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

I thought they were racing for him, but I don't understand if he was held up by the first McNulty crash or something? He's really nowhere so far.

Yes he was involved in that crash too and then basically gave up on GC.
Wouldn't surprise me if he wins tmrw or sunday.

 

[JosefK]

He's a minute clear and has a teammate with him? He's literally getting into the top 10 after this. How he always does it in stage races. He's not good, but he keeps attacking till the main guys let him have his top 10.

His sensei is the legendary Haimar Zubeldia.

Could also be the case of rotating personnel at JV.
Dennis a few days ago, Van Aert today...

Did he crash as well? Or was he just held up? He didn't do a TT up to his standard either.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Meh, with tomorrow being an easier stage and this one coming right after the TT I would have expected to see at least a serious pace by some teams on the hardest climb of the day to see how everyone else is doing.

Not sure.

Nah, I doubt that Van Aert believes in rotating and he also wanted to ride a good gc here.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

When Total can drop Roglic' last domestique chasing Martin you know the rest has wasted an opportunity...

 

[Velolover2]

Van Aert is just saving himself to win the Turini stage (if it survives)..

 

[sir fly]

Lovely environment today.
Charming towns and villages, beautiful nature and landscape.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ah, actual GC attacks. Almost forgotten what they looked like.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Beautiful road, Camera man probably reading CN forum and decides to give Martinez the draft of his life to make things interesting, chapeau!

 

[noob]

Happy to see Martinez well after being ill for so long!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good job lads lets snap close Simon Yates for Rogla

Absolutely brainless

 

[Velolover2]

Thank you Martinez for at least trying,

 

[Samamba]

Full on attacking and McNulty doesn't lose time. Very annoying that he crashed.

 

[Red Rick]

I told you guys. Quintana only attacks in small races against weaker riders or when he knows he is by far the strongest. Today was a perfect opportunity. Jumbo folded as soon as his team upped the pace a little. He is far behind and has nothing to lose. His team was riding a strong pace for a couple of kms on a hard climb and...nothing happened, not a single attack. At least try and see if your opponent has a bad day, you never know. I am disappointed. Why on Earth did he even put his team in front? To drop Laporte and Van Aert? Meh

Time to flame Quintana for losing the 2015 Tour again

 

[johnymax]

The Ineos duo at least made Roglič work

 

[Bolder]

Can we get a "Let's Go Brandon"?

Sorry about that...

Anyway, a well deserved win.

 

[Velolover2]

McNulty's first WT win! I'm sure with a lot more to come.

 

[sir fly]

A nice victory for McNulty.
A class above breakaway companions.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Congrats to McNulty, he made it look easy!

 

[Velolover2]

20+ riders DNF.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Latour is really going for the most top 10s without a win title.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Hilarious sprinting there at the end.
