Will they choose the right side of the roundabout in the Lagos stage???

They should get Ganna to explain the correct route to everyone.

Meanwhile, Trek: "Oi! Héctor, stop fooling around getting results for the Spanish National team. Get over here; we need you!"

Can't wait to see Seixas in action in a stage race again. I'm also curious to see how Widar fares. His debut in Figuera was promising.

Pretty great lineup of riders. With a lot of decent sprinters as well as GC riders. I think Ayuso will take it, because neither mountain stage is hard enough, he has a decent sprint and out of the GC candidates he might have the best TT.

Maybe McNulty. But finishes at Foia and Malhao are better for Ayuso.

Widar vs Seixas vs Alvarez for the White Jersey.

It’s a really interesting field for this race and one that fits the parcours nicely for a close and unpredictable race.

Hope to see Seixas confirm he has had a great winter and ready to kick on without any second season syndrome blues.

Ayuso/Onley/Vauqelin on new teams and looking to start off well.

anyone but a uae rider, please.
