    That’s been Hy CAU we’re all together the big boys are back at the front IG looks around can’t have too much left here his teammate Martinez in the blue jersey ready waiting on the back wheel of AOL are we going to have a repeat of

    What we saw the other day at the top of the alto deya this is the malal it’s steeper it’s shorter and seus is there are thereabouts ready yellow Jersey on his back tratnik who’s currently on the podium in the GC standings there as well he’s taken four bonus seconds already

    Today Healey still at the front and he’s going to push on again tries to take advantage of any looking around yeah I think he’s thinking General classification as well because he could be moving up as well um but and now we got to move it’s Martinez Martinez at

    The front followed by a naol who can Follow the answer for the minute is nobody I’m just looking at EV what’s he waiting on he he’s clearly on a good day he’s waiting for just the moment to to go for this stage he knows that Martinez has got a better Sprint than them uh Sprint

    At the top of these clim always very very difficult but I think EV Paul was just playing it cool at the moment it’s only a matter of time before he decides to put the pressure on and go I think he has to Remco has the general classification

    Sorted it’s his race in the bag he will win for the third time an equal Belo Silva’s record now we got to move from the back it looks like it might be scaroni into the final kilometer Christian scaroni with quite the ride from Asana Kazakhstan Ed Paul he just looks so

    Nonent he’s just sitting there what’s he waiting on and another move now this time on the right hand side and it looks like it’s FIS M Lisa by seus with his style he’s being followed by Tom pitcock but can pick cck go all the way cus is here tracknick still on the

    Wheel of eveno quick finisher as well and pitock climbing on what seems to be a climb he absolutely loves he won here last year remember and in your scrad ear haven’t had the greatest of weeks no disaster either but if Pitcock could win here that would mean a very very good

    Exercise in the algar for them they’re coming up towards the Finish now less than half a kilometer to go and again the game’s been once more he he still there in the middle this is cus now tracknick is coming around on this inside as well ready to launch ready to go even scaroni

    And behind the playing catch up that is gagen Hart Mado fighting all the way but it’s a pretty calm finish after a fireworks filled stage so far surely it has to explode one more time because the finish line is in sight we’re coming to 250 M to go now Martinez

    In the blue it gets easier to the top remember the hardest gradients out the way as they come over this lip now it’s sepkus leading them Yan tratnik on the wheel then in the red you have Tom pitock the British rider in the blue Danny Martinez who’s already won one

    Stage this week and the yellow ready and now making his move is Remco evap who wants to finish off in style and it looks so easy for him doesn’t it rco Ino goes but Martinez is threatening him again in third place at the minute they come around with a finish foul now

    In sight and behind you can see them dropped already R is out the game here it’s Martinez once again though who’s going to have the beating of Remco iapo once more inapo behind him Danny Martinez to Wi his second stage of the week it seems Here Comes Martinez in the

    Blue 75 M from the line 5050 25 Martinez has it he doubles up secures second place and beide in the yellow a the Paul is beaten on the stage but he the overall winner for the third time in his career at the volgar on a stage where Vima Lisa bike

    And EF education easy post gave everything once again it was Bora hre who helped Quick Step to bring the back back and it is Bora Hans taking their second stage of the week no overall win for Martinez Brian but he’s taken two stages and he’s just shown that eveno

    Can’t be quite as confident maybe as you might think in those finishes something maybe for Primo RIT to sit at home and have a good look at

    1. Remco complaining he's stuck on big chainring and saying he could easily have won it if he was able to shift smaller ring, while martinez himself sprinted in big chain ring….this guy never humbled himself and can't just accept defeat

    2. I have been thinking about today stage. And know it's 'just' Algarve. But i feel it proves that Visma is not quite the juggernaut of days gone past. Imagine if we get the exact same race scenario we got today. Van Aert still a relative danger for GC going up the road. But instead of Tratnik and Kuss sitting pretty in the peloton whilst you soup up your team. You have Kuss and Vingegaard or Kuss and Roglic sitting behind you. Just from a mental perspective this would put a great deal of pressure on the race leader. I respect Tratnik but he ain't Roglic or Vingegaard.

    3. Remco mi dispiace ,ma parte sempre troppo prima e spreca energie per la volata ,mi sembra ancora molto inesperto ! Poi dice dipo l'arrivo che latro era più veloce di lui..,ma se gli tira la volata ci credo e che cavolo!!! Secondo me6se avesse fatto un po di pista e qualche sei giorni d'inverno come facevano i campioni come Merckx,Saronni e Moser,lui avrebbe vinto il doppio delle corse che a sprecato perché parte troppo prima e deve anche dedicare del tempo alle volate ,le corse a cronometro sono poche e gli arrivi in solitaria te li lasciano nelle corsette,nelle gare importanti ,come la.sanremo, il.giro di lombardia non ti ladciano andare via cosi facilmente con corridori del calibro di Pogachiar e Mattieu van der poel ecc .ecc ,bravo ma deludente nel.finale in volata come sempre e non è completo…,peccato perché io faccio il tifo per lui da anni🤦🤦🤷🙏❤️❤️❤️

    4. A few considerations about Remco.

      CATALUNYA 2023:
      stage 1) started the sprint too late. stage 3) sprinted too early, blown up in the final 50 metres, Ciccone wins.
      stage 5: sprints too early, blown up in the final 100 metres

      VUELTA 2023. Stage x) sprinted too early in the Xorret stage, after having pulled for like 4 km. Outsprinted by Roglic.
      stage y) Started the sprint too late, he passed Woods immediayely after the finish line.

      3) ALGARVE 2024: started the sprint at 200/300 m two times, blown up in the final 100metres.

      It's clear that he is not tactically aware of his possibility. Maybe his sprint is not so good anyways, but this lack of smartness makes him severely underperform in nearly every sprint.
      That being said: his trainers have a BIG responsibility. You cannot let an athlete make the same mistake over and over again.
