[Jaysus]

so.... a 7 mile ITT tomorrow? Almeida is not making up any time there.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Tomorrow’s time trial at Vuelta has to be shortened from 27.2 km to 12.2 km because of big protests are expecting along the route.

 

[BassNBrew]

so.... a 7 mile ITT tomorrow? Almeida is not making up any time there.

Beginning to wonder if these are Denmark sympathizers rather than Palestine.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

I want my stage results from the shortened stage!

Should be good, no?

ETA dang, had Carapaz & Cristen but swapped them out…6/6 in the Top 9 would have been pretty sweet

 

[Nick Vermeil]

The Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec start list for tomorrow is pretty loaded.

Pretty stretched out peloton with 6 km to go

 

[BobbyLayne]

Feels like a Ben Turner day

 

[BobbyLayne]

great lead out by Rickaert & Planckaert (Alpecin)

1. Jasper
2. Mads
3. Aular (Movistar)
4. somebody from Arkea
5. Turner

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Think I missed another 6 race.

Quebec today

Montreal Sunday

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Can’t change riders for either

 

[BassNBrew]

Well it looks like I was the only one foolish enough to pass on Pogocar. Had a gut feeling that Pogo would repay Narvaez for all his hard work at the Tour de France.

This race is absolutely stacked with talent.

With 134 miles you would think they would find some more roads to use.

Really wish we could get a pro tour event in the US on the East Coast. Tour of USA alternating between east coast and west coast would be amazing.

Overall pretty satisfied with 6 of my riders:

• 2193 Jonas (28)
• 1366 Mads (16)
• 795 Pelizzari (10)
• 800 Kuss (8)
• 1271 Vine (8)
• 292 Tulett (6)

3 of the Top 4 riders, 5 in the Top 16.

B.O.C. (131 12 cr) over Ciccone (1044 14 cr) or Gall (932 10 cr) was a death knell - would be contending for the top if I didn’t flub that one.

Also, kudos to anyone who picked Torsten Træn - best value of the Vuelta (655 4 cr), what a steal.
