Just for the record.. Sucking wheel is bad? New racing for 2024, every rider to jump at 80k to go and hold everyone off or they are a failure?Hopefully wheelsucker Roglic doesnt win
I also don’t have percentages, but media outlets seem to think the latter.Final 1k of stage 1 goes uphill... i can't find any exact percentages. Is that a Roglic type of sprint, or is it a De Lie vs Pedersen kind of sprint?
So we're looking at an uphill sprint more then a chance for the GC guys. 6 second time bonus at the top of Mountainville not far from the finish might prove enticing for the GC guysThe Finish: a fast downhill section leads to a sharp right turn and then a left with 5.5km go to. From here it’s one long straight road until 1.5km and almost flat, it’ll be fast and a big chainring helps. Once in Les Mureaux there’s a small climb up to the flamme rouge, then a dip down and a rise until 700m where there’s a tight ~120° bend. From here the it climbs at 6% here before easing to 2-3%. It flattens out and there’s a sweeping curve at 200m but it’s just that rather than sharp angle and by now the field should well-lined out.
A March MTF in the snow? Someone summon Quintana!
It could all be melted by next Saturday...
That's nothing. I've just been out in fog so thick, I couldn't see my brake levers.

Honestly, I'd like to see one with the same format in the Tour.why TF is the TTT still a thing?
Indeed, at least once, just to see how it would work out.Honestly, I'd like to see one with the same format in the Tour.
Will we see Almeida flick his elbow like Quintana, only for Vine to sit on his wheel and shake his head?Talking about leadership at UAE, Jay Vine just said that he expects to have a clearer idea after the TTT.
So this could be fun indeed...![]()

Vinge was on another level Gran Camino, but he wasnt far behind Lenny Martinez who has done really well after that.What if Egan Bernal is like Vegeta and after being back from the dead is only 2x stronger?![]()
I'd love to see teams have bikes with knobby tires that they could swap out before a snowy climb.It could all be melted by next Saturday...
Remco debut in France today.
Still can't believe that it's his first race here.
Hoping it will be a positive experience!!
