Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

[Netserk]

UAE leading the chase group behind the GC favourites.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So all contenders are in the front group, but they're all isolated.

Now watch SQS tell Evenepoel to wait for the last possible moment to attack, only to not get away with no more options left.

 

[Samamba]

Evenepoel teammates in 2nd peloton. UAE too apart from Grosschartner with McNulty.

 

[Samamba]

And he has become a better climber in recent years.

It's probably too late now and I think he wants to keep some sort of freedom (which is understandable) but he wouldn't be a bad dom in a GC team I think.

 

[Netserk]

QS now leads the chase group.

 

[Poursuivant]

Always seems to be wet last stage of PN, but never at PR

 

[Samamba]

Are there top 10 riders missing in first group?

 

[Netserk]

APP is not even in the chase group.

 

[Red Rick]

You gotta love Campernants ...he is always attacking

Very definition of meme attacks

 

[Samamba]

APP is not even in the chase group.

Is Bernal there?
Only see De Plus

 

[Salvarani]

Agreed, but Lotto should definitely try to keep him to help with LVE ambitions though. He is also probably more likely to get some own opportunities to go for own results with them. Stages and one-day races.

 

[DNP-Old]

Cattaneo made it to the group yellow.

 

[Netserk]

I think Cattaneo bridged across.

 

[Salvarani]

Bernal is there.

 

[Red Rick]

Odds of Skjelmose attacking the next descent?

 

[Poursuivant]

Pedersen MSR win confirmed

I've heard they're negotiating about a new contract, I'm assuming he'll stay. Yes. he can be a good om everywhere and still be in breaks when he wants.

 

[Boehmand]

Mads P is such a beast

 

[Samamba]

So no Bernal, no Decathlon duo

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic is halfwheeling Evenepoel. Beware when Roglic is halfwheeling people

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lol at Pedersen

 

[RedheadDane]

Would Ineos consider it a minus that they only have De Plus in the favourite group?

There are two INEOS' in that group.

 

[Tim Cahill]

De Plus may aswell stay, he's going into the top 10 if this sticks, only 4 minutes back

 

[Samamba]

There are two INEOS' in that group.

I don't think so?
