Challenge Mallorca 2024 (January 24-28)

[Samamba]

Finish is in a descent, going to be weird sprint if it is one.

 

[Netserk]

They continue to roll through in front. But surely none of them are confident with that kind of finish?

 

[DNP-Old]

Nerurkar and Romeo back too.

 

[Potomac]

I have to confess Van Eetvelt has been completely off my radar.

Yeah, but I doub't they can drop eachother on this. No idea who's gonna win this.

 

[Netserk]

I'm surprised McNulty doesn't attack after Vlasov has finished his pull. Soon too late.

 

[Rob5091]

Looks like McNulty has something left in his pocket in case he gets the cramps again.

 

[Netserk]

Yeah, but I doub't they can drop eachother on this. No idea who's gonna win this.

Do you think Van Eetvelt can challenge Vlasov here?

 

[Potomac]

once again the camera spends far too much time showing a meaningless group because there is a movistar rider.

 

[Potomac]

I don't keep track of who has a strong sprint and who doesn't, but two days ago Vlasov was supposedly going to smoke the sprint at the end but Carr beat him.

Of course the chase group - and attacks in it - is not meaningless.

 

[Samamba]

Do you think Van Eetvelt can challenge Vlasov here?

No idea, I actually think he would have a chance on a flat finish as he isn't slow, but this one will be tricky. Will be more tactical and he doesn't have the experience. He isn't the best descender either.

The chase is too far back to provide drama.

 

[Netserk]

Voisard with a proper gap.

 

[Netserk]

McNulty leads the descent, but he is probably the worst descender in front.

I think Vlasov will take it from front, going past Brandon at the kite.

 

[Samamba]

They are acting like Voisard is in first.

 

[DNP-Old]

Lennert!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

He has arrived in earnest!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Eetvelt used to be more of a puncher than a climber and has gradually turned more into a climber. No surprise.

 

[Berniece]

Nice win from Van Eetvelt

 

[Rob5091]

Lenny wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The battle of the Lenny's begins!

 

[Netserk]

Vlasov lost by being last and not starting the sprint. I thought it'd be a much faster finish.

 

[Berniece]

Vlasov lost by being last and not starting the sprint. I thought it'd be a much faster finish.

Did he? Felt that he just wasn't as good as Van Eetvelt. It's not like he was coming closer in the last 10m.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Also, is it me or has Vlasov lost sprint speed compared to previous years? You would expect him to win at least one of the two sprints he's been involved in this week.
