Didn't they say that about a certain rider in a recent Australian race as well?

When his group came into that final tight turn leading into the short cobbled climb, and he rolled to the front I had a flash of him showing his old Cauberg form and surging ahead to get on the podium. Not to be though that is a nice little finish section.

What was Alpecin doing here tbh? They waited so long to chase when they had noone in the front group. Atleast Cofidis and Arkea tried.
And Lotto's tactics are also questionable. But i kind of get that they wanted to give Gilbert a chance at a podium here (he was never going to win tho).

uci Gravel worlds with a pretty impressive startlist of current pros. Other than Adam Roberge I dont really see any big names from the gravel world.
I'm sure they are poo-pooing it but hard to dismiss the allure of the rainbow bands
Shame its only on flobikes. I havent logged onto Tiz in like a year, might have to check and see if they have it

So many teams are sending climbers to Gran Piemonte. Obvious to everyone but RCS that a sprint race isn't what is required at this spot in the calendar...

the climb isn't super easy (same one as in the Torino stage in the Giro this year), but probably too far out for a real selection, yeah

So, probably gonna be a sprint between Demare and Coquard.
(Am I doing it right, as per the rules established in that weird(ly stickied) shared P-B/GP thread from last year?)

Looking at that other thread, and seeing how little time it took for someone, whose name shall not be mentioned, to completely break the rules, and not only forget to add colours, but use the wrong colour, I think you might be right.

Half an hour after the finish and still no results available beyond the top-3. If you have the route of a kermesse and the professionalism of a kermesse, then you shouldn't be organising a UCI-sanctioned race.

There's a... slight height difference between some of the Movistar riders in Malaysia.
Whose brilliant idea was it to put Norsgaard and Rubio right next to each other?

Quite a good field in Langkawi this year. Should be a good GC battle on the two MTFs.
UAE: Bennett & Costa
Cofidis: I.Izagirre
Lotto: Moniquet
Movistar: Jorgenson, Sosa & Rubio
EF: Carthy & Chaves
Astana: Moscon? H.Lopez?
Uno-X: Charmig & Træen, maybe even Eg can be interesting?
Androni: Sepulveda
Burgos: Okamika?
China Glory: Sean Bennett
At the end of the season like this I suppose it's mostly about who is still mentally fresh and motivated. Torstein Træen was really good in the last hard stage in Croatia, maybe he can step up here? Favorites should be among the WT-riders.

They take the road from the Southwest instead of the one from the Northwest, the final 8.6kms are identical.
This year:
The last time in 2020:
That said, I do prefer the "classic" approach, almost 21kms at 7.4 is a great long climb.
