94 wins for Kristoff.

Old man might make it to 100.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Old man might make it to 100.

Most likely! Great consistency for the big (and old) man. He should do Post DK

 

[perico]

Headline from the Columbian media YouTube channel I got an update from on my phone.

“Nairo finishes with leaders in stage 1 of Tour of Burgos.”

it must be an accomplishment to not get dropped by the likes of Caleb Ewan.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Alexander Kristof: beast mode!!!

 

[Samamba]

UNO X as expected dominating Norway, I mean their team is basically their Tour team. Cort to win GC (already took 7 boni's).

 

[Rob5091]

2 for 2 for Kristoff and Uno-X at the Arctic Race. Not his sort of finish tomorrow (Tuesday). so be interesting to see who gets the win.

 

[Potomac]

Burgos profile seem a bit lacking.

 

[Rob5091]

After GC Kusses bike problems and a slo-mo crash yesterday, Tulett has crashed and gone home at Burgos. Visma one man down.

I am watching my land race,Burgos, nice place finish today, interesting stage for puncheurs. Not so hot as yesterday, but hot...big crash just now. Tao, Quintana, Paret Peintre and a Visma rider, at least crash

Are there images of Norway?

Yep, Arctic Race has started on TV. Nasty big crash at Burgos.

 

[RedheadDane]

Talk about perfect timing; I got home and logged in right in time for the coverage to start!

BTW, is it just me, or did the graphic with who wears which jersey make it look like the jerseys each has a portrait of the wearer?

 

[Rob5091]

Nairoman went down first and lots followed including Hart - again! The man has no luck. Guys off to hospital so a few more DNF today.

 

[Netserk]

Yep, Arctic Race has started on TV. Nasty big crash at Burgos.

What caused the crash in Burgos?

 

[Rob5091]

What caused the crash in Burgos?

Looked like Nairoman (or a Movistar rider) went down after riding into the back of someone.

 

[Rob5091]

Caruso, Hart, Shaw DNF.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Caruso, Hart, Shaw DNF.

Man, TGH really caught the crashing bug from his teammate Thomas in he 2023 Giro...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Class win by Ewan.

 

[Samamba]

Hold up Prime Ewan???

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wait a moment, this isn't a scripted Aussie crit!

 

[Rob5091]

Ewans wins just in Burgos, bit of a weird, messy uphill sprint.

 

[yaco]

My take is that Ewan did not follow his team in the final, and instead surfed wheels. He actually looked good in the uphill sprint and there are some in the Vuelta. In saying that, I have little faith in him doing a flat finish.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nice win for Ewan.
Simmons is also still alive, it seems.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Also a bit weird to tune in to the Burgos coverage via Tiz and immediately recognise that the commentator was Danish, but having no idea who it was until he said his name at the end.

Yeah, Ewan went to the front on his own with like 1.5 km to go and just sat there until a late sprint to the line.
I've no idea why Quintana kept riding. He looked a real mess and should have got into the car.
