Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[pelotonIQ]

I was watching Tirreno, wth happened here?

Riders being afraid of rain and complaining. But now race is resumed.

 

[Netserk]

50-75 riders in the peloton.

They did. All this time you have been strawmanning and inventing things I have never said. You even started to talk about Quintana whom I never brought up

It's very easy for you just to say that the riders are at fault here when NOTHING suggests it. There was nothing but confusion among them when the moto came up and the decision was made because of circumstances that were unknown to the riders.

Of course they might be softer than in the olden days, but today's stage is simply not indicative of that. There are examples enough to prove your point but today's stage was simply not one.

I mean since the restart, why is the peloton smallish and why are teams riding like mad man.

Lol.

They neutralised the race for a period because of the weather. I think due to a team car and a police bike crashing, rather than the conditions being deemed too dangerous for racing. Don't quote me on it though...!!!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Some sunshine now, what a wild ride.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I've done that numerous times (in summer).

Chapeau - I have never even been to the North Sea. But I hear it's freezing cold even in summer.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

did you see the riders shaking cold. warming their hands on the motorbike engines? did you see the crashed car and motorbike?

If they got on their bikes, they might keep themselves warm.

 

[Netserk]

I think Lipo is in the 2nd peloton. EDIT: Maybe that was the first peloton.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I see Lipowitz has gone to the Jai Hindley School of Wearing Rainjackets.

The Danish North Sea coast is a favoured holiday destination among many Germans. There are also popular beaches in Belgium, the Netherlands, and I think perhaps a couple in the South East of England at least.

Ala starting to undress. What a great race!

Does going out in the water - not really swimming - in your regular clothes in late-ish spring count?

In my defence, I was at a school on the west coast of Jutland, we went to the beach, and... teenagers getting crazy ideas.

 

[Samamba]

Sivakov has te be sick or something. Was horrible yesterday too

 

[Landeirovic]

Sivakov has te be sick or something. Was horrible yesterday too

last week him was sick

 

[topcat]

Vingo for the stage

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I see Lipowitz has gone to the Jai Hindley School of Wearing Rainjackets.

What did he do? And what did Hindley do?

 

[pelotonIQ]

Jorgenson could win GC, depends if Vingegaard snakes him or not. They should atleast give Jorgenson a chance to defend it vs Almeida.

Ala starting to undress. What a great race!

If he keeps undressing; what a race, indeed!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Small peloton lead by the beasts Mads Pedersen and Nils Politt

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard and Big Jorge have one helper left.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Mads making others shiver now.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

instead of risking hitting the Decathlon car in that bend, or not having a police moto in fron of them cause it crashed

I'm not saying that, I'm saying stopping in a rainstorm caused them to shiver.

 

[pelotonIQ]

Daring today, are we?

Should atleast give Jorgenson a chance to defend it vs Almeida instead of Vingegaard taking it away from him.
