Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2022 (March 21-27)

Not sure why they are hyping up the Vernon/Bagioli duo when they are rather obviously arranging the leadout for Fausto.

I'm pretty sure Masnada has been busying himself doing the "sitting in the peloton" of the century so far today, so I'm not sure there can be much more to be squeezed out of him.

 

[Samamba]

Ineos really not having any luck.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The splits are already appearing without there being actual echelons...

 

[noob]

Yates crash :O

 

[RedheadDane]

Yates down!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Yates down.

 

[Samamba]

If it breaks yates will be in throuble

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Oh Simon

 

[noob]

This is the weirdest stage

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton very stressful atm

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Don't think I've ever seen this many crashes on a random flat stage in a week-long race. That's at least five today.

 

[glassmoon]

this seems impossible for SY to save

 

[Samamba]

Yeah Yates is done because of that last crash.

 

[Bolder]

That corner was way too narrow with the traffic island in the middle of it. Lucky that only a few riders went down. Still amazed that the UCI continues to allow that kind of poor route planning.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Movistar must think Carapaz has been caught behind

Impossible to avoid pinch points like that all the way throughout the race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Flatland monster Quintana getting involved.

 

[RedheadDane]

Skjelmose did what earlier today?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Just love Nairoman in these situations

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Impossible to compete for the overall victory after losing a minute on this route, this is also a disaster for BE's WT battle.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is a ridiculous choice of road for the final 10 kilometres, very lucky it isn't a full peloton.

 

[Samamba]

Thats not a 30 seconds gap

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

loooooooooooool motorpacing

 

[Devil's Elbow]

In the midst of all the other bad things about this season, the motorpacing is also as bad as ever...

 

[Samamba]

Leaders getting sick and motorpacing is how I will remember this season
