    Just in case FYI, Thibau Nys is not only a 'sprinter', but also an upcoming cyclo-crosser. He is the son of (in Belgium) famed Sven Nys, a two time world champion cyclo-crosser.

    Great as always, sensei Chris. But it should be said -- 21-year old Thibau Nys, like MVP, WVA, Tom Pidcock and Quinten Hermans, is a 'cross rider, in fact, the son of 'cross legend Sven Nys. Here he was boxed out, squeezed against the barriers twice, and had to take the (very) long way around, and still crushed two very good riders. These 'cross stars are great bike handlers and do well in cold and rainy weather. I think you'll be talking about him again before the year is done.

      Yep, watch him next wednesday in the one day World Tour race in Germany. 100% sure that he will sprint for the victory in the Eschborn-Frankfurt classic.... Since last year that classic knows more ellevation and is not per se a pure sprinters classic anymore.... But a kid like Nys can climb quite well and has a fine sprint..... I do have him in my top ten for next week, and who knows what more is possible ? ✌

      Actually also Vendrame is not really your typical sprinter. :-D More like a ... mediocre sprinter and a mediocre climber? Kind of like Magnus Cort Nielsen in these two regards, but just a little bit less. He has shown these kind of efforts on medium mountain stages in the Giro before when he was going on the attack. Just rarely you seem him sprinting these days. Only on days with reduced groups/sprinters present like on stage 1 here.
      Wasn't that surprising yesterday, but very good. :) Quality rider.

    • @swissbiggy
      @swissbiggy Месяц назад +1

      @@1dree1 Yes that's true. I have played him quite often in a number of cycling games, in those Hilly sprint stages.... Always for position 4 up and until position 12.
      On a good day he can even ride podium or maybe even fight for the win, but that depends a bit who else is also competing.
      In those smaller (French Cup) races you can write him down for a good result for sure, but in World Tour level races he needs a good day.
      But he brings experience too, which has quite some value for those young guns like for example Valentin Paret-Peintre or Lapeira. ✌️

    To me there's nothing better then seeing the break away taking the W but there's one thing tagt tops that is seeing a sprint win on a climb from the brake away take the W. What a great stage.
    And what's made this race fun watching is listening to the commentator laugh at his own jokes and just talking about random stuff. Great job, The Hornet..😂.

    Those Swiss road surfaces are incredibly smooth, because they spec deeper layers of road-base and asphalt/macadam; this deluxe stretch to Martigny (site of a wild exotic antique car museum) 😅 is a road I only did two or three times, as the longest "flat" ride possible from Genève suburbs; from Hermance to Martigny was +/- 95km each way; 190km round-trip 🎉
    So another "Tour Stage" under the belt. 😂
    It was a fun stage to watch with knucklecramps and Plapp riding like a Pantani up that last 4km.
    Thanks, Garrett, for helping Pops look good. 🎉🎉

    Also starting to appreciate these smaller races that the current big names (Page 1) do not attend. Or is that due to the recent injuries or upcoming races that have caused some of the big names not to participate? In any case, good to hear some familiar names Yates, and other older riders that are still out there riding.

      Romandie can get some of the top riders from time to time but more often it’s like this because the top have gone on vacation after the classics finished. Unless the Giro is on the their program. 👊🦋

      Good question. The racing is starting heat up so every team is fighting for a good position at the front of the peloton to avoid their leader getting stuck in the back and missing a split causing them to use more energy later. 👊🦋
