2016 Paris - Nice, March 6th - 13th, WT

[StryderHells]

Was that Impey bringing Contador back?

 

[Andro]

Thomas looks tired. If only there were some real mountains in this race.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Thomas is either riding smart or in trouble. Also, WTF is Impey doing?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Must say I like Thomas much more as a classics specialist. Atleast he had just a little panache when he won E3.

 

[Rollthedice]

No way for Bertie. Zaka might have a chance though.

 

[Andro]

So is Richie just gonna follow wheels and be happy with 4th place?

 

[IndianCyclist]

thomas is cooked

Was great to watch in GW last year too. This version of G is just boring to watch

Looks tired to me but so does Contador so unless LRP or Zakarin go I think he'll hold on

 

[TourOfSardinia]

some entertainment here

Henao stronger on the climbs than Thomas

There's actually way too much mountain for a Paris-Nice, which is meant to be a prep race for Milan-Sanremo. You, folks, are never happy. If I were designing the route, you wouldn't even have a Cat.2 climb! Besides we are in early March and you do know that most mountain passes are impracticable.

That I agree with

 

[Miburo]

*** henao man, he won this race for thomas

 

[Eclipse]

Henao = MVP

 

[The Blues]

Zakarin and Porte needs to attack GT as well. That could crack him. If Contador is the only top-5 rider to go, Henao can close down the attacks. with the gradual accelerations.

Tirenno is supposed to be the prep race for MSR. Not PN

Always hard to tell if a Sky rider is tired since they close the gap in the same way however they feel.

He is starting to look tired, his attacks are lacking real bite

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Good to Jeannesson up there having so nearly retired.

 

[Orbit501]

This is fantastic racing! Bert had exploded the race and now it's a free for all for attacks on Eze.
Loving this. Chapeau to Tinkov and Bert.
I have no particular favorite riders, just great to see a full on race.

 

[maltiv]

Sky once again ruining races by having 2 of the 5 strongest climbers in a race, so that their designated leader literally never will have to put his nose in the wind.

 

[DNP-Old]

Checho once again looks like he's the strongest man in the race.

 

[HelloDolly]

Majka also a good dom for Contaor but but not as good as Henao is for Thomas
