Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[Escarabajo]

Unaspiring sprint!

 

[Netserk]

Start order tomorrow is the team GC, but with QS last.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Jakobsen!!!

 

[noob]

Well at least QS is back to being QS

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hugo Page is definitely still alive.

 

[Netserk]

Merlier just too good in this field.

Not sure why Zingle decided it was a good idea to launch at 400 to go in a draggy sprint, even Gaviria would shudder at the idea.

Secured a clean run, good for a top-10.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Belgien horsery.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Jakobsen 9th, better than I had predicted.

 

[tobydawq]

Vingegaard should be given a yellow card and a time penalty for that gimmick helmet, he is not the Danish Champion.

Neither is Pidcock or Wout a rider for Red Bull.

 

[Netserk]

 

[tobydawq]

Merlier with a laugh!?

looks like most strong teams will start relatively early

edit: yep, Ineos 3rd to start, UAE 5th

 

[tobydawq]

Tough to call.

 

[postmanhat]

Hugo Page is definitely still alive.

Always seemed like he has so much potential to me, but still only showing it sporadically.

Edit - Just checked and he's still only 23, so maybe this will be his year, again.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice heli shots of chateaus galore; and egads, I forgot Campy rides for Visma now!

I think Jayco and Alpecin are the first to start, Ineos 5th.

All the main GC riders close together. The stage should also be far less weather affected than last year.

TBF, he'd supposedly only died temporarily yesterday.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

TBF, he'd supposedly only died temporarily yesterday.

And he was only ever dead to one person.

Alpecin "won" today, and it's highest daily position which counts for team gc overall.

Ups, I only looked at the bottom of the ranking. It was Jayco and Movistar missing, so they are likely last in GC.

First team is off 14:30, last team 15:54.

 

[noob]

OK so the race starts tomorrow?

right, yeah, didn't notice that a couple of teams were still missing on Tissot

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah... pretty sure it will.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Don't tell me that tomorrow's a TTT , what a joke man.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Well at least QS is back to being QS

Remember all the cr*p they got for supposedly wasting money on an "old" rider like Merlier?
