We find a different reason to have a meltdown
No Teddy at the start is good enough reason to celebrate the whole race, isn't it?

Caleb Ewan will have a fun time.
Looks like a good parcours to me as well, but I would have liked the ITT to be a bit more on the technical side.
This way, it should be an easy win for Ethan Hayter today, of course.
Mcnulty should be favorite from Schmid. Would have loved for Cattaneo to be at this race.McNulty favorite for today? Maybe Schachmann and Almeida? Not so many good TT riders at the start.
Hayter was already mentioned. Skjelmose should also be good. Campenaerts apparently has focussed on this TT as well.McNulty favorite for today? Maybe Schachmann and Almeida? Not so many good TT riders at the start.
after Paris-Nice, Lipo said his next goal would be the Dauphiné, while he'd be on domestique duties in Itzulia. No idea for whom, though, or if that's still up to date at all.Almeida vs the Lipopotamus vs Mas for the overall win.
Maybe for Vlasov, if the later is better than in Paris-Nice...after Paris-Nice, Lipo said his next goal would be the Dauphiné, while he'd be on domestique duties in Itzulia. No idea for whom, though, or if that's still up to date at all.
maybe, yeah. For Martinez it probably comes too earlyMaybe for Vlasov, if the later is better than in Paris-Nice...
11 years since this masterclass by Omega Pharma:1. Schachmann
2. Hayter
3. Van Wilder
STOP THE COUNT!
If van welder has his same legs from the mythical 2023 'summer of van welder' then it will be really difficult week for the uae boys, finally belgians can enjoy watching cycling againSchachmann, Hayter, Van Wilder. What a great ragtag team of misfits QS have assembled, and they appear to have arrived prepared. 3 riders with an air of greatness somewhere in them that rarely materialises. To me this is one of the best reasons to watch cycling, that on their day and if the right set of circumstances arise then riders like this can deliver, long after most have given up hope.
Great startlist for the race, Mas to win it all.
