Paris - Nice 2021, March 7 - March 14

What is Porte doing in the back? That is always a dangerous place for crashes.

Not really...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Loads of crashes.

I didn’t realise that this was an uphill drag at the end. Probably favours Demare. I assume it’s not hard enough for someone like Matthews?

 

[BlueRoads]

Without Pedersen as a co-pilot he's back to his former self.

Yeah, they should have tried to sign Pedersen as well.

 

[johnymax]

Interesting action right now

 

[Bonimenier]

And Porte abandoned...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, they should have tried to sign Pedersen as well.

From a sporting standpoint, that would have been a better signing.

 

[Carols]

Lil Richie Out......

 

[BlueRoads]

From a sporting standpoint, that would have been a better signing.

Hm. I really like Pedersen, but Porte got third in the Tour last year... not too bad.

 

[sir fly]

Nice crowd.

 

[Bonimenier]

Too easy for Bennett.

 

[Hayabusa]

Bit of shoulder barging in the end there.. Bennett was just too good.

[Carols]

Sam Bennett!!! Great sprint, Kudos!

 

[sir fly]

Didn't look like it's gonna finish the way it did.
Bennett in great shape for a couple of weeks already.

Bennett doing it without his leadout.

Bennett
Demare
Pedersen

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Looks a cut above the rest at the moment

 

[Spine Concept]

That looked so easy. Pedersen and Demare reduced to second tier sprinters.

 

[Bonimenier]

Ackermann looked terrible. That was a perfect leadout but there was barely any accelaration.

I think Demare could have been close but he more or less had to go full gas the moment he was passed by Meeus and Ackermann.

 

[JosefK]

If Sam could begin his post-race interview with "Well, yes . . . " he would sound just like Sean Kelly.

 

[Screecher]

Ackermann looked terrible. That was a perfect leadout but there was barely any accelaration.

Yes. It's not just him underperforming though, BORA as a whole is looking very mediocre.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Stage 1

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Lol did Bennett sprint the whole way without using the drops?

Cav really letting the team down. Can't even win sh!t small races.

Yep, he has a weird habit of doing that... The ultimate sprinters showboat move.
