You know that's from last year right?

 

[Climbing]

Oh man epicness in the making?!

 

[Nirvana]

There is no stream before 14:00?
I know that Raisport starts 10 minutes earlier but will be the De Stefano talk show so we need to wait for Eurosport.

Re: Re:

No, I didn't, since it was just posted on my timeline.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Race already split

 

[Asero831]

This is really a baby monument

 

[Rollthedice]

A group of 70 riders have 30 sec over the rest of the bunch.

 

[Nirvana]

A new Montalcino in the making.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

And no images until 13:50 on eurosport player. F.... my life

 

[Climbing]

*** RAI not showing this!

 

[Samamba]

Let's guess, how many riders will finish?

 

[DNP-Old]

The gap between the large leading group of 70 riders widens to 2m 30s in front of the rest of the peloton.

I agree that the UCI has to find a solution for the SB, PN debacle.These are basically two races which both suit the same kind of riders. The guys who ride SB can still go to tirreno adriatico but I think paris nice actually suits someone like sagan more. Could you maybe make PN one day shorter? Cause there isn't really any weekend in spring where you could move SB without other date clashes

Shortening a classic stage race like P-N for this overhyped hipster race? You must be kidding. SB can move to the a midweek date without any problem.

SB has moved into the realm where it is the hipsters that see it as an "overhyped hipster race".

Spot-on

 

[Gigs_98]

And we have no coverage for two more hours.

That's game over for the others probably

Half of the bunch DNF after one sector

Basically the perfect race for Wout van Aert now.

Does he have his Rhino's on?

I think it's the gap to the breakaway, not between two pelotons.
Edit: so apparently there are no breakaway...

There is no breakaway. The group of 70 is the 'breakaway'.

 

[Roude Leiw]

When does the first tv station go live? Eurosport? RAI?

 

[Rollthedice]

Anyway, Sky in front of the first group.
