Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[Tim Cahill]

Smallish bunch with disorganised teams, can see some flyers going like yesterday

 

[RedheadDane]

That Cofidis rider narrowly avoiding the crashed Picnic rider!

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Skjelmose is behind, I think.

 

[postmanhat]

Someone on GC is likely to lose a bit time a bit of time here?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I dread to watch the final sprint

 

[Samamba]

Skjelmose is behind, I think.

Correct
Oconnor too but I think he's closer to the peloton than Skjelmose, who's in the 2nd peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Almeida behind the split.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tarling and Trentin should start riding hard up front

 

[Samamba]

Almeida behind

Van Wilder with Oconnor in small group in between

 

[Netserk]

Peloton slowed down.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

well, we will get some race action from here on in....

 

[postmanhat]

Gall and pretty much the entire Decathlon team also.

 

[Samamba]

Wonder if there's going to be some criticism towards Visma again. Yesterday some riders complained about them making it more nervous than it had to be.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Everyone back it seems

I don't see the issue today, they sprinted for bonus seconds.

 

[noob]

Cmon Abrahamsen find your inner Cort to take it from. The sprinters

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gall's top level climbing is frightening but the man is a walking catastrophe

 

[yaco]

Durbridge injury is a disaster for Jayco's TTT. Thought Jayco would have just about won the TTT. Will say that a TTT has to be the first stage in a stage race.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Durbridge and Sorrarain DNF

Once a tri-tard, always a tri-tard.

It was about them sprinting towards every corner already at like 100kms from the finish yesterday. I have no idea if it was that bad cause I only catched the last km, but I've seen some riders complain.

Also they have been doing it today before the sprint too tbf. It's their way to keep themselves safe, I don't judge, but I know lots of riders don't really enjoy it when it's unnecessary, not the first time they complain.

At the very least he's been safe riding all on his own upfront.

 

[noob]

Such panache! Abrahamsen plz steal the win

 

[Netserk]

That's a fair complaint, the Dauphiné crash last year was also because of a pointless fight for position from Visma. I just don't see how you can blame them for the crash right now.

 

[Samamba]

I would not just give Abrahamsen time again, you never know with that guy.
