Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[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.

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.

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.

Martinez is in Group 4, Wow

 

[Samamba]

So losers of the day are Martinez and UAE.

Rest is fine.

 

[Tim Cahill]

2025 Ineos have half the talent and 3 times the racing spirit.

Feel sorry for Joao, he's been shafted a bit by his racing schedule but he doesn't help himself sometimes either, noob will not be happy.

 

[Netserk]

Merlier finally exposes his green jersey. He is in the Almeida chase group.

 

[Salvarani]

This edition is quite fun

 

[Netserk]

Gap slowly increases, but is mostly stable.

 

[E_F_]

How exciting this would have been if Visma wasn't leading the GC..! Still good fun, mind you.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Almeida in the Martinez group? That's what TV2 Denmark is speculating. I haven't seen any pictures myself, so just asking.

 

[YavorD]

At least we won't blame TTT for deciding the GC 😂.

The graphic has the KOM in the peloton.

 

[Samamba]

At least Ineos should try attacking right? They need to go for that win. Ineos had GC win in the bag probably, they are fine.

Not now I mean in the last 10km maybe

 

[Netserk]

Jorgenson 6"
Skjelmose 4"
Lipowitz 2"

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lipowitz in a good spot to go for the win, at least he's managed to get it down to a shootout, he just needs Jorgenson to stuff it up on one of the weekend stages, problem is he's got a pure ragtag team behind him.
