Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

Why Remco doesn't want to ride in the same conditions as rogla and jonas? What happened?

I think he meant that Landa is the first SDQ rider to start, and between Roglic and Vingegaard, while Remco is starting 2nd in the team, but I guess it's for more insight.

But Remco didn’t choose when he starts.....i think it's the organization who decides the time every rider goes.
I didn’t understood the statement "remco not wanting to ride in the same conditions".

14.22 Bilbao
14.23 Ayuso
14.30 Roglic
14.32 Vingegaard
14.47 McNulty
14.57 Evenepoel

Broadcast goes live at ....... 15.30. Great.

Was the same thing in Tirreno-Adriatico. The startlist should be by the UCI list (from button to the top) so all the stars are in the end!

Look at the start list posted above for tomorrow and considering the weather will be changing half a hour could make a difference.

And i just remembered you posted 3 pictures of kids in the big 6 thread and on top of that i wrote Vamos Rogla just after realizing the race is to be held in Basque Country. So i guess i should instead said Go! Go! Goazen Rogla.

Oh, I thought it was the teams who decided that, weird..

[CyclistAbi]

AFAIK the team decides but feel free to correct me if that is not the case.

Edit:

For the prologue, or if the first stage is an individual time trial race, the starting order for each team shall be determined by the organiser in agreement with the commissaires panel; each team shall determine the order in which its riders shall start.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So what is that song about, couldn't find the lyrics. Go to the school or something in the lines of that? Rogla, or the other two?

We'll see.

I really thought it was the organization, my bad.

 

[Froome]

The conditions could be better or worse, nobody can really predict that and indeed there could be more insight involved, still i find it a bit strange Remco doesn't want to ride in the same conditions as Rogla and Jonas. But OK this are less important things now. Aiming for the overall you will need to produce great ITT tomorrow.

Vamos Rogla! Time to beat Jonas.

PCS have the start order too in an easier to read format -

So it aint over until Serry comes home - allez allez!

Would be weird the organisation would let the top GC riders start before the coverage starts

 

[Slavique Nuke]

It doesn't look like it will rain during the ITT

the Basque Weather Service doesn't agree, though

I can't wait to see this battle between Pieter Serry, Johannes Staunte-Mittet, Roger Adria and Rudy Porter.

I was thinking yesterday "cool I can watch it earlier than usual then move on with my day" not realising they would all go before the broadcast starst.

PCS is worse than PDF. It's not reachable for longer periods during bigger races.

Sure, they've had some issues recently, but everything is better than PDF.

Here's another version. From Feltet.dk, with the favourites - and Danes - bolded.

Two sprint stages in Itzulia is pretty disappointing. Still, the return of the TT is a good news and I think stage 4 is a really good stage too.

Regardless of the lack of mountain, I still think the last stage is hard enough for Vingegaard to take GC, though it wouldn’t shock me if Remco can hang on to his wheel and take the overall (Roglič would need to improve a lot after Paris-Nice but also has a shot).

For today, I don't think that the gaps will be big as it is a short hilly technical TT. I will go with Ayuso to do a little surprise and take the stsge win.

 

[velaso montador]

Its gonne be a interesting TT to watch more so than usual in the basque country.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

All the favourites are in the first half of the draw and yet conditions could end up being a bit better in the second half. Seems very likely the wind will drop and quite possible the rain doesn't come.

Possible according to windy.com. Headwind up the climb.
