Volta ao Algarve 2022 (February 16-20)

[Salvarani]

Gaudu 44 seconds behind

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hayter same time as Foss (15s slower at T1)

 

[KZD]

Foss and Guernalec's times so close to Küng's make me think Evenepoel will win this stage.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gaudu only 10s slower than Martinez, for what it's worth.

 

[SafeBet]

Martinez almost the same time as Kung in the second part though.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel 51s faster than Küng at T2.

 

[Bonimenier]

Holy moly

 

[SafeBet]

What a monster.

 

[JosefK]

Remco riding with hair on fire.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Wow, this is almost unreal.

 

[KZD]

I am starting to think that we will see Remco with the rainbow jersey at the end of the season,

 

[Lequack]

Remco now the favorite to win the Vuelta.

 

[Salvarani]

Very impressive!

 

[Big Doopie]

Full disclosure: I do like Remco

And, as I have said, this TT is a little out of balance for this race.

However, it is such a shame that GTs have so cut the TTs.

It is the race of truth. Always has been.

And it is a thing of beauty.

And if they brought the balance back in GTs it would force the pure climbers to take risks and attack earlier.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pfft. Not even a minute.

TT jersey?
That's not ganna happen.

 

[TomBonnen2005]

TT jersey?
That's not ganna happen.

Before his accident he was boxing Ganna. I'm curious.

 

[JosefK]

Pfft. Not even a minute.

His career is crumbling.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Awesome time by Evenepoel, always looks like he is riding a bike too big for him but to be fair it's extremely difficult to look stylish on a tt bike, only Big Jan, Wiggo and Tom Dumoulin managed it off the top of my head.

Increase miles, have them do it on road bikes like dawg said but also get rid of helmets for tts as a purists compromise to increase spectacle on the road!

 

[Red Rick]

Gaudu's TT position hurts the eye

 

[SafeBet]

Gaudu's TT position hurts the eye

His time isn't that bad though.

 

[JosefK]

Should be a fun stage tomorrow. Attacks guaranteed (I hope).

 

[Red Rick]

Remco now the favorite to win the Vuelta.

Yeah I think we all doubted he could ITT

 

[Samamba]

Good TT from Gaudu, didn't expect that.
