Paris-Nice 2023, March 5-12

We will have to see how the new rule plays out - but this issue could be solved by clearly telling the dropped riders to stay on one side and by not having such a narrow finish.

It's also because of the relatively small time gaps between the teams to start (3 minutes). It was supposed to be 5 minutes but was changed to 3 minutes because of a strike if I'm not mistaken.

I'm interested in the time from DSM. I could imagine that they are perfectionist enough to prepare this properly.

 

[Didinho]

Hope Jayco can beat Jumbo here.

UAE already a man down after 7k.

 

[glassmoon]

lol UAE again

 

[Samamba]

lol UAE again

Jayco lost Harper really early too

 

[Samamba]

If you're going to do this special TT, then show the last km of every team. They're doing leadouts but they don't show it...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Jayco really crushing the competition so far, actually looking good for Simon Yates, if he can avoid a bad day (It's Simon Yates after all).

 

[Samamba]

Ineos 15 seconds faster that Lotto DSTNY.... That's bad.

Not that I underestimate Jayco, but Ineos can't give in 45" here.

 

[BR2]

And the time from Jayco looks even better...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Brutal gaps already hahaha

 

[Didinho]

Foss can't wear his WC jersey?

 

[Salvarani]

Ineos 15 seconds faster that Lotto DSTNY.... That's bad.

Not that I underestimate Jayco, but Ineos can't give in 45" here.

Almost the same time as Bahrain.

Maybe Jayco was just that good, we will see when JV passes T1 how it is looking.

 

[BR2]

DSM really not bad for the riders they have there.

I think the Jumbos will destroy Jayco's time anyway, but nonetheless this looks like a very good start for Yates.

 

[Samamba]

Almost the same time as Bahrain.

Maybe Jayco was just that good, we will see when JV passes T1 how it is looking.

Looking at DSM and Bora now at T1, it's just Ineos being pretty disappointing imo

Oké, Lotto little bit better than I thought tho, but tstill.

 

[BR2]

Oh, Bora good, too... seems like that really didn't go well for Ineos...

 

[Samamba]

DSM really not bad for the riders they have there.

Also really good in UAE. They are pretty good at TTTs. Scotts bike is good and knowing DSM they prepare it pretty well.

 

[Didinho]

Not bad UAE, as expected.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Poggi looks bored in his Uaeskaltel train

 

[BR2]

I wish there were more turns and technical difficulties on the course. Otherwise I really like it so far.

 

[Didinho]

Asgreen waiting on El Tractor.

 

[glassmoon]

Soudal falling apart after 4 mins?

 

[Didinho]

Pogi solo incoming.

 

[glassmoon]

Jumbo not smashing... Jayco

 

[Samamba]

Going to be close between Jumbo en Jayco. Who has the best leadout...

 

[HelloDolly]

Simon Yates in interviews ...aaahhhhh
