Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2023, March 20-26

Almeida going to give Soler a stare-down as he goes by?

 

[Tim Cahill]

The Giro is going to be great with this lot, hopefully we are treated to another Masnada/Stelvio moment, sat 20 metres behind the group shaking his head the entire climb.

 

[Salvarani]

Generic "UAE are clowns" post

They are the new Movistar

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They didn't show the KOM, presume Evenepoel took it and therefore at least ends up with that jersey for his troubles?

 

[noob]

Is UAE team cars chasing down each other?

 

[Divergence]

There goes Smith again with his makes sense to give gifts...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This is by far the worst WorldTour race on the calendar.

Lol no. Pologne is worse in every aspect for example.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They are the new Movistar

They're worse. Movistar aren't this invested in chasing their former riders as UAE are in chasing their own, which is saying something.

Would u have said that if Remco won?

 

[DNP-Old]

Would u have said that if Remco won?

Yes, because the winner or loser of a race does not change or even influence my view of the directors of said race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The hope for maximum drama is that Landa gets a few seconds and takes 4th

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fking disgusting from UAE the worst team in cycling, Soler is from Catalunya and you chase him off the podium to put there Almida, who does nothing all week except get dropped. Soler literally the most entertaining guy in the race and its his home. Disgusting

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Remco proving to be the better climber with the KOM Jersey.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

LOL

Fans pay the bills. Ask any sponsor.

As I wrote, as long as you win you have fans, regardless. Only a few thousand hard-core aficionados really care about tactics. Sponsors want a winner raising his arms, after - of course - zipping up the jersey so the team logo is visible.

Whether you or I like Roglic's tactics, and I don't, he plays with the cards he's dealt. And with 500m to go, Roglic may be pulling another one...

 

[Riek s]

lets hope for a good sprint between both of them..

 

[bNator]

What a nice guy!

 

[Salvarani]

Evenepole wins the stage.

Roglic GC

 

[Volderke]

I wonder why Evenepoel didn't try to surprise Roglic on a flat headwind section... Not that it would be likely to work, but still...

? What

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ok, that was lame. Off to GW.

 

[dazaau]

lets hope for a good sprint between both of them..

Sadly no

 

[red_flanders]

That was the most obvious gift I’ve ever seen. Meh. Woulda rather seen them fight it out.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Was that a gift?

 

[DNP-Old]

? What

This is by far the worst WorldTour race on the calendar.
