Volta ao Algarve 2022 (February 16-20)

[Salvarani]

Thomas looks heavy

Is he focusing on the classics, perhaps?

 

[Squire]

Ineos doing an excellent job of controlling the race for Evenepoel.

Yep!

And what a massive difference it is to listen to commentators who actually understand what's going on (GCN) instead of someone who'd have marked this down as a Simon Clarke victory already.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Thomas looks heavy

Is he focusing on the classics, perhaps?

He's focusing on celebrating the four-year anniversary of his Tour win.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The profile design makes the final climb look absolutely deadly

 

[Salvarani]

Küng still there

 

[Samamba]

Connor Swift is gonna be tired before the classic season starts if he keeps going like this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know the racing has been passive when Küng sets the tempo at 2k to go on a MTF.

 

[KZD]

If things remain like this, Pidcock will probably beat the rest in the sprint.

 

[Samamba]

What am i watching?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Küng and Pidcock clearly like to talk about rugby together, he's just helping a mate

 

[Red Rick]

Do we have sprint relegation police on uphill finishes?

 

[Salvarani]

Foss...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was farcical, both the racing and the way it was decided.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Went too far, Higuita.

 

[red_flanders]

What the actual....

 

[armchairclimber]

Jeez.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

McNulty blocking Evenepoel.

 

[Netserk]

Quite unfortunate, but my first impression was that the fault is mostly on Higuita.

 

[Salvarani]

Remco throwing his arm up in the air as he finishes. Typical behavior at this point. Shame, such a good rider.

 

[TomBonnen2005]

Küng has absolutely no chance with Foia and Malhao finishes.

Disagree...

 

[Salvarani]

Quite unfortunate, but my first impression was that the fault is mostly on Higuita.

Yeah... a bit unnecessary since he had space on the outside.

 

[Samamba]

What a farce

 

[Andre]

that was strange

 

[DaLong]

Remco throwing his arm up in the air as he finishes. Typical behavior at this point. Shame, such a good rider.

Was he really trying to insinuate that crash was the reason he was born without a sprint?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Well the jury will have a hard time with that one. Evenepoel went for a gap that was already disappearing because the rider to McNulty's right was also moving left, and then the bend makes it hard to accuse both Higuita and Foss of changing their line. Still, with the stringent punishments for Meeus and Richeze lately, there might be relegations regardless and then there's also the matter of time gaps.
