Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var
Latest comments
- It was a 90 deg bend with 3+ km left - not even close to final 1km area! She just had bad luck with another rider coming across and taking her out.
- Congrats!
- It just seemed odd that he wouldn't race the V Series like he normally does. I know he raced a V5 on some stages in the Dauphine. I figure he could have received a bonus of some sort for riding it the entire race.
- I was thinking he might win the combativity award because he was on the attack almost every day.
- lol
- The SD Worx-Protime leader?? So much for cycling "up to date"...
- I saw the finish. it was a 90 degree corner. the manager’s comments are the same entitled comments out of his rider - which many in the women’s peloton criticize her for. look at Marlen’s recent comments.
he says everyone wants to be up front, so does Demi. so is the peloton to create a lane special for her so she can be at the front w/no risk? if you want to be at the front, get there. but if you’re not at the front in a 90 degree, that is your teams fault for poor positioning. she wants to be there, yes, but so does everyone else. get over it. she has no more rights than the other women.
- Its a shame when a rider crashes out fir any reason. Sometimes it really seams like the organizers set up some courses and sprint finishes hoping fir a crash because they think that gets more people to watch, like hockey fights and now women basketball fights. The riders need to come together for their safety and protest more
- Yeah, it was also nice to see how after all the rivalry and heat of the moment and mind game comments they all made positive comments about the others. Wouldn’t be surprised if even MVDP sent Wout a congratulation message from his sofa.
- I get all that. it is also hard to compare a rider going for the GC vs stages. Regardless, I think we can all agree - this is a bumper crop of current and up and coming riders. From the current stars of Tadej/MVDP/WVA/Remco/Jonas to the newbies it is so exciting. I have a lot of respect for what Sky did, but it is so fun to see guys actually race bikes.
Yesterday’s stage 21 was insane. Watching Tadej/WVA and the group was like watching a bunch of guys riding for fun. no holds barred, just attack the crap out of each other, then shake hands when it is over. so fun.
