I think you've made your point by now.

65kg is not a confirmed number by himself or his team. It's Belgian newspaper HLN who is saying 'according to our info he's weighing 65kg'. While they are more right than wrong when it comes to info about Remco (they seem to have good inside info), they don't always get it right. So I wouldn't...

Can we expect some action today even before the climbs? This is wat Berniece's AI wrote in the opening post about this stage: "The first 100 kilometers passing through Algorfa, Guardamar del Segura, and Santa Pola are susceptible to crosswinds and high speeds, potentially thinning the pack...

I have all of Evenepoel, Vlasov and Vacek in my team. While this is the best possible result on the day, the neutralization is (at least potentially) very bad with regards to the GC situation and prospects. But maybe they do it all over again on Saturday and the three of them ride into the...

New best time after new best time now at the intermediate. Vacek in the lead.

Looks like Sheffield hasn't crashed yet.

Yeah, a win is still a win. Even if it doesn't make sense risk-wise, he'll still ride with that World Champs jersey (I guess) and hopefully still wants to show who's the best at this. I mean, it would kinda taint his TT palmares if suddenly there would be a 46th spot in between all those top...

Almeida not going for the stage victory. Might be interesting to see which of the favorites actually will.

That one boni second Remco took yesterday might become quite important for the rest of the race after all.

I guess today's TT neutralization already negates a little bit of that luck (at least in this race). He can ofcourse still challenge for a good GC but that would have been a lot easier with a strong TT. It's also not good news for Evenepoel owners as a GC win is definitely not that clear cut...

Could they maybe push it back a bit or is the wind going to stay (too) strong throughout the whole afternoon?

Advantage Evenepoel for starting late and having reference times. vs Advantage Almeida for (probably) being able to overtake a rider (Marti Pau). Romeo (with Askey) and Sheffield (with Lastra) also have the possible advantage of overtaking a rider while that seems difficult or even impossible...

Evenepoel apparently took a bonification second. That should guarantee him a late TT start tomorrow if he just stays with the peloton. He doesn't have to bother anymore to try to stay in the front of the peloton at the finish.

If McNulty starts he's definitely someone to be reckoned with indeed and he could form a strong duo with Almeida. He's not yet on the startlist on PCS but I see that UAE's team hasn't been confirmed yet.

I don't know if you're deliberately saying other names but I would assume AmRacer is talking about Pogacar winning whenever he's riding with the Slovenian National Team.
