Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2023 (February 1-5)

[BR2]

Spanish cameras at smaller races always have this thing for very shaky close ups which add nothing but give me a headache. If anyone has contacts, please tell them to stop that.

Go, go, go, Joan. I have stocks in the Bou Company.

He doesn't want company!

 

[Berniece]

Is Kristoff still there? Otherwise I can't see anyone else besides Girmay winning this, but I might forget about some riders.

EDIT: Forgot about Olav Kooij

 

[RedheadDane]

Intermarche is on fire these days!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Watch out for the champagne corks!

Girmay just too good compared to the rest, which is saying something when he's beating the likes of Kooij.

 

[hfgon1]

Easy win for Girmay.

 

[Salvarani]

Girmay wins!

Kooij second.

Garcia Cortina third.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He doesn't want company!

But he didn't make it, Bou-hoo.

Nice win for Girmay. The Wanty boys are on fire.

 

[DNP-Old]

Did Movistar just finish 3rd, 4th and 6th?

 

[search]

Movistar 3-4-5?! lol

 

[Samamba]

Can Intermarché stop already.

Kooij lacked speed there, probably the climbs.
Girmay looked fast tho, I don't think he can win a race like Flanders, but MSR....

Was Movistar going for the 10-5-3 UCI points or what were they doing lmao?

 

[Salvarani]

Watch out for the champagne corks!

Yes, better keep an eye on them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Incredibly far out for an uphill finish, looked like over 300m out he went

Arkea tactics!

Someone forgot to tell them this race doesn't follow the structure of Mallorca.

Masterclass in sprinting backwards by Wright by the way, he has work to do ahead of the classics.

Lol was thinking the same, Arkea does this in 1.Pro races, not 2.Pro. I mean in the end they stil got like 18 points, it's not like they can win a sprint with Cortina anyways. It just looks stupid tho.

 

[zlev11]

fred wright pathetic sprint

 

[Berflamand]

I think Movistar's tactics were just to place a rider in front of and behind José Joaquin Rojas to make sure he could get his 4th place.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Movistar 3-4-5?! lol

What's even more funny is they had a full blown lead out train for Cortina with Serrano, Arcas and Lluis Mas, and then Rojas and Aranburu following other sprinters lol

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Thomas Bay has now also invented a new rider called Iván García Acosta.

You don't think they decided to put on of their DSes out on the bike for today? Probably not...

if they did, his name wouldn't be Iván. I assume they made a clone with DNA from both of them.

There are rules against that!
