[elguapo]

Today's race is the baptism of fire for Hector Alvarez if he has already returned to his form in 2024. This kid is always jolly, unlike the seriousness of Ayuso and Rodriguez.

 

[Rob5091]

Team Remco did the biz but good showing by Movistar.

 

[Faserr]

Lipo isn't starting. He was mentioning yesterday that he has a cough.

 

[Cycling111]

Movistar has released yesterday's inside , and during Enric Mas's relief they significantly reduced their pace. Perhaps with another rouleur, they could have surprised Red Bull.

Even in his best form he would be a liability in a TTT. And according to him he is racing to regain shape, but the plan is to be ready in Catalunya.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big chance today and tomorrow for riders to snatch the 'clown of the month' award at the last minute from this rounds heavy favourite Jan Christen.

It will be said many times about Pogacar, Vingegaard, Van Der Poel throughout the season but for now, anyone trying to go pull for pull with Evenepoel, who seems to be in great shape, deserves the loss they're going to suffer as a result.

Last climb isn't that hard, could be that Evenepoel isn't able to drop you, and you win the sprint from him

 

[Potomac]

With Carapaz out, EF started 6 riders. per PCS start list

I think he will try on Col de Marc Soler from 60k out, but I've just checked and apparently they have the kids out today+Denz, so the leadout might be a problem.

Apparently those kids are collectively on the attack right now.

Right on time for the livestream to start then

 

[Rou]

Remco will launch soon. A good day to test the engine.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Finn crashed apparently, not good

 

[Rou]

Remco went.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Remco attack! Morgado following, good awareness and positioning.

 

[Samamba]

Remco has started

 

[Tim Cahill]

Morgado can't follow but Pericas can, nice one

 

[Tricycle Rider]

We have live pictures and they're halfway through Col de Marc Soler, Remco in the break with 55km to go

 

[Samamba]

He can't drop Pericas #washed

 

[Salvarani]

Impressive from Pericas

 

[Rou]

He can't drop Pericas #washed

Nah, I think Pericas is showing what he will become. Remco dropped Morgado like a sack.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Remco you aren't gesticulating hard enough
