They're putting up quite a fight. Just over 5 Ks to go, and they have between 30ish-40ish seconds.

In a bunch sprint
Is Team Medellin riding the Volta? Apparently they are riding Quinghai Lake.Uphill sprint this time, his forte back when he was a junior. And the next five stages are all MTF....
Oh no, please don't do that to the young man. Finishing 5th-10th on the flat sprint stages, and getting walloped by MVDP etc on the lumpier ones. They've got Nizzolo for that..I've seen enough, Corbin to the Tour.

For what we know the Chinese teams could sign some random Sputniks for this race (Frolov or bust!) and the climbing performances of some of the Western (and Australian) guys on the bigger Asian PCT teams are pretty good.Lol Superman Lopez at 4000metres altitude climbing against the Asian peloton
It's already started. Hengxiang have signed Maris Bogdanovics from Latvia (they already have long-time China-based Anris Vosekalns); Li Ning Star have a random Briton, a couple of Belarusians and have signed Roniel Campos; Pingtan Tourism Island have signed long time Gazprom-RusVelo man Roman Maikin; and Yunnan Lvshan Landscape have signed three Colombians, Óscar Pachón, Steven Cuesta and Néstor Rueda.
If Tachira Campos shows up things could get interesting...It's already started.

Stelvio at around 2750m, I think. Rettenbachferner is a bit higher, but they only ever did it in the Tour de Suisse, as far as I can remember.Stage finished at 3234m today, some proper altitude. What’s the highest they’re ever went in a GT?
Probably Cime de La Bonette at just over 2800m for the highest during a GTStelvio at around 2750m, I think. Rettenbachferner is a bit higher, but they only ever did it in the Tour de Suisse, as far as I can remember.
Meh, on the final 12.13kms (and the final 22,6kms) he was 40sec slower than Yesid Pira on exactly the same stage in 2021. Now if only Pira could replicate his performances in Europe, that would be nice...Breaking news: Superman won. Solo this time.
