why is team Qhubeka is riding with 6 riders?

Are you sure? I don't think the Rally Cycling team are in this race (nor Robin Carpenter). I could be wrong though.

In any case we'll find out about the weather situation soon enough when we get the usual pre-race updates on the Twitter pages & Instagram from the rest of the teams/organizer.

Ah you are right, I wasn't paying attention. The pic is from the stage of tomorrow's Scheldeprijs one day race in Belgium. So snow in Belgium, I think only cloudy and rainy in the Basque country today.

Lequack pulling your noses with a good old fashioned late april fools.

Quinten Hermans back to road racing after almost 8 months and already in the break. Nice.

Pogi should go thermonuclear 100 km from the finish and then rest until the Tour de France.

 

[Pinot's goat]

It's still Pogacar weather.

 

[SafeBet]

Everything is Pogacar weather. The kid has been dominating cycling for almost two years now, I've seen him win under torrential rain, in the cold, middle eastern suffocating heat, wind, no wind, fog, dust, you name it. Perhaps an asteroid hitting him during a race would stop him, but I'm not 100% confident about that either.

And I was already about to write "just the same here", but since we aren't that far from Belgium it was no wonder.

TJV surviving the rain-jacket-weather so far. Bora stands prepared to start pushing, just in case.

Time to attack Roglic today.

The muro on stage 3 is what Roglic has been waiting for.

 

[Frankschleck]

is todays stage to hard for Magnus cort?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

is todays stage to hard for Magnus cort?

It will depend on how they'll ride the La Asturiana climb, but if he's still near the front in the finale, he's in with a chance.

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

Loving the Movistar tactics. I wonder if they'll have a top10 finisher today.

 

[Bushman]

is todays stage to hard for Magnus cort?

He might survive, however I dont think he has the punch to beat Roglic etc. in the final ramp. If the finish was a bit easier, I’d give him a proper chance

 

[sir fly]

Kirby has a sister...

 

[SafeBet]

is todays stage to hard for Magnus cort?

I don't think he's EF best bet for a good placement today.

Loving the Movistar tactics. I wonder if they'll have a top10 finisher today.

No love for Bala? He looked decent in the last couple of weeks.

When Kirby retiring plz

 

[BlueRoads]

Great signalling.
