2017 Tirreno Adriatico 8-14 March

My little fantasy world ????

He he he

 

well it is a slight different fantasy to mine.. but hey it'll work[emoji12]

 

Note not that kind of fantasy. Although our young gun has grown into a very handsome man.

 

Wonder if I could adopt Boonen too.

 

Hubby laughs at me.. always tell him can't we just claim Sagan as our own and keep him to ourselves, to which hubby responds .. and he will be your squishy and be yours lol

 

 

For you Dale

I hope that marionette Inca does not take final GC.................

He most likely will.............

[GrumpyOldGuy]

He's won many races and a few Grand Tours, GOG

 

Exciting to watch now.

Translating pressure into consistent results makes him a highly rated cyclist.

His competitors fear his dominance in the mountains.

 

He never whines either.

He let's his pedals work.

 

It's not easy at all to win a bike race.

Never mind over a week or three.

 

Hey, I'm a big Berto fan.

What flamboyance. Agreed. ⭐️

Naa, he is just dull and uninspiring, he has never animated a race, there are also lots of exciting riders out there, not just 'Berto, guys like Sagan, Valverde, the Yates brothers, Tom Dumolin, Alaphillipe, and many others, all take the race by the scruff of the neck and run with it,...Quintana not so much.

 

The day Quintana goes off on a 40 kms solo jaunt with Two cat 1 climbs in front of him and a 20 kms twisting mountain road is the day I will change my mind,....... but I feel quite confident it wont be soon.

Bit of a disaster because of a level crossing between the break away and the peleton again

Ja that was a bit odd... I get stopping the peloton for the crossing..

 

But

 

And then they stop the break away on the climb erm.. hello stop them after the KOM [emoji15]

I must say, I thought Mollema would be a better rival for Quintana than was during Tirreno.

True hey.. difficult with the GC riders having different objectives.. Nairo focus is on the Giro..other have different objectives.. is Mollema riding the Giro?

As far as I know he is aiming for a Giro win yeah.

[Cav']

After MSR we'll have quite a GC battle at Volta Catalunya!

 

I expect Froome to be a rust bucket.

[Gen]

As far as I know he is aiming for a Giro win yeah.

Sjoe.. then his TA has been a let down

[Gen]

Erm even the commentators are on about the CTCT being cancelled [emoji53]

[Cav']

Sjoe.. then his TA has been a let down

I think he'll do enough to podium, that's if that ginger from Lotto doesn't out perform him.

 

Pantano has a very aggressive riding style much like AC, thats why I llke him more. (and he is only 28)
