Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[Samamba]

Best echelon action of the season and we missed it?

Maybe it split in the descent?

 

[Netserk]

Ineos is with Visma. Super strong group. Lipowitz is also there?

 

[Samamba]

Ity's good for Visma that Ineos joined, now they really have a chance

 

[Netserk]

Almeida/chase group:

 

[Heston]

Proper racing. Chapeau Visma

 

[Netserk]

Skjelmose has Pedersen. Lipowitz has Sobrero. Schachmann on a free ride. Rest is Ineos and Visma.

 

[Netserk]

Nearly 40" at the top of the climb.

 

[Netserk]

Several groups behind the Almeida/first chase group.

 

[Faserr]

Front group too strong for UAE

 

[Samamba]

Doubt that GPS is correct, but there's just no way you can handle a group with that many big engines riding full.

I really wonder where it split. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened in the descent.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Looks like a free stage for Pedersen?

 

[Netserk]

Good that Merlier is dropped. QS won't chase.

 

[Rob5091]

Amazing luck for Astana lol, make the queen stage dramatically easier so Champoussin stays top ten... superb

Team Vino approves of this meassge!

[Brullnux]

Skjelmose has Pedersen. Lipowitz has Sobrero. Schachmann on a free ride. Rest is Ineos and Visma.

Ridiculous engines in that Visma and Ineos contingent, too. Foss, Tarling, Jungels, Affini, Campaenarts, Jorgenson, Sheffield.

 

[Netserk]

Two UAE riders chase in the 3rd group, far back.

 

[Heston]

UAE in the dust. You love to see it

 

[Netserk]

Perhaps Merlier is in the 2nd group, even if I haven't seen him. QS help UAE chase. Jayco and Movistar as well.

Martinez is in the 3rd group or even further back.

 

[Berniece]

Perhaps Merlier is in the 2nd group, even if I haven't seen him. QS help UAE chase.

Martinez is in the 3rd group or even further back.

Or they chase for Van Wilder

 

[Samamba]

Apart from Lenny Martinez is there someone else out of the top 10 in group 3?

I think Astana missed out too.

 

[Samamba]

I think Astana missed out too.

I saw at least 3 Astana's in group 3 (I don't think any other team has similar helmets?). They are not waiting so I think they are fine

 

[Netserk]

Deep rims and rain jackets help the action on a day like this.

Yeah, Teunissen and someone else from Astana pulling in the 2nd group.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

God damn it, the one day where I actually have time to watch the race I didn't bother to check updates until now because I thought the profile was not leading to anything anyway.

Fantastic to see UAE in the dust although I feel bad for Almeida. Thank god my man LipoDRIP has made it, lets gooo.
