    Reckon Demi was at a better level in this stage last year. I really want to watch her in stage three.

    Hope the weather is OK, so they can do Col de Lore.

    I will go crazy If i see another split on a descent before the final climb. It happens too often!

    Think the peleton has forgotten the live coverage has started!

    Think Almeria is about the most boring race of the year. And the scenery is poor.

    You have nothing to worry about when you win 95 races and without a top notch sprinter.

    Teams & Riders Scaroni is not the next Scarponi, but he is riding for the team led by Vino - The Christian Scaroni Thread

    I didn't realise that he was dropped on Green Mountain and brought back by Rodriguez.

    They were never going to win the GC.

    I agree with Plapp's consistency which I've been banging on forever, however, the tactics employed today to win the stage were fine. The team is out there to win, not to finish 2nd or third.

    Plapp's mistake was that he attacked too late. he needed to attack inside the last 1km, seeing the final flattened somewhat in the last 150 metres. I will add that Plapp spoke to both Schmid and Double during the climb so you can only assume tactics were discussed.

    Nothing wrong with Jayco's tactics. Schmid was never getting up Green Mountain while Double was not good enough.

    I was at the ground at the TDU and Molano's sprinted sucked. There were hardly top notch sprinters at the TDU.

    Molano should have won that sprint but got blocked in until too late. he is sprinting much better than at the TDU.

    Their Aussie season was fine, although they would have swapped one of their victories in Oman for Australia. On the other hand, their Alula Tour was disastrous. Checking results in OZ and the team hasn't won a stage of the TDU since 2023 which is a worry
