Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2022 (March 21-27)

[Netserk]

If Ayuso bridges to the front duo, the GC for them would be:

Higuita
Ayuso +14''
Carapaz +20''

And then there's the seconds on the finish line.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Peloton completely fallen apart on the descent, insane stage. Said yesterday this was an ambush opportunity but would never have imagined the racing to be this brutal.

 

[Salvarani]

Where is Almeida?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quintana group reportedly half a minute down on Ayuso with nothing in between.

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain winning this race for Quintana.

 

[Velolover2]

Hahaha!

Most entertaining medium mountain stage since Fuente De?

 

[SafeBet]

Almeida doesn't have it today. He lost contact to many riders in the descent.

 

[Salvarani]

Is it Ciccone or Skjelmose for Trek in the Quintana group?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ayuso has no idea what to do without information from his earpiece.

 

[jaylew]

Ciccone, I believe

His group going to be caught by the peloton, it seems

 

[SafeBet]

What is he waiting for now???

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wait... i just left for 10 minutes

What the *** is Ayuso doing

 

[Netserk]

With all the illness going around, teams are effectively even smaller than usual. It shows.

 

[jaylew]

Wow, Ayuso has gained 30 secs on the descent

On the peloton, not the 2 up front

 

[Salvarani]

Wait... i just left for 10 minutes

What the *** is Ayuso doing

Things Masnada would do

 

[Salvarani]

Why is that moto there between the groups....

 

[noob]

WTF is Ayuso called back??

 

[jaylew]

He's waiting now

 

[Volderke]

If Almeida has an off-day, it actually makes sense for Ayuso to try his own luck. I just hope his chase is a bit consistent.

Edit: seems like he has to go back into his cage.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ideally Higuita and Carapaz lose a bit of time in the remainder so that there's still enough room for a collapse on what will undoubtedly be a crazy Montjuic stage tomorrow.

 

[KZD]

With Almeida descending like this it will be difficult for him to win the Giro

 

[Savant12]

Faking his radio problems.

 

[Salvarani]

Could end up being the best race of the season with a crazy stage tomorrow. Who is gonna be able to control it?

 

[SafeBet]

I don't mind Ayuso trying on the descent and forcing other teams to work behind. But sitting up once he gained 30 seconds? Makes no sense to me.

 

[Tim Cahill]

How do you say 'Rabobank' in Arabic
