Murcia - Almeria - Jaen (February 10th, 11th & 12th)

Lazkano looks empty. Hard to see him staying away from Tratnik.

 

[Tim Cahill]

6k is downhll, think he has it, Tronchon is in a good spot tbh

I see you're a rider-looks-half-empty kind of guy.

So I'm late to the party. Was Hagenes dropped from the front group when he gave his wheel to Van Aert? Or had Van Aert joined the front?

Yes, they were both in the peloton.

But I don't know if he had been dropped. It seemed like the initial front group had disintegrated for unknown reasons and was more than halved in size.

 

[tobydawq]

Lazkano is riding as fast as the quartet now, so I don't exactly know where the "empty" is to be seen.

 

[Netserk]

Tratnik should pull through or attack. Don't yap that some neopro doesn't pull.

 

[Lequack]

Problem is that it's only Tratnik working in the chase group, so Lazkano is the favorite. Lazkano is channeling his inner Pogacar.

I don't think he has pulled any more than Kuss has.

Thanks!

It's a bit of a shame. I saw Hagenes, Tratnik, Wellens, Lazkano & Turner had more than a minute on the peloton earlier, so I had big hopes of that being the decisive move. A very Hagenes kinda race this.

It's also a very Lazkano race, and it's really looking like he's staying away now.

Jesper Worre is so stupid: "Tronchon shouldn't take pulls as long as Prodhomme is in front."

Yes, if they want to win the race, he should, you dimwit.

 

[Samamba]

He has a tailwind

 

[Tim Cahill]

If anything he looks even stronger, hopefully we see this again this season

Yeah, he just pushes a big gear that sometimes makes it look like he's suffering more than he actually is. Still with better cooperation behind he wouldn't have been in front anymore.

Lazkano looks 5/8 empty

 

[Salvarani]

He dated your sister or something?

 

[scribers]

Everyone else is 9/16 empty

I doubt they'll replace him as Spanish champion before the cobbled Classics start. Talking of which...

 

[Highlander]

If they are relying on Kuss to pull the group across on flattish terrain, then Lazkano has this in the bag.

Yes.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Prudhomme is caught by the group of 4, then holds off Kuss...

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Bummer there weren't more gravel sections, great race anyway. Better if they can keep more sectors next year.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

MASTERCLASS! GENIUS OIER LAZKANO

Prudhomme is caught by the group of 4, then holds off Kuss...

Small victories for AG2R, I guess. I don't know what they were doing today.

If you see Kuss today you almost want to force him to race Strade. He's in the best form he's ever had this early in the season.

 

[yaco]

Jumbo suffered from riding alone at the front and then when Van Aert punctured they did not have fresh domestics to bring back to the front of the race.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lol, AG2R riders winning all group sprints today.
