Challenge Mallorca 2024 (January 24-28)

[DNP-Old]

15:10: Movistar to the front with four riders.
15:12 Movistar giving up the chase.

15:13 Leader Artaburu crashes.

 

[Netserk]

Who's the UAE rider near the front of the peloton?

Aranburu down.

 

[Salvarani]

Aranburu crashed.

Pain in shoulder, maybe a collarbone break.

 

[Samamba]

Arietta actually with a pretty big gap now. 40 seconds already.

 

[DNP-Old]

Man, I love Movistar so much. Never change.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Oh, crop in a hat. I hope it's Aramburu who crashed, and that Aranburu is still in the race.

 

[Netserk]

It's Romo who was at the front for Movistar.

 

[Netserk]

Martin? and Cattaneo briefly with a gap.

 

[Netserk]

Wandahl has gone clear.

 

[Netserk]

Movistar still chasing. Wandahl has been caught.

 

[scribers]

Can Igor stay away? Impressively holding the gap with all that mass chasing

 

[Netserk]

Vlasov counters. That was a weak punch.

 

[Samamba]

Vlasov counters. That was a weak punch.

It's like 4% there's no one in this peloton apart from maybe McNulty who can make a difference on that

 

[DNP-Old]

This might be in the bag for Igor. McNulty and Soler killing everything.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Early season clownshow

 

[Netserk]

It's like 4% there's no one in this peloton apart from maybe McNulty who can make a difference on that

It was steeper than that when Wandahl was caught.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It isn't going fast enough if sponsor baby Palzer is in second wheel, let alone when nobody is pulling the other half of the time.

 

[Rob5091]

Will someone chase?

 

[Samamba]

The only team who can is UAE. Arietta has this one in the bag I think.

Or there has to be a team like EF or QS thats waiting to pass the climbs for their sprinter.

 

[ingsve]

Someone needs to do a follow up attack of off one of these attacks in the peloton to break things up.

 

[Salvarani]

They are just attacking.

But I dont think Arrieta looks like he has much left.

Might recover on the descent though.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The only team who can is UAE. Arietta has this one in the bag I think.

The section after the descent proper is really disadvantageous for a solo rider, but 30 seconds would be enough there so something definitely needs to happen if Arrieta is to be caught.

 

[Samamba]

So Lamperti is probably still there as QS is chasing now?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Soudal hate classics so much now that even Lampaert is becoming a climber.

 

[Samamba]

No one can follow LVE, but he probably rather had someone strong with him
