Vuelta Ciclista a Andalucía - Ruta del Sol 2022 (February 16-20)

[jmdirt]

Poels?! Nice!

 

[Lequack]

Bad tactics from Astana. They gave Bahrain the stage win and the GC. And all Lutsenko had to do, was nothing.
If this continues Lopez might do a Lopez and step out of the race.

Thought Yates looked strong but he was tactically naive - You follow the attack of the Astana/Bahrain riders and nothing else.

 

[armchairclimber]

Rodriguez (Carlos) was very canny there. Clearly after a GC win on his home turf.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

I‘m very impressed by Poels. He is already super strong, and it‘s just February.

Bahrain will have a super team for this year‘s TdF. I hope, they all stay healthy and don‘t crash before July.

Poels today won this sprint against Lutsenko, who is also already super good. Hats off

I see this is the enhanced moto gp...

 

[BlueRoads]

didn't look like almost 3 minutes...?

 

[Salvarani]

Clarke done already

 

[Salvarani]

Sheffield looking good

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bora really should be trying to use their numbers in a better way than just having Buchmann pull endlessly.

I think Wandahl already got dropped after pulling earlier.
And now one of them attacked.

 

[Salvarani]

Good attack from Kämna!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Astana have been quite passive today, a bit disappointing.

 

[RedheadDane]

Good attack from Kämna!

Hopefully he's finally over his mental issues.

Well it helps when Kämna is the strongest rider in the breakaway. Nice to see him slowly getting his old legs back.

 

[Salvarani]

What is up with the commentator... wrong name for every rider

 

[Salvarani]

Strong finish by Sheffield!

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm so happy for Kämna... I hope days like this give him a lot of motivation.

 

[Salvarani]

Poels wins the GC!

Him and Smith have made for a really poor pairing all race.

Pretty easy for Poels in the end, Lopez was very underwhelming but I doubt he could have taken the requisite time regardless.

He has to ride with joy. He shouldn't really ride for GC in the next years, but just go for the attack. I think if he does that, while having fun, he is fine.

Oh, ok. They are just bad commentators. Im not aware since most times there are other commentators in my country. Today there is a lot of racing though so I guess they used the default english ones for this one.

Yeah, easy in the Poels. Lopez usually not that good in these type of finishes and he wasnt today either.

 

[Escarabajo]

Lopez didn't have the legs today but still, you have to question Astana tactics in this race. They should have been defending instead of attacking. Hopefully they fine tune their forms and improve their tactics.
