100th Volta Ciclista a Catalunya(2.UWT) - 22nd March - 28th March

Maybe if cyclist would move one leg over to stand on the pedal with both feet. Maybe one could still tuck successfully and not get penalized?

P.S. But if somebody would throw a plastic pole in the peloton, that is still legal.

Mohoric should not have waited for De Gendt the penultimate time on the descent, he could've easily gained 10 second and then De Gent would have still cought him on the final climb, but maybe not had enough to drop him, and then again attack on the final descent.

Yes it does. It substitutes indoor meetings, and it is not just a bit safer -- it is far, far safer to meet outdoors.



Not in Europe (15 % so far and mostly elders).

That’s actually quite good IMO. You should be thankful. The EU even withheld vaccine shipments bound for Australia. We don’t have such an emergency so we can wait.

Good training ride for A. Yates ahead of a clash with the big boys in Itzulia. His victory here was never in doubt.

I agree. Mohoric more often than not lacks in climbing in those situations (strange for a guy who was 4th in a not so soft version of L-B-L). He gets dropped on the climbs and then has to chase on the descent. Instead of hanging on on the climbs and then attacking on the descent. He should do a MvdP version 2.0. Attack 70km to go but on a descent and never look back. He'll probably get caught again, but if there is another descent, just attack again. Maybe the only rider in the peloton who has in his descending such a strong weapon, much stronger than any other skill.

Yes but De Gendt would have out sprinted him anyway I think. But I agree that it was worth a shot.
