Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 21/03/2016 - 27/03/2016 2.UWT

[TMP402]

Every corner will put Swift back about 5 places

 

[TomLPC]

Roche attacks, not *** about by the look of things

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Roche has a decent gap and looks strong. 3 km to go yet.

 

[Scarponi]

Did not even l,ast a km

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Caught.

 

[TomLPC]

Nacer, swift second LOL

 

[Scarponi]

Too easy

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Bouhanni

 

[TommyGun]

He would have crushed MSR saturday, too bad!!!

 

[TMP402]

Bouhanni's win was immediately followed by a convention of the MSR losers' association.

Time to start the "Who was the moral winner of Catalunya Stage 1?" thread.

Good for Nacer...

 

[TomLPC]

Wilco kelderman in floods of tears as he finally becomes moral winner of stage 1 of the Volta

 

[TMP402]

I'd say Swift still has a chance on stages 2, 5, 6, 7. Not sure if Bouhanni will be able to compete on 5 and/or 7.

 

[SafeBet]

Bouhanni
Swift
Impey
Gasparotto

Then?

 

[carolina]

so easy

Last over 3km...

Re: Re:

Port Ainé is perfect for Alberto to create a big gap, if he is recovered from his cold he will win. Maybe Superman Lopez could follow him.

Yup, one thing is sure and that is Froome, Quintana and Aru - only his biggest rivals - won't be able to follow him. But maybe Lopez!

Exactly, you got it.

Aru has like zero interest to do so. He's in Catalunya purely to get racing miles. Astana ain't got a full team here even.

Wait for Basque Country when Aru flies away from everyone.

Aru will hardly get a podium in Pais Vasco...

 

[DBotero]

No surprise from Swift.

On what basis you say that? Aru has shown he has some great hilly skills, and as Quintana was proving year over year, the TT will be won by hardmen. Every chance Aru will do very well.
