Kern Pharma > Visma.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Aupa, Urko!

 

[Squire]

Think Berrade just won the stage.

 

[ppanther92]

Don't crash going down, Kruijswijk

Ok, Berrade anyway too strong...

 

[Sciatic]

Think Berrade just won the stage.

He’s gone for sure

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Berrade really giving it a go!

Let's see if he can keep it up. Didn't know him before this attack tbh.

The last victory for Kruijswijk Steven (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) was 10 years + 19 days ago (Arctic Race of Norway )

10 years no win for Kruijswijk.

Are we listening to the same commentating?
Sounds to me like he's mostly criticising them not sending riders back early enough.

Also that, which is more than fair, but he's being very sceptical of them sending riders up in the first place. Would be an ever worse situation without the lads out front

 

[Didinho]

Pharma 1-2 incoming.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kern Pharma Group Inox-Navigare

 

[SafeBet]

Lol Kern Pharma is getting a bit ridiculous.

Well, I didn't catch the first part of the stage, so I have no way of knowing what he said earlier.

14” at the banner.

Cattaneo would have been able to help him on the climb.

There was a dream that was GC Kuss. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's mostly descent, think he might have it

Kerncerning...

 

[Sciatic]

Grp 2 syndrome about to set in

Kerncerning...

Rolf's MO is basically that as a GC team, you gotta do nothing and sit in the peloton and do nothing when you have a leader if you're a domestique. Critisized Bora as well, and continued to critisize Visma and Wout Aert in 2022 and 2023.

 

[Squire]

Grp 2 syndrome about to set in

Happened already when Berrade went after Kruijswijk.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Cattaneo would have been able to help him on the climb.

Sure, thats true, but he would be toast anyways. Casper P and Mauri would be useless if not up front.

 

[Didinho]

Pharma 1-2 incoming.

Schmid is not fun at parties.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ahh damn we didn't get the Saunier-Duval moment but what a win
