This guy is hilarious good. Beating Jan Christen on a 2,4km 7,8% hilly finish while close to Maxim Van Gils is crazy. He will win a lot in the future.

Doesnt matter at all. Pogacar, Vingegaard and even Evenepoel are so much stronger than the other guys that the helpers wont be much relevant. Their job is just to control the rest of the field and there UAE is strong enough without any doubt. In the end Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel will...

For me, right now he is with some distance the highest hope to become the next french Tour de France winner.

Just noticed that Zambanini is in the front group. Should be one of the fastest.

Why the hell is Pithie attacking? This should be a race he is able to finish top 10 from the main field. Very weird again how Bora uses him.

Great startlist. Philipsen, Magnier, Welsford, Pithie, Matthews, Andresen, Vernon, Garcia Cortina and the local guys Ackermann, Teutenberg and Kanter for a sprint. Cort, Adria, Aranburu, Nys, Morgado, Powless, Wellens, Hirschi, Alaphilippe, Teuns, Stephen Williams, Velasco or again a local with...

Question for the future: Would it be possible to use cq-ranking from a bit prior to the event? I have a limited amount of time these days and others surely too, so using the ranking from 4 days prior the start of the event is a bit suboptimal in my eyes. I think it wouldnt change a lot to use...

Vingegaard now favourite to win Le Tour.

Narvaez and Wellens out. Major blow for Pogacars Ardennes.

Well, last week MVdP looked stronger than Pogacar for a long time in the race and finally got cooked. Pogacar has now already shown that he can drop Philipsen. The harder the race is driven the more it suits Pogacar. MVdP looks like the favourite right now but Mons-et-Pevele and Carrefour de...

Longo Borghini abandoned. Wiebes seems hurt too.

Impressive ride today by him. Looking forward to Itzulia, Amstel, Fleche and Liege. Will be interesting what he is able to manage in those races. Maybe the one with the best chance to beat Pogacar at Amstel or Fleche.

My personal dark horse: Laurence Pithie.

Just looking for excuses in advance in case that Pogacar wont make it at this years MSR. I am starting to hope that Ayuso is crushing at this years Giro just to get him quiet. No idea why he is given a platform like this. Bad behaviour, bad attitude.

A guy that finished the race 12th, 5th, 4th and 3rd doesnt need to change much in his approach. It is just not such a decisive race that a rider like him can expect to get away and win every time like in other races. Last year he was very close and had a gap that probably no one else than MVdP...
