6th AlUla Tour 2026 (27-31 January)

Obviously DQ, but it's not bad for the race to have the favorite 20s down on others.

Good start for the Wanty boys. Rex with a powerful sprint to 4th and Page with a very good lead-out for Fretin.

Would be great if the ones that are now part of the merged team also start well cause the Lotto ones are all injured already

Should've DQ'ed him

One rule for those with too much money, and one rule for everyone else.

20s is too little. Would be a more interesting race dynamics with 40s

He still needs to solo on Skyview now I think, can't just win on boni's. That's a significant difference.

But yeah 30 or 40 would be better.

We also don't know how fit he's gonna be after the crash

That was a disappointing sprint by Bauhaus, gaviria and jakobsen. They were nowehere to be seen at the finish.

Surprised he ended up only losing that much. No one must have gone all out after that second crash. That or something else happened as suggested on some previous posts.

Glad I didn’t keep Jakobsen in my CQ team. That would have been maddening to see him make a front echelon and look strong then manage to get dropped in the last km and score no points.

At least he has only 11 points to defend. But yeah, it wasn't ideal. I don't think he would have been able to make a front echelon at all last year, so there may have been a tiny improvement.
