Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta 2025 ( February 19 - February 23)

[Netserk]

He obviously had to relaunch once Fretin cut him off.

Fretin only came around him because he was super slow.

Well, yes, but 7th sounds a lot worse than, say, 4th.

 

[Red Rick]

If that's a relegation we can relegate Philipsens entire career

 

[Coffeeplanter]

That being said, with the horror helmet and without the paint of wonders, Vingegaard and Wout to finish 12th and 18th respectively tomorrow.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

This would de facto be a wise decision.

Except the only good part. That one edition of Brugge-De Panne.

 

[Tim Cahill]

He looks like Van Aert

 

[Mayomaniac]

De Lie and Girmay looked terrible.

Ganna looked like he onkly decided he wanted to sprint when he saw the finish

Ganna isn't that comfortable riding full blown bunch sprints.
Imagine him leading out Milan...

 

[Sciatic]

That was a lot of work by Visma for maybe 7th place. It looks to me like he just isn't willing to get physical enough to get in a good spot, and even if he did, he doesn't have the power to take a sprint like that. Going to be a long spring for Wout fans.

He got cut off and had stopped for two pedal strokes. Maybe he could have held his position and risk crashing I’m not sure.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I don't blame Wout one bit for hesitating here. Some races perhaps worth the extra risk, others are not. Given the horrors of last season, he's justified in being especially discriminating between the two.

 

[Landeirovic]

Morgado and De Plus came 6 seconds closer!

Malhao roughly translates to bag in Slovenian. Je v malhi would hence roughly translate to it's in the bag.

FYI.

Malhao translates to Milhouse in American. I mean just look at this man's sprint.

Classy Rogla.

 

[Rockestar_33]

I reckon Almeida can hold Jonas and Rogla off but I don't think he will tonight

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Hold them off? I have a feeling he is going to beat them.

 

[Salvarani]

Hold them off? I have a feeling he is going to beat them.

Both Christen and Morgado will probably not be far off on this stage either I reckon.

 

[Rackham]

I think some of it depends on how technical the course is. Aka whether there's lots of corners. It's not just about the climb at the end.

If it's 17km of straight lines and open road, Almeida should have this one in the bag. But I haven't seen the map.

 

[pelotonIQ]

This is a coin toss between Roglic and Vinge but danish is an ugly language. Go Roglic!

Excuse me!

 

[Red Rick]

Can't stand they're not even climbing the traditional side of Malhao

 

[Netserk]

Can't stand they're not even climbing the traditional side of Malhao

They are.

 

[Red Rick]

They are.

I guess I'm just gonna be salty about something else then.

The motos will no doubt want to get some close-ups of Morgado and Almeida.
