Find one mistake!

The second T in Tramuntana shouldn't be capitalised.

Is it Lotto Soudal or Soudal Lotto, or doesn't it matter?

They're time travelling as it's night time on one side of the picture and daytime on the other.

Find one mistake!

A period is missing in the date between "01" and "2022".

The shorts are labelled CAPS even though they're shorts, not caps.

 

[RedheadDane]

You guys are being very silly.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The shorts are labelled CAPS even though they're shorts, not caps.

But at least it's written in all caps.

Is it Lotto Soudal or Soudal Lotto, or doesn't it matter?

It depends on where the race takes place. If it's in Belgium they're called Soudal Lotto, but if it's in another country it's Lotto Soudal (or maybe it's the other way around).

Also since Wellens is surely the captain, his name should be listed first.

Other way around. So It's Soudal-Lotto in Mallorca.

Their kit looks more orange than red?

How many of the fast men will make it over that cat 1 peak with 35k to go?
Apart from Girmay I mean.

This course is for the climbers. It's normally even too hard for Girmay.

Girmay isn't even starting. Kristoff is riding.

It looks like Aurelien Paret-Peintre has significant injury, he is being taking to a hospital, according to live at cyclingpro

Crashed, went to the race doctor, got back into the peloton, had to abandon anyway.

They are starting now the decisive climb.

Zwiehoff and Gesbert attack..

 

[Earns1985]

Front group now consists of 1 Valverde, 2 Mas, 26 Mcnulty, 29 Buchmann, 38 Zwiehoff, 64 Clarke, 71 Wellens, 106 Goossens, 194 Gesbert and 195 Barguil.

Mas attacks and has a few seconds..

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

We all know Wellens will just win because it is January.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I can understand why they might not want to broadcast all the races, but surely the weekend ones would make a lot of sense. Having to rely on Twitter updates is just a bit poor in this day and age. Being first televised, European pro race of the season would create a bit of buzz in itself.

Buchmann, Mas and Clarke are now alone at the front.
Seems like Goosens, McNulty, Wellens and Valverde got back.

Kudos to Goossens for being up there. His first Trofeo was really good too.

Wanty has had a strong start to the season. I had my doubts before last season, but it looks like they might survive as a WT team now.

 

[Wvv]

Wellens wins. Of course.
Valverde angry at the line tho, he was cut short in the sprint.

You called it!

Did Valverde just give up?

[Bonimenier]

Wellens will single handedly make sure that LTS don't have to worry about relegation from WT anymore by the end of February.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Looks like Wellens 1st, Valverde 2nd, Clarke 3rd, McNulty 4th, Goossens 5th from what I can see.

 

[Netserk]

Poor sprint (positioning/timing) by Valverde, very clean execution by Wellens.

It looks more like he was annoyed that Wellens was closing the door.
