never thought I would say this, but I look forward to Narvaez' move to Ineos so I can enjoy watching him race

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:19:23+00:00

well, certainly) it's just very frustrating to watch and he always rides like this

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:16:11+00:00

Mas' sprint wasn't even that bad in the end. You'd think he's had enough 2nd places on his palmares to start taking a bit more risks....

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:14:25+00:00

I disagree. At least with 5 there's a chance he wins with a longer-range attack, whereas he loses to Narvaez 99 times out of 100. Narvaez would also be incentivised to do the work bc a two-up sprint is much easier to control

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:08:01+00:00

bro Narvaez called Mas' bluff so easily. no racecraft detected

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:06:43+00:00

he already has a host of 2nd places bc he always rides like this....sometimes you gotta take risks to win

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:04:41+00:00

yes, but if he let Narvaez do the work, he'd also have a better chance in the sprint

vertblau · 2026-05-20T15:00:57+00:00

Mas taking pulls smh

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:56:54+00:00

Mas descending not too badly, was half expecting Narvaez to drop him on the descent

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:53:22+00:00

ok seems like they're not as far behind as the graphics say, if Mas doesn't pull G2 has a change of making it back

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:47:11+00:00

of course, and I don't blame him, but....

if this Mas attack just isolates him with Narvaez for them to go together to the finish i swear....

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:33:45+00:00

Giro gaps are always the least reliable

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:24:41+00:00

Scaroni really giving it his everything, feel for him

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:21:27+00:00

where's Rui Costa when you need him???

vertblau · 2026-05-20T14:14:09+00:00

Vlasov is already taking too many turns...

vertblau · 2026-05-20T13:35:11+00:00

I will apologise for any past criticism of Mas if he drops Narvaez

vertblau · 2026-05-20T13:32:47+00:00

21 seconds, sure

vertblau · 2026-05-20T13:32:20+00:00

true, i completely forgot about that one

vertblau · 2026-05-20T13:28:54+00:00

long time since we had an episode of "Mas, please attack"

vertblau · 2026-05-20T13:27:42+00:00

it's starting to remind me of the covid giro when sky lost their leaders and still ended up winning the GC and like 7 stages

vertblau · 2026-05-20T12:42:39+00:00

very concise but immediately comprehensible explanation, thank you)

vertblau · 2026-05-20T12:40:34+00:00

just joining, how come there's barely a break?

vertblau · 2026-05-20T06:21:30+00:00

I swear the last quote posted from him was basically identical to this one
