Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

[Mayomaniac]

Both Pedersen and Tarling are in great shape atm.

UAE was not mosqua today

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

I thought today's stage was going to be a transitional one...

Me too, had I not taken a radom look at PCS, I'd missed all of it.

 

[E_F_]

Pedersen got bailed out by that Schachmann attack who inexplicitly continued going despite 10 guys in his wheel. Perfect delivery to the 300m mark, if Pedersen were on his own he might have been mugged.

Or he might have been on a better wheel...

Usually pedersen wins this easily. Cold, rainy, windy, long hard day

 

[Brullnux]

Did anyone miss out really badly, other than Martinez?

 

[Red Rick]

Are people really surprised a big elite TTer has a bit of a long sprint on him after a hard day

 

[kn0s]

Think they need to throw more money at that team. Must be possible to buy your way out of this kind of performance.

 

[Brullnux]

Are people really surprised a big elite TTer has a bit of a long sprint on him after a hard day

Given Pedersen has beaten VdP after a hard day in a sprint, yeah. It was less that Tarling came 2nd and more that he came within half a wheel of a double GW winner.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Faserr]

Another edition of poor Almeida searching for ways too loose a good GC position when he is the team leader.

 

[E_F_]

You can see why Skjelmose dreams of winning TdF. Or something. Not that he isn't doing well of course!

 

[Netserk]

Campenaerts accelerated on the climb and then it split on the descent.

 

[E_F_]

Campenaerts accelerated on the climb and then it split on the descent.

Mixed emotions about his transfer. On the one hand, it's awesome that he's finally playing a major role, on the other it feels wrong for such a wonderful underdog to be helping one of the big teams.

 

[Netserk]

Pedersen takes green with 1 point ahead of Merlier.

Jorgenson only 6 points behind after all his sprints for intermediates. He will likely win that too.

 

[RedheadDane]

Everyone was expecting a mass sprint.
It became a Mads sprint.

 

[yaco]

Expect lots of withdrawals over the weekend as some teams have nothing left to achieve in the race.

 

[Netserk]

Mads Pedersen almost crying from the cold.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It sounds like I didn't miss anything. Just a normal sprint stage won by one of the faster riders.

 

[kingjr]

Tomorrow's stage really ought to be a TT

 

[E_F_]

Tomorrow's stage really ought to be a TT

Not looking forward to the uphill sprint?

 

[Netserk]

Tomorrow's stage really ought to be a TT

Yes. I miss the Col d'Èze TT.

 

[RedheadDane]

It sounds like I didn't miss anything. Just a normal sprint stage won by one of the faster riders.

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.
Classic old mads sprint.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.
Classic old mads sprint.

29 is old now? I'll never be able to understand your definition.

 

[tobydawq]

Is this how Dr Dre got his name?

Yes, I'm pretty sure he's the user @Andre and for coolness reasons the An was subsequently dropped.
