Chad Haga vom Team Sunweb hat, wie schon beim Giro, zu jeder Etappe einen Tweet verfasst und das Geschehen des Tages pointiert und in wenigen Worten zusammengefasst. Das war eines meiner täglichen Highlights. Alle #oversimpLeTour Tweets zum nachlesen ein einem Rutsch:
Stage 1: A boring sprint stage devoid of boredom; in the fight to avoid trouble, some top guys found it while the team that wins the most did it again. #oversimpLeTour — Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 7, 2018
Stage 2: Frenchman who was riding in Le Tour before many of his colleagues were riding bikes tries unsuccessfully to go it alone; the winner trades his rainbow jersey for yellow. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 8, 2018
Stage 3: Teams use their oddest equipment to see who's the best at Follow the Leader, yielding few surprises, but causing some top guys to play the What If? game with stage 1. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 9, 2018
Stage 4: The peloton, fearing the inevitable crash, causes it; some top guys chase while the fast guys take familiar steps on the podium. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 10, 2018
Stage 5: Guy who has made every stage look easy, hills or not, chalks up another one, giving the impression that green is his favorite color of the rainbow. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 11, 2018
Stage 6: Boring part of the race made exciting by wind, then a top guy who had avoided all mishaps had one before the wall, which was climbed fastest by a guy known for doing so. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 12, 2018
Stage 7: Crosswind mayhem made less exciting by lack of crosswinds as the peloton trundled closer to the cobbles. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 13, 2018
Stage 8: It took 40 minutes for some guys to escape (or even try) on a day of déjà vu. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 14, 2018
Stage 9: Small stones create big chaos, pushing some top guys out of the picture figuratively (one literally) as perennial runner-up breaks through. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 15, 2018
Rest day: Another day of riding, eating, and sleeping, but with different durations and intensities. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 16, 2018
Stage 10: Traditionally dominant team, on friendly terrain, did what they do best while the top guy got creative to stay the top guy. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 17, 2018
Stage 11: A couple of top guys tired of looking at whales and rode away with mixed success, leaving us wondering if the top guy is the actually the top guy. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 18, 2018
Stage 12: Hail-Mary thrown by a top guy cracks all but the top guys, who finish in déjà vu fashion amid a huge party while some fast guys fail to finish. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 19, 2018
Stage 13: A tired peloton was content to let the teammates of the few remaining fast guys tow them around until the predictable finish. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 20, 2018
Stage 14: 20% of the peloton had its own race while the remainder took a whale-watching tour toward a painful but relatively uneventful hill. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 21, 2018
Stage 15: Lots of guys spent all day off the front while lots more guys spent half the day off the back as the top guys finished unremarkably in between. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 22, 2018
Rest day 2: Guys try and fail to escape the inescapable questions about the final week, which will either be better or worse, or perhaps the same. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 23, 2018
Stage 16: 100km of leg-burning attacks interrupted by eye-burning attack before winning group escaped while the top guys maintained the status quo. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 24, 2018
Stage 17: An over-hyped start preceded a properly-hyped battle between the top guys on a stage that skipped straight to the good part and gave clarity on the alpha whale quandary. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 25, 2018
Stage 18: Twitter victor victorious on the last chance for the fast guys (until the next chance) while the top guys kept their powder dry for tomorrow's battle. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 26, 2018
Stage 19: Some top fellas lobbed long bombs with limited luck, then the alpha whale attended to all alarming attacks, the underdogs ultimately unable to usurp him. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 27, 2018
Stage 20: Alpha whale remains top dog as a pot of gold is found beneath the rainbow and yesterday's gains became today's losses. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 28, 2018
Stage 21: A parade culminating in bumpy hot laps on a famous cobbled avenue, the fastest guy a first-timer across this particular line. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 29, 2018
Tour de France: The hoped-for duel between the two top guys of the Italian tour came to fruition, but in the end the whale from Wales prevailed over both. #oversimpLeTour— Chad Haga (@ChadHaga) July 29, 2018
Auf cyclingNews schreibt Haga aber auch etwas ausführlicher. Zu seiner Kolumne dort geht es hier entlang.
