Paris - Nice 2021, March 7 - March 14

[Valv.Piti]

Works that way for Ineos every single time tbh.

Yes, of course, but thats not really their fault, but their opposition being intimidated or what not.

 

[Hayabusa]

Geschke doing a good job for Max. National loyalty.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are Cofidis riding for Guillaume Martin's sprint? Really weird tactics today.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Blythe talking utter cobblers. Geschke obviously working for Laporte stage win

 

[Kangaridoo]

Payback for what?

For dominating too much. When someone becomes a ruthless giant it doesn't come without sanctions from other teams.

 

[Metal earth]

We can finally see the hypocrite side of cycling fans cheering on when people crash.

Yes, truly disgusting behaviour.

 

[Red Rick]

I wish I would get as lucky as Schachman in Paris Nice just once in my life.

 

[Kangaridoo]

Yes, truly disgusting behaviour.

Being able to stay on the bike is part of being a good cyclist and a winner.

 

[Hayabusa]

Roglic nearly crashes again!

 

[RedheadDane]

Declercq!

 

[Bolder]

Very clever of DeClercq to pretend to pull for Roglic but instead lead him into a wall...

 

[HelloDolly]

I dont see why anyone should wait fopr Roglic

Roglic yesterday proved you win no matter what and today Bora and co are returning that sentiment

Seems to me those calling names are a bit over the top

Agreed, but calling it karma or cheering when a rider falls is just pathetic.

 

[rehy90]

Honestly, I am quite sad with other teams move against Roglic today. I am okay with them not waiting, but they went full gas so Roglic would not come back. He was like 50 metres behind and coming back and Bora made a huge effort to not let it happen. Yesterday, the best man won.

quickstep riders and stone walls leading into ravine, name a better duo

Gigantic difference between waiting for and attacking with 8 teams when the team leader has a mechanical. The latter is unprecedented.

Meanwhile eating a breakaway at the finish line happens 100x a year.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would be something if Mäder wins this but he's the slowest sprinter of the three...

 

[Ricco']

The wolf is naturally attracted to the wilderness.

 

[BlueRoads]

Mäder

Roglic crashed a second time, actually.

 

[Luthor]

Well Bora and Astana surely showed their true colors, apparently they paced when Roglic had a mechanical.

 

[Kangaridoo]

Agreed, but calling it karma or cheering when a rider falls is just pathetic.

People aren't really cheering because he falls are they? And whether it is karma or not is up to the individual viewer to feel. If someone enjoys his misfortune, why can't people just let them have it?

Of course if the crashes were caused by another rider it's a brutal way to lose, but otherwise I think it's totally okay for people to enjoy seeing the strongest rider bottling it again.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Weird sprint, but Cort was very smart

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Fittingly weird sprint given how the stage went.
