Paris - Nice 2020, March 8 - March 15

[Broccolidwarf]

This TT suits Søren Kragh Andersen very, very well.

The fight for the 4th team spot at the Olympics starts today - which will be the best TT rider who can also ride the road race - on that route - it's between Asgreen and the Kraghen..... with Würtz being the dark horse

Not the smoothest surface... like the tt itself wasn't enough for the featherweights.

It will be interesting to see how the NTT riders do overall today. - Reportedly Riis has been focusing a lot, on riders positioning on the bike and TT technique, in his first time with the team.

When does Roglič start?

P.S. Today is likely the day to take the GC win.

Yesterday.

Not a bad ride from Martin.
And not the best from Campenaerts, yet.

Bahrain-McLaren guys doing well today.
Effects of the new title sponsor.

Pello Bilbao best time at 1st intermediate

Cracking TT by Bilbao

 

[Sestriere]

Merida TT bike > BMC TT bike confirmed

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The second part of the route suits Asgreen better..... this is going to be close

What bikes are FDJ riding?

 

[MartinGT]

Dissapointing from Kung, but not surprised after the work he's done last few days

 

[Broccolidwarf]

With all the people screaming "allez" into Alaphilippes face, he'll end up getting the virus

 

[Sestriere]

What bikes are FDJ riding?

Lapierre. Interestingly, Küng was on an unbranded bike the last few days.

 

[sir fly]

Alaphilippe same as Asgreen.
De Gendt smashed the second half.

Smashed by Asgreen.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Pinot already slidng back and forth on the saddle right after the start, like Contador when he did a bad TT.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

WOW - a sprint to the finish :O

Pedersen+Fulgsang and?? Andersen? Valgreen?

 

[ciranda]

Søren Kragh on the team for sure time trial or not, Fuglsang too of course. Mads Pedersen will not participate.

Cracking TT by Bilbao

Rocky Bilbao.

I don't think this is unsatisfactory from Quintana.
Alaphilippe though... notable fading in the second half.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pedersen+Fulgsang and?? Andersen? Valgreen?

Pedersen will not get selected for that route.

Fuglsang will be the captain, and he will get 2 "climby" helpers - those 2 spots will be between Valgren, Vingegaard, Eg and Cort.

The 4th spot is whoever is riding the Olympic ITT - because at the Olympics, that rider is automatically in the road race as well.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Dylan Teuns to show everyone that he's the true heir of the Killer di Spoltore
Pinot 17 seconds down at the first time check, my feeling was right.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Wow - THE KRAGHEN

 

[KZD]

Kragh Andersen, what a time!
