Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2024 (March 18-24)

Jay Vine is a DNS with stomach problems

Always stomach problems by him...

Almida will set the pace and prepare Poga for his nuclear attack.

 

[Salvarani]

Majka should have been here instead of Vine.

Van Gils is back in race. After a good night's sleep, the pain in the wrist is reduced. The team is now taking the risk of letting him start after all. But is that wise ? It may still turn out to be a (small) fracture. I also don't think that Van Gils is still eligible for a stage victory with a painful wrist (and the consequences for the organism). If everything evolves well, it may still be possible in a few days.

Unipuerto but Kuss could impress today.

Pogi is shaking in his boots right now

Always stomach problems by him...

Needs some probiotics and PPIs. Wonder if it’s food related, physiologically, or c****c.

Vine is a completely useless rider. Even if he was clearly only recruited as a PR ploy to promote the UAE's Zwift rival, that signing is a disaster.

Vine is a niche rider, useful for teams like Alpecin, Cofidis, Intermarché... but totally useless for a Visma/Bora/UAE kind of structure.

Did he have an allergic reaction to a race that requires being able to handle your bike again?

I hear Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Tadej Pogacar at night.

 

[Netserk]

While he is not the most likeable rider, everyone can get ill. I'm mostly wondering why UAE selected him for this race. He was affected by (previous) illness in UAE Tour and Paris-Nice as well, so why not give him some proper rest and let him build up for the Giro?

Been trying and failing to post a screenshot of that. Totally insane!

 

[Red Rick]

Biggest bully since Lance

 

[gregrowlerson]

You were about 4 hours late.

 

[Ricco']

According to my calculations, since 2022, Vine didn't finish 9 out of 18 stage races he started due to crashes/illnesses.

Pogi is back in the peloton. Too bad

 

[Tim Cahill]

How about letting the Pro-Conti guys in the break have their day in the sun instead of pointless attention seeking attacks

Peloton legit should've just sat up, give him 3 minutes, whats he going to do in no-mans land

Aside from his usual crashing at every corner, Vine seems just too fragile for the spring races in Europe, all these injuries, illnesses, struggling in the cold.

He performs well outside of Europe or on a few Vuelta stages when it's warm. Last year he skipped Algarve, Tirreno, Catalunya, was useless in the giro. And again this spring is a disaster. Same story in 2022.

UAE has enough climbing stars already, imagine if they have Vine's contract to a guy like Cattaneo for example.

What a useless rider.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I love your posts!

An infection from UAE resulting in sh!tting the bed!

The GOAT is 78 years old and he already retired some time ago.

He would fit better in Jumbo. Can't have stomach problems if your stomache is empty.
