Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2022 (March 21-27)

[Devil's Elbow]

Surprisingly aggressive racing given the climb and the size of the peloton.

 

[JosefK]

Yatesy preparing to release the rage.

This didn't age well.

 

[Fantastico]

Valverde is also looking bad. Not typical to see him at the end of the bunch.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Halland Johannessen and Træen looks really, really good.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Peloton may well be handing O'Connor the GC here.

 

[noob]

Lol complete anarchy in the peleton atm

 

[SafeBet]

Sosa not working means Valverde doesn't feel great?
O'Connor can win this.

With Movistar you never know...

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE too many Chiefs not enough Indians

 

[SafeBet]

With Movistar you never know...

Yeah and they have another rider in the group I think.

 

[Fantastico]

Should be Sosa and Verona. But if Valverde is not riding at the front, he usually does not feel good.

 

[Escarabajo]

This edition with the soft climbs!!
Not good.

 

[SafeBet]

I'm enjoying the UAE version of Soler so far.

 

[Bolder]

O'Connor might steal this one. Lousy camerawork

 

[Escarabajo]

I don't get this? is everyone sick?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bunch of idiots in the peloton today, happy to see O'Connor's attacking rewarded though.

 

[SafeBet]

O'Connor
Ayuso (I think)
Nairoman

 

[tobydawq]

Of course we weren't allowed to see the sprint for second. Very important that the camera must zoom out as soon as the first rider crosses the line...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Well deserved win for O’Connor. UAE should’ve paced instead of attacking 100 times.

 

[sir fly]

Sound performance.
Well done.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Asterisked win without Masnada

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE are so used to having Pogacar in races like this that they have forgotten how to do tactics.

 

[roundabout]

O'Connor was great, but this was the least selective La Molina Volta stage ever I think

 

[tobydawq]

O'Connor
Ayuso (I think)
Nairoman

Yes, Higuita 4th.

Valverde didn't sprint and was not well-positioned at any point of the climb.

Australia with third stage win in a row.

What was Valverde doing? Is he getting old?
