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

[RedheadDane]

Neither of those teams are in 2nd place on GC! Yates is!

And he's got a whole man to help him!

While those are in the hole...

 

[Netserk]

Kruijswijk seems to push a good pace now.

 

[Salvarani]

Vansevenant crashed according to the feed

 

[glassmoon]

Only 96 (of 161) started today?

 

[Salvarani]

Only 96 (of 161) started today?

There has been riders abandoning throughout the week.

Not that many (65) that just opted to not start today. More like 10-15 perhaps.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Only 96 (of 161) started today?

88 and then a further 7 dropped out later.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Good job so far from JV. Controlling the race. Still 60km to go.

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton down to 30 guys I reckon most behind will DNF

 

[Netserk]

This approach certainly makes attacks on Peille unlikely. The bees may not be an anaconda, but they are completely strangling the stage.

Yeah, I was aware of that... still I'd guess only 30-40 have abandoned totally...

 

[Netserk]

The rest of the stage:

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, I was aware of that... still I'd guess only 30-40 have abandoned totally...

It will surely be something like that. Many dropping out during the stage.

I don't think most will DNF.

 

[RedheadDane]

How do you get 161 minus 81 to be 30-40?

 

[CyclistAbi]

JV likely to held on Côte de Peille.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Yates isolated rooming JV.

 

[sir fly]

How do you get 161 minus 81 to be 30-40?

I hoped you can tell us.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Nop. JV dropped on Côte de Peille. Only van Aert still there.

 

[RedheadDane]

I hoped you can tell us.

Not even my wonky maths can do that.

 

[glassmoon]

How do you get 161 minus 81 to be 30-40?

That's why I was surprised. That it was actually much more/worse than I expected.
I was aware riders were dropping... just didn't know it was actually that bad.

 

[Salvarani]

Ineos on the front now

 

[Salvarani]

Only a small group left

 

[KZD]

Martinez attacks with Van Aert managing to respond, he really seemed to have saved himself for today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I was wondering why they didn't send Big Fred to lead out Bauhaus today but it turns out he's become a mountain goat.
