Volta ao Algarve May 5-9 2021

[Zinoviev Letter]

What a squad DQS have sent to this. Asgreen the best climber, Ballerini the second best...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Asgreen saw blue jerseys behind him and thought he had teammates left to work for?

 

[RedheadDane]

With normal humans, I'd think this is way too early to be at the front.
With Asgreen... I'm not so sure.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Kämna dropped.

 

[Earns1985]

Kämna dropped?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

With normal humans, I'd think this is way too early to be at the front.
With Asgreen... I'm not so sure.

I thought you were talking about W52 for the first half of that post.

 

[BlueRoads]

Yeah, that's it for him.

 

[Bushman]

What the hell is Asgreen doing?

 

[Mayomaniac]

4 or 5 W52 guys in the front group.

 

[BlueRoads]

Asgreen: Evenepoel? I'm your new super-star!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Way more CT than WT riders in the front bunch, as it should be.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Radio Popular vs W52, are we already at la Grandissima?

 

[RedheadDane]

That's not a very big company.



(Yes... I went there.)

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The peloton really hasn't thinned down whatsoever since Asgreen stopped pulling.

Edit: speak of the devil...

 

[RedheadDane]

Gesbert going!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not difficult enough for Alarcon or the 2021 non-suspended equivalent, but hopefully 52 have someone up for it after committing so much early.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The Ineos-W52 battle we've all wanted for years has arrived... and W52 are losing.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, it's Bouet, not Gesbert, the Arkea guy in the front group?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Great showing by Hayter, not a bad sprint by Rodrigues either.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hayter's kick is just too good in this field.

 

[Wvv]

Ethan hey there.

 

[sir fly]

Entertaining uphill rush.
Kudos to Hayter and the rest.

it was Gesbert.

I thought Bouet had retired years ago, tbh.

 

[SafeBet]

Ineos just on another level. Hayter now the favorite for the GC, I'd say.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

When Hayter can survive such a stage, then I can't see anyone beating him, when he's also of one of the best TT'ers in the race.
