It's not huge race, but it's always very entertaining. Last year it was a nice duel between Vingegaard, Mohoric and Onley.
This year Mohoric and Onley are back, along with some other competitors.

Silly fact: If you take Primošten, separates it into the two parts "primo" and "šten", and runs it through Google Translate, you get:

Last year Moho crushed Skeletor in the race so it should be easy peasy this time.

What do I get?

 

[Anderis]

I see that race organisers have made sure that all the big climbs are far from the finish line.

 

[RedheadDane]

What do I get?

It doesn't show the result for you?
You get your first puppy!
(Unless you already have a puppy, then no puppy for you.)

I saw him in front of the cafe just a couple weekends ago, with his very light looking Trek mtb and a coffee.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

RIP Mohoric' GC?

 

[Samamba]

Yeah that's over for Mohoric probably

 

[Lequack]

Crash for Mohoric

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Motorič might still make it back.

 

[Lequack]

Bahrain not sending all their riders back for Moho it seems. Seems the GC is all but over.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Why isn't anyone helping Mohoric? Bahrain should have enough fire power to help him.

 

[Samamba]

Motorič might still make it back.

Literally impossible, or he has to hang onto a car

Miholjevic is.
