Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2024 (March 18-24)

[Salvarani]

Will be a bunch sprint

 

[Brullnux]

Good call Rick. As always

I admit guilt also, I thought Pog was holding back but he just doesn't look that strong

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ironically, Williams needed Pogacar to be a little stronger here.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Its honestly frightening they even considered it... and because of rain!? Pardon my french, but WHAT THE ***!?

Especially after the embarrassment that was stage 2 of last year's Vuelta, where the péloton fought back by refusing to race because the organiser screwed up on stage 1, so they cancelled racing in an area that was safe in order to move the finish to somewhere that was dangerous.

They could easily have just neutralised that one until they got to the closing circuit but instead we were left with crashes on the flat while racing was on, and then cyclotourists easing their way up dry roads.

It is hard to drop the whole peloton tbf.

Big group coming back now.

 

[Brullnux]

Yeah but he wasn't really able to close down Williams, Pogacar on Stage 1 drops them.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Williams looks good on this type of stage ..has speed plus can climb

 

[Salvarani]

Almeida!!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Almeida yo-yoing off the front for once.

 

[Brullnux]

This has been a fun finale I think

 

[Salvarani]

POG

THE GOAT

 

[Didinho]

The mountain sprinter.

 

[Brullnux]

Ffs Pogacar just wins the sprint

 

[RedheadDane]

Pog is a sprinter.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pog!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I know Smith has his connections to IPT, but they are aware there are riders other than Williams in that group, right?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Even when he isn't really trying, he can't stop himself.

 

[KZD]

Predictable outcome in the end with Pogačar winning a small sprint.

Williams and Steinhauser showing some good legs, the former might be an interesting outsider for the Ardennes.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Extremely frustrating listening to commentators constantly hype this random Steven William when fcking Pogacar is in the group having done no work.

 

[Salvarani]

Lmao Pogacar completely failed at protecting Almeida but then wins the sprint.

Lol, what you mean failed. He was in the front wheels trying to slow down. Almeida just didnt have it.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Williams burnt too many matches on the attack and bringing back Almeida ...pity

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Pog was forced to win this one

 

[Valv.Piti]

The GOAT, even when he cant drop these mortals, will just humiliate the opposition on the line

 

[Salvarani]

Teddy > Eddy
