Grassmarket 2,715 Posted April 14, 2021 #32 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Good day for - Cavendish makes it a hat-trick in Turkey, Tom Pidcock gets the Brabantse Pijl. Van Aert needing a few weeks off, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,500 Posted April 14, 2021 #34 Share Posted April 14, 2021 And the organizers screwed up big time, just like the Tour de Pologne organizers last year....the fences/boarding were standing in an incredibly unsafe manner again, luckily Sacha Modolo seems to be alright. At least the finish itself was pretty normal, unlike that idiotic stage in Poland where everyone knew it was only a matter of waiting for something terrible to happen.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted April 17, 2021 #35 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Enric Mas heading for home in yellow in the Valencia ITT, looking like he had defended his lead from a strong performance by Stefan Küng - punctures with 500m to go! Loses 1:26, drops down to third overall, Küng into yellow. Flat city-centre circuit sprint day tomorrow, so no chance of getting anything back.

heywoodu 13,500 Posted May 9, 2021 #38 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Meanwhile João Rodrigues gave W52/FC Porto it's biggest win ever, by taking the GC in the Volta ao Algarve after a fantastic final stage. It would definitely have been Ethan Hayter's win, but he fell in the ITT yesterday, held on to yellow, but then broke in the last kilometer today and ended up 9 seconds shy of the win. Rodrigues definitely didn't steal it though, he was the force that started the attacks on the final climb again and again until it worked. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/volta-ao-algarve/2021/stage-5 The team won plenty of Tours of Portugal, but that's not nearly as big as this one. Although it's often quite fun to watch as well, one generally sees things there which are...interesting, in terms of magic performances If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
