as well.

It's almost like this is the best tactic when you are in the lead, you are maybe a little worse climber on the day and have the better sprint.

I don't think you can compare Stork to Powless and Vanhoucke. They have both shown some signs of quality before. Stork has just been completely anonymous pack fodder until today.

 

[Samamba]

I'm confused, where did Storck come from? He didn't do anything special in the pro or even the u23 ranks. Is there something I missed?
