Paris-Nice 2022 (03/06 - 03/13)

[Devil's Elbow]

Bissegger very disappointing, the Jumbo 1-2-3 looks inevitable now...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yates overtaking Molano after 5 minutes, jesus wept

I'm starting to fear the 1-2-3-4...

 

[KZD]

Joao Almida with a 5 Yr contract on millions of € a year.

The wonders of having Jorge Mendes company representing him.

 

[Samamba]

YATES???

 

[Tim Cahill]

Solar panel Simon?

 

[glassmoon]

Team car is way too close behind Kragh

 

[Eeslliw]

S.K. Andersen with some nice draft from team car, riding couple meters behind him full with bikes on the roof

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What is it about Paris-Nice that makes Simon Yates go ballistic in TTs?

 

[MrTea1976]

Yates racing in the sun.

 

[Boes]

Change in wind? Seems like a suprising result for Yates

Don't think so. Martinez and SKA are good TTers and started right after Yates.

Doubt it given that Bissegger underwhelmed and started like 10 minutes prior.

 

[Lequack]

Yates said to himself today: "And why shouldn't I be good in timetrials?"
And so he is good.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Simon Yates with another random monster TT performance in Paris-Nice.

Well (s)he couldn't quite keep it up all the way to the line.

 

[sir fly]

What a shame!
Congrats anyway.

 

[Red Rick]

ITT is a lot harder than I thought

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yates overplayed his hand on the flat, it seems.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Every energy company should be looking to hire Simon Yates for research on how his skin could help for future solar panel technology. The guy could single-handedly solve Europe's energy crisis if he gets enough sun.

 

[Velolover2]

Seems like the uphill ramp at the start and the punchy climb at the finish are underrated.


A specialist like Bissegger is "only" fifth (at the movement)..

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yeah, but over 1sec per Km on Dani Martinez is still a really good result for him.

 

[glassmoon]

Primoz will win today

 

[Lequack]

Still Yates is only a second behind Kung, and 5 seconds behind Dennis. It's still a pretty stellar TT.

I think it's less the climbs being hard and more there being relatively little flat in between. Not that much terrain to utilise a big engine. That said, Bissegger should normally be able to at least come closer.

Nairo.. ouch.
