Yes - Tour of Algarve has a longish ITT, although the climbs are more challenging at Algarve. One of the four day stage races ( women ) in Belgium and Holland had an 18km ITT with the other three stages being flat - Of course there was no no cross winds and it was a damp squid.
Vernon is a former world record holder in the IP, although that one got broken again like ten minutes later. He is made for prologues.
My surname can't really be translated, though...
Son of Jens? Jenson? Jens-one? Jenlate?
Four races today and they're all televised!
The Giro della Toscana has switched to the hardest side of Monte Serra this year, definitely one of the most climber-friendly classics around these days.
Monte Serra (they climb up to Prato di Calci as that's where the descent joins):
The GP de Wallonie sees both Mathieu van der Poel and the cobbled finish up to the citadel return this year.
Tienne aux Pierres:
Citadelle de Namur (cobbled section, profile ends at the flamme rouge, then flattish before the final 400 metres at 4%)
The Tour de Luxembourg features the easiest stage of the race.
Côte de Steinsel:
Col de l'Europe:
Poteau de Kayl:
And the Okolo Slovenska also has its easiest stage, sadly that's saying a lot more in this case...

It's been raining all day, and it will keep raining until late in the evening in Belgium. Wonder what effect this will have on the cobbled section. If I was Mathieu I would try to finish alone, and definitely not in a large group. Just to be sure that he doesn't put is WC in danger.The GP de Wallonie sees both Mathieu van der Poel and the cobbled finish up to the citadel return this year.
The women's race GP de Wallonie:
Planta Pura had 3 upfront at the end, paced the whole Citadel of Namen. Justine Ghekiere had a big gap in the last km but almost ended up the wrong way and went so slow in the last corner and became 2nd (she would've won I think). Her team mates Julie De Wilde 1st and Yara Kastelijn 3th.
Wet roads, but the little cobblestones were no problem. Mathieu could have a field day if he's near his top.

So Hirschi not going to worlds? Cause he looks damn good.
So Martinez knows this descent right? Like wth are those risks. Cant see anything between those buildings and he takes every corner without touching his breaks.
Martinez was also descending well at the Tour. He‘s gotten a lot better at it.
Didn't an angry driver knock him out on these roads a couple of years back?
Einer Rubio is probably the slowest guy in the chasing group, so I kinda understand where he's coming from. Still, he could do a bit of work
That one was scrarier than you'd think, he didn't remember a thing afterwards and didn't know that he was now riding for EF and no longer for Scinto...
