Volta ao Algarve 2024 - 2.Pro (February 14-18)

[Tim Cahill]

Same helmet since '22 i believe.

I might be remembering wrong but the visor looked a fair bit larger this time

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco -5.

 

[DNP-Old]

Wout +34

 

[Salvarani]

Solid from Morgado

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco has 38 seconds on Kuss. Maybe, just maybe...

 

[Peyroteo94]

Wout +34

Somehow, I think he will have an atrocious season. Hope to be wrong, If not MVP will walk in Flanders and Roubaix

 

[DNP-Old]

Martinez +13

 

[Berniece]

Martinez +13

That’s quite a good time

Told you guys Van Aert wasn't going for GC.

Are you Van Aert?

 

[RedheadDane]

Are you Van Aert?

If he is, then it's no wonder he's losing so much time...

 

[search]

Everyone is losing a lot now in the 2nd part, which mainly had a tailwind all day. It was supposed to get a bit weaker later in the afternoon - maybe this is the case now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surprises me a bit to see Van Aert changing it up for his classics prep, they did everything right in Roubaix and his form wasn't the problem at all, just had some awful luck at end, I don't think he would've won Flanders regardless.

I think they feel something needs changing if he wants to win at De Ronde if MVDP reaches the same level as last year.

How far is Sheffield getting in GC? Fourth?

Okay, not that high. More like 7th. But he will jump a lot of guys.

 

[Rob5091]

Hart with a lot of work to do on the TT-bike.

 

[red_flanders]

Hart apparently hasn't really done anything on the tt bike, might take a while realigning his position with the dodgy hip.

His movement is so restricted and awkward right now. Looks uncomfortable.

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco -16

 

[search]

Remco 1st by 16s at the 2nd split. So the wind doesn't seem to be a (major) issue

 

[DNP-Old]

Remco has 1:26 on Kuss. It's possible...

 

[Didinho]

Remco has 1:26 on Kuss. It's possible...

GC/TT Kuss in sight.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Remco has 1:26 on Kuss. It's possible...

Very possible. 2 km to see him and another 4 to catch him

 

[DNP-Old]

Martinez +41

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Evenepoel mow this fool down

 

[Salvarani]

6th at the T2 is good from Martinez.

Gaps just larger than expected on this course.

 

[Froome]

Daniel martinez back to his normal level, and saying goodbye to the 2024 season. Next year he will back on alto de foia.
