Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2022 (March 21-27)

[Salvarani]

Why not let O´Connor close this gap?

 

[Scarponi]

Quints going to win here?

 

[Scarponi]

O Connor dropped

 

[Samamba]

It's not just the level of competition, it's also Van Wilder not going well. Torstein Traeen is outclimbing him, for example.

Traeen is outclimbing 20 guys he shouldn't be outclimbing. Might just be really good today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Does Almeida know Ayuso is done

 

[RedheadDane]

O'Connor done for.

 

[Salvarani]

Lol Almeida

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quintana and Higuita have the same negative never-taking-a-pull-then-putting-in-an-attack style...

 

[Scarponi]

Quints flicking that elbow

 

[Bolder]

Cmon nairo, dont look back.

 

[SafeBet]

Poels winning this would be hilarious.

 

[noob]

Almeida back to being Almeida!

 

[Scarponi]

Nairo winning a sprint would have been a lol

 

[SafeBet]

Why wait for Ayuso when you are the strongest rider in the race?
BOTA LUME!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Higuita shot himself in the foot by never doing a pull, meant he was caught out by the hairpin.

 

[Carols]

Bye, Bye Ben!

 

[Bolder]

Good fight from O'Connor but too many pure climbers.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

O Connor O Goner

He's simply not good enough today. Nothing to do with the team. I think you underestimate the level of competition here. This isn't Provence.

My post was from before he got dropped. I didn't say he was good, quite the opposite. I'm questioning the team tactics to do all the work so early on the climb so that they 1/ effectively isolated him 2/ drove the pace when he wasn't good enough.

It's also less than a month after his Covid break.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lol Almeida

lol

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nice for Almeida. Well deserved.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Strongest in the race won

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quintana and Almeida on the same time on GC I believe?

 

[sir fly]

That was entertaining.

 

[Laplaz]

Thank god Almeida won, the one one with balls (of the first three).
