Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

[Samamba]

Trek & Bora both putting classics men in the break 👀

Cause Trek wants to win the stage with Pedersen... He's had his eye on this stage all week.

Ineos pulling and bringing the gap down again. Is this Bernal weather?

Bernal just aint winning this stage. I mean I have absolutely no idea how he would do that.

Ineos just can't stay away from the front of the peloton. It's an itch.

Ineos pulling and bringing the gap down again. Is this Bernal weather?

His best performances have all come at colder, often rainy weather. Before as well as after his crash. Tignes, Campo Felice, Monte Zoncolan, Cortina d'Ampezzo. He was amazing in that soaking Tirreno stage to Castelfidardo too, back when he was still working that messed up back.

Thyon 2000 was not really a good performance per se, but it was his first major result coming back from that crash, and there is of course Gran Camiño this year too.

But I would find it rather hard, not to say unbelievable, to see him not only opening a gap on what isn't exactly his forte, but staying away on 20 kilometers of (false) flat.

 

[Berflamand]

I agree it's unlikely for Bernal to (solo to the) win today but in this weather they might see it as a chance to eliminate some competitors for the final GC podium if they make it hard.

Or they want to play with their numbers having also Rodriguez and De Plus high on GC?

Lets go ineos, bernal is back baby 😍

Might ride for GC, doesn't matter if he doesn't win the stage. He can try to secure his podium stage, or at least a step towards securing it.

 

[Berflamand]

Opponents have riders in the break, Ineos does not.

Super logical to pull

Haller for Roglic, Pedersen for Skjelmose, Armirail for Gall, would that scare you into closing a big gap?

There's no teammate in the break of anyone in the current top 10 GC.

 

[Berflamand]

Those are 2 of your 3 most dangerous rivals

Yeah at second thought I don't actually disagree with you. But that would need Haller and Pedersen to survive the murito and Roglic to attack.

Anyway, looks like the gap is going back up again.

Pog in Strade. Vingegaard today. Roglic and Evenepoel really need to step up their game. Their demi god status is in question if they cannot even handle Plapp, Buitrago and Skjelmose.

We haven't had a proper stage yet so they can show their class

 

[noob]

That's because with the new weather protocols they cancel all the good stages, and leave only sprint stages. So you basically get the UAE Tour.

Had to borrow this for my signature

They have chosen to enter Mickey Mouse races; they wouldn't even make top 10 in PN at the moment.

 

[joseph89]

Split in peloton

 

[DNP-Old]

Who or what is peloton 3?

 

[KZD]

Gall in the second peloton as expected

 

[Andre]

Will Remco go at the start of last climb?

There are spoiler tags that you can use.

Dare I fancy a guess, dear fellow, that the type which is Roglic, is unbeknownst to you?

Where is Almeida?

Boraaa!!

 

[Netserk]

Lol, Danish commentators thought the bonus sprint was just now. It wasn't.

 

[Salvarani]

Go Roglic!
