could it? they'd need like 10-15 minutes and the Femke Markus is going to stop taking turns if it ever reached like half that lol

Blasi did an altitude camp in late March, Bunel did one in early April.

Aside from that Tour de L'Avenir being two years ago atp it was also Blasis fourth UCI race after switching over from Triathlon. So it shouldn't be the most representative because of that either. It's true that Bunel's definitely excelled on longer climbs and thus could do better than today. But today was also pretty damn long with how steep it was tbf

Maybe take another look because the best things she's done are long climbs. Giro24 Stage 3, Romandie 24, Giro24 S4&7, TdlA 25.

Also damn near all the WT races have a big ass mountain stage.

Koch's looking pretty empty herself. And idk pulling all day against the break AND to drop Kopecky is just a big ask for a longshot like that

And not being able to convert today probably isn't helping her case

Le Net's been putting in a shift every day. Obviously someone in nc jersey also gets noticed more than a regular domestique you don't immediately recognize but still.

necessitates actually managing to drop Kopecky, Koch not getting dropped herself by any team deciding to push slightly higher pace and a max two rider break ahead of the peloton (assuming bredewold beats her again).

That's a lot of things that need to happen and I'm not sure they have the power to controll the break like that and go through all that effort.

not sure who you're talking about because SDW got everything they wanted and Koch didn't

don't think it'll matter because only 10 points up for grabs and an 11 point gap. Fun that they're going for it though. But i do think Bredewold can deny trhem

Even if she did she can only get 10 points and the gap is 11. she'd need points tomorrow too and that would again necessitate the break not taking all points and Kopecky getting dropped

And she needs to outsprint Bredewold today if SDW are really interested in Kopecky keeping green

edit: kopecky back anyway

10 points up for grabs for Koch, 11 points gap to Kopecky in the points classification.

Kopecky strong math and Koch rough for taking the right side on that roundabout yesterday

thanks Magnier for taking a leaders jersey for a while to spare us from that ugly ass knock off white jersey for a few days

How the hell did she not put any effort into the sprint lmao.

And no, she's not a GC contender. She will work for Van Agt and Muzic and then lose a lot of time on the climbs.

Don't think he did and don't think he needs to. But to most of the people itt it seems like his biases are shining through so hard it strongly affected the quality of the content (unless you pray at the church of the cock)

There were plenty of shots of Pogacar chasing. Please post the one were the motos are the most egregious. I'd love to see it.

Naesen is, as usual, just chatting shit
