Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2023, March 20-26

[DJ Sprtsch]

That went well. PCS reporting Jimbo pulling in peloton with 163 km to go.

I would say that Guillaume Martin and Carapaz in a break very much equals GC threats, so of course they are controlling.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Guillaume Guyonnet is the virtual leader!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The one thing that really makes Carapaz stand out from the other GC riders of his level is that he always tries to the most of his participation in a stage race, no matter how bad his form is. Lots of respect for that.

And the same can be said for Guillaume Martin, tbh.

True but the post I was replying to said could be a lot of work for Quickstep, but actually now Jumbo have let the gap go to almost four minutes, QS and Trek will probably have to help at some stage.

Remco smash! Why Remco no win? It's a shame that he's not going to the Tour as a super-domestique for Pogacar and Vingegaard this year.

He is secretly going to the Tour but after he wins Giro

Do you automatically become more interesting if you misspell words and names?

G. Martin doing G. Martin things

yeah, he was interviewed as well this morning, and said that he did exactly the same thing in 2019, 2:30 down on Vallter, "almost won" (8th at the finish) from the break on la Molina the day after - so wanted to give it a try again. But he was a bit sick last week.

Yeah, nice of him to show that not all Italians share the personality of Ilmaestro.

I’m a fan but I think he goes into a lot of races planning to stage hunt when people assumed he’d be gunning for GC. He’s got a lot of tricks.

I'll just call him Oofdebrooks

 

[Andy schleck]

No Naichaca watts post I wonder why

He thinks remco evenepoel is gonna do 7 w/kg on friday.

How many meters does Roglic have?

Ba-dum-tshhh

(it's a joke boys)

@DNP-Old those have to include junior years, as Evenepoel has 38 wins, of which 9 TT and 11 GC. Also, PCS is usually very modest in the solo km they count. For reference, they only counted 14km solo in Liège, because Armirail was able to stay in Evenepoel's wheel for a while after being overtaken.

Blame the algorithm.

Why? Not my problem if these simpletons can't look at a statistic without their personal interests getting in the way or their feelings getting hurt.

Yeah, they usually only take the kilometers ridden alone, except for the Landis, which they have as 126 kms, despite him only catching the breakaway many kilometers later, even getting a few pulls from them and only dropping Sinkewitz on Joux Plane.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The crazy stat is that it's now been 2500 days since Bardiani last won a Giro stage.

And precisely why I find him the most exciting rider in today’s peloton.
