Gee riding, so any fun with team tactics and early attacks not allowed.

Easy win for Geesus

getting in some hard miles before catalunya

everything is in preparation for the geero !

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Fantastic race, good start list. Hoping that Paul double can school the big stars.

 

[AlfaLum]

Tobias will win this race. Pidcock and Pellizzari/Roglic to complete the podium.

 

[Rule #9 apostle]

Tobias will win this race. Pidcock and Pellizzari/Roglic to complete the podium.

Would love to see it. He's in amazing shape

 

[CyclistAbi]

It has Rogla written all over it. Fingers crossed!

 

[Kazistuta]

Not New Rogla...

Vermaerke looked scary strong at times in Tirreno. Might wanna give him a few stars.

 

[Potomac]

The profile has a certain honesty to it.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Didn't he crash as well, though? Not sure how serious it was, but it might have taken the top off his shape.

 

[Berniece]

Would be surprised if Pidcock doesn’t take it. If no team takes control and sets a high pace RBH should go for an early attack on the climb

 

[Squire]

Didn't he crash as well, though? Not sure how serious it was, but it might have taken the top off his shape.

Yeah, could be. But he did a really strong pull on the front when getting back to the peloton after that crash, so it can't have been that bad.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Maybe Johannesen can extend the run or a 3-4 headed astana assault can do the job.

 

[Rob5091]

Tune in after 140km and watch the racing start. Interesting mix on the startlist - should be worth a watch.

 

[Berniece]

Were there any (interesting) pre-race interviews?

 

[Squire]

Were there any (interesting) pre-race interviews?

Are there ever? Feels like every pro cyclist answers everything with a variation of 'we will see ah'.

Roglic hints that he may race between romandie and vuelta and says

'now i do this (race), and later on some more races'

Good to have that cleared up.

 

[SafeBet]

Were there any (interesting) pre-race interviews?

Gee said he's unsure about his shape and that the finish is likely too explosive for him anyway.
Pidcock decided with the team to change his schedule and skip Tirreno so he could be fresh for this race, he wants to win.

That's like skipping the Tour to go for San Sebastián. Wild stuff.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

That's like skipping the Tour to go for San Sebastián. Wild stuff.

Remco has done that multiple times already.

 

[YavorD]

Remco has done that multiple times already.

Tadej Pogacar: Hey, I've got a gravel section on my name
Remco Evenepoel: Hold my beer. I've got a whole race named after me.
