Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

But dropping him from my team put me within budget.

Well you could have had both of them, if you had picked some different Danish riders for the remaining spots, You could even have had those two and Vingegaard as well. Then you wouldn't have been in last place right now.

I suppose I could have had those three, and just a bunch of cheap Danish conti riders to fill out the rest of the spots.
But I like spreading my point-tally over multiple riders, unfortunately... the riders don't seem to quite agree with my tactic...
At least the other-other Pedersen gave me some points yesterday...

One thing Roglic is missing now is the super strong Visma team, Bora are good but not Visma level. Remember Laporte, Wout and Roglic riding away and doing a 1-2-3 that one stage. I just can't see a scenario where that could happen at Bora.

I wonder about this in the time trial. Roglic looks pretty isolated, team is not very strong..?

I think the team is sort of designed to try to not lose a lot of time there though...

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...

This style of TTT (which eventually becomes an ITT) is rather disadvantageous to a team that has not clearly identifies its leader.

"These two EF boys, it's adult-bullying of Burgaudeau."
He got himself into that mess...

The Schleck brothers should take notes for next time they're in an LBL finale with Gilbert.

That could take a while...



(until the kids have grown up)

 

[Volderke]

What did Burgaudeau do wrong to get himself into this mess?
Or is it just for the KOM points that EF are riding now?
The way they are riding, the peloton will take them before they are at the next KOM.

What channel?

Looks like we're in for a sprint for those 6 bonus seconds.

 

[houtdffan]

where is Remco? I did not see him in the peloton

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

No-one interested in bonus seconds?

 

[Red Rick]

No-one interested in bonus seconds?

That's later right?

 

[yaco]

Groves can do well in this type of finish if he is well-positioned.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

That's later right?

Yup. Roglic will take them.

 

[ManicJack]

What channel?

Peacock, but at least Kuss and Simmons aren't in the race.

 

[Netserk]

Are you ready?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Peacock

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pogicar so far ahead yesterday, that he's going to win this stage.

 

[Red Rick]
