They were not allowed to ride on the TT-bikes I thought? So in that case it would have just been a 20+ minutes test on his regalur equipment which might not add too much value for him.

Looking forward to (not) seeing some of the youngsters here. Gruel is particularly interesting for me to watch as I can see him having a big breakthrough this year and he has some stages that might suit him. Also interested to see how Pablo Torres will perform. He looked decent in setting up...

Even though he didnt win in the end I think this solo was a very good sign from him. He is clearly a good climber, but yesterday was another sign that he also has a good engine outside of the mountains. I wouldnt be surprised if he still has a lot of margin left and I see him contending for GT...

Yeah at 20 years old he should have had life figured out entirely and should have known exactly what kind of approach would fit him the best.

Nice to see guys like Morgado, Pericas, Kulset and Rondel in the mix. Cant be bothered with a lot of appreciation for a Remco solo in this level of race.

Agreed, FFB looked reasonable on the climb at first but than he broke completely. I think in normal shape the guys you mentioned should be more competitive than they were today. Sucks, because the race is already over now heading into Willunga.

That was some impressive speed on the kid, who had to come from far back.

Yeah likeability of this team also went down the drain in one year for me. Really liked Trek in the past. With a core of Pedersen, Milan, Skjelmose, Ciccone and up and coming guys like Nys, AWP and Vacek they were doing really nicely. The Gee-West but especially the Ayuso buyout do not really...

He could have made the decision before Visma decided to let Cian go. 😂

Dont think Haig or Zana have a very good chance of winning either. Eetvelt does reserve a mention though and maybe Ronnie as well after last year.

Thats the big question. He won on similar terrain in Norway, but Willunga is a bit harder and with more competition. I think in form he can definitely survive stage 2. But stage is a big question mark even in very good shape for now. Will be interesting too see for sure.

Its the last time he can do San Remo as a captain probably, so smart choice. 😉

Yes in 2027

Skjelmose to Uno-X would be lovely

Looks like a very nice parcours compared to all recent years. So my guess is that it is too good to be true, and people here will be very disappointed again once the actual route is presented.
