The circus has started!

I would like to see him race in the TdF, like he raced after his breakdown in the Vuelta 2023: go for the break, create chaos, try to rip the peloton apart, make it a mano-a-mano early in the race and early in the stages. The full first week of the Tour is perfect for that, and this type of...

So no Pedersen, no van Aert. MvdP can either throw a nuke on Muur (if feeling great) or Bosberg (if feeling a bit meh), and the race is done.

Van Gils fractured his pelvis and will be out for months.

I think Remco went a bit too hard and that finale had some very annoying false flats. He ran a bit out of gas but so did the other ones.

Espoirs is a very good race atm.

He / his team opts to go 100% for the road race prep, after the national championships, so no worlds. edit: stupid me sees now that there were 3 others already saying the same!

I know I wouldn't want anyone in my wheel when training as a pro. It's an (undesired) distraction from training and more importantly, from concentrating on the road and traffic in general. If I follow someone, I ask. If I get followed, I usually don't care but that's just me. Following wheels...

He rode outside today for an hour / 32K.

Having seen some people with approx. the same injury, I'd say that, optimistically, he could be able to put pressure on that ankle / foot within a week and start training rollers again. If not, it could be 1-2 weeks off the bike.

Wyseure without gloves for an hour…!

Toon Aerts, Orts both decent, all others far back.

He’s coming back it seems… probably overstretching but it’s still great to have a race!

That’s it, time to do something else I fear! Edit: the snow makes it still worthwhile to watch.
