Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

[Didinho]

Attacking Remco could be better for the race. But such a shame the rain for these teams now.

No way you lose like 35 seconds because of rain in the last 3km. There aren't even corners till the last km or so?

There were a few, but yes, I agree. Weird performance.

 

[ManicJack]

Indeed, they might have blown themselves up on the hilly section

Remco was definitely labored at the finish.

 

[Rob5091]

Seems like Team Buckethead should have stuck with the old helmets.

 

[Volderke]

I wonder if Remco just didn't have it and they had to slow down to keep him on board?
Curves in the rain can cost 2-3 seconds per curve, but in 3K and with few curves this cannot explain the whole time loss.

 

[Samamba]

Wind change?

 

[Faserr]

Wind change?

I think the wind got weaker. Not a lot of tailwind now.

 

[bNator]

Having to slow down more due to rain in the corners can have a huge accumulative effect…

 

[SafeBet]

Perfect for the race if both Remco and Roglic are 20+ seconds behind the leader.

Remco is at his mountain weight, do keep up.

 

[Wvv]

Guys. Rain doesn't only mean wetter roads and slower curves. It's air distribution, wind changes, visibility with regular glasses and certainly the TT-helmet...

 

[DNP-Old]

Mate, he's banned, you can let the schtick go now.

Perfect for the race if both Remco and Roglic are 20+ seconds behind the leader.

Plus UAE internal battle

At the end it did seem like he was kinda struggling at the back, but hard to say based on that.

 

[JosefK]

Bora will lose more than a minute, at this point.

 

[AmRacer]

Mate, he's banned, you can let the schtick go now.

Silence the debate.

 

[tobydawq]

Bora are also going to have an awful time if the kilometer marker was correct.

 

[DNP-Old]

BORA expected 10th.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Perfect for the race if both Remco and Roglic are 20+ seconds behind the leader.

Yes, both favourites will have to light it up, and UAE will have to decide which of their 4 leaders they work for when chasing. On paper this is really good for the race.

 

[Didinho]

Perfect for the race if both Remco and Roglic are 20+ seconds behind the leader.

And even better if Joao will lead the yoyo in yellow.

 

[Netserk]

What a shame with the changing weather.

 

[noob]

 

[Berniece]

Bora lost 54s to UAE and 32s to SOQ

 

[Samamba]

This is really weird but it does mean Remco and Roglic have to attack.

 

[DNP-Old]

This L is on Roglic for murdering basically his entire team.
