Paris - Nice 2020, March 8 - March 15

[spalco]

Higuita is a head smaller on the bicycle than literally everyone else in the peloton. Do they even make adult bikes in that size?

 

[Simurgh]

Viviani looks ready

 

[Bolder]

Higuita is tiny. 1.63 meters, 55kg or so...

 

[spalco]

Ooh, that looked bad, but maybe the fall on the grass was soft.

 

[Laplaz]

Cortina! What a beast!

 

[jaylew]

Crash took out Ewan and Bennett

 

[spalco]

Cortina! What a beast!

Who?

 

[sir fly]

Cortina carrying nice form for some weeks now.

I hope all the riders involved in crashes will be able to continue.
Not the best day for Delko guys.

 

[Bolder]

that crash looked really, really painful. Sagan getting closer...

 

[Laplaz]

Who?

Ivan Garcia Cortina

 

[Bonimenier]

Cortina showing his strong from.
Bennett probably out for some time.

 

[Faserr]

Hard racing. Everyone spent again. The strongest won

 

[LaFlorecita]

Grande Ivan! Strong as an ox

 

[SKSemtex]

Not bad from Sagan at this stage of his spring preparation, Unfortunately, I am afraid all April races will be canceled.

Is he even on an adult bike?

 

[sir fly]

Rajović grimacing, but on bike.

 

[Bonimenier]

that crash looked really, really painful. Sagan getting closer...

Positionwise yes, but he didn't really come close to Cortina and without a crash it's pretty safe to say Ewan and Bennett would have been faster as well on this type of finish.

 

[jaylew]

Ivan looked good but was definitely helped by the Ewan/Bennett crash in the end. Ewan looked to be in perfect position to take it.

 

[spalco]

Ivan Garcia Cortina

Alright.

 

[Berflamand]

Impressive sprint by Garcia Cortina!

Horrible Paris-Nice so far for DQS. Let's see what they can do tomorrow against the likes of Campenaerts and other Küngs.

 

[Bolder]

Positionwise yes, but he didn't really come close to Cortina and without a crash it's pretty safe to say Ewan and Bennett would have been faster as well on this type of finish.

Agree 100 percent. Sometimes Sagan can win a traditional bunch sprint; I really thought this would be one of those times...

Ivan came by them carrying a bunch of speed as Sagan was waiting in 2nd wheel and he never really got in the slipstream.

QS was riding really reckless today. One example

Unfortunately it seems that Bennett has taken over some of DQT's attitude. Which is not a good thing.

 

[Faserr]

He nearly took out Quintana and Ackermann. Stupid move.
It looks like Ackermann lost contact to the group after that move with 5k to go. Perhaps he punctured.
