Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2023, March 20-26

[noob]

Carapaz done, Martin still going

Edit: Carpaz bridging back

I've started ignoring his complaints. I don't really wake up and ask myself "What does the Foss say"

I understand he had his dream, how (clearly) improbable. I don't understand Jumbo going along with this for so long. Had he shifted focus he might have won some nice stages or nice TT's.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is Carapaz going to somehow Shanghai these guys into working for him

 

[Potomac]

This is one heck of a climb

It hasn't cost Jumbo much tbh. He fit nicely into a D-team they would send to the Giro in the 2 previous years. I doubt Foss is on huge money and I doubt he'll get a huge contract from Jumbo after this.

Roglic seems like a really nice fella. He's a fantastic all round rider. I feel like I should really like him .... but instinctively I don't. I actually punched the air yesterday when Ciccone won. I feel it was an irrational, reflex response. Maybe it's the jersey, I don't know.

The mustache maybe?

Not fond of moustaches myself, but he's actually a good looking fella as well. There's something about the way he sits inscrutably 3rd wheel or whatever that niggles. It shouldn't really.

 

[Potomac]

He is one of my favorite riders but there is something about his facial hair that puts me off.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel still has 3 guys, Roglic still has... 1. While QS have been doing all the heavy lifting so far.

Because he looks like a kid otherwise so he looks sorta perverse in the mustach (everyone does look perverse in a mustach tbh)

How about PAYING for GCN or some other LEGAL streaming service

 

[Jagartrott]

Like yesterday, also today a ski area without snow.

That's because Kuss is the only proper climber with Roglic. I wonder how their Giro is going to go. What is Kelderman doing? TDF or Giro? Maybe Bouwman will be better by the time the Giro starts.

Although where is Kruijswijk? Gesink has an excuse due to his crash.

Years of disliking Valverde for riding that way maybe?

Obviously they should be able to follow when the peloton is still this big. It's not like this QS team consists of super climbers. It was Serry who choked half of Jumbo.

doesn't really matter if he wheelsucks Remco's wheel though.

Well...GCN is...semi-legal...depending on your locale.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Foss did say he had been sick after Paris-Nice, but then again most riders have usually been sick when they don't perform. Roglič doesn't really need more than one guy, but it's obviously not the best look for the team.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gap below a minute now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

doesn't really matter if he wheelsucks Remco's wheel though.

Looking at it from that perspective, Roglic has the strongest team.

 

[Potomac]

who are the announcers?

 

[acm]

Roglič still has 3 guys.
