Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

I'm not sure everyone would see him in time then, so I guess someone would crash in to him.

It’s almost like they anticipated this danger completely

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Crap conditions at the line

 

[Netserk]

The whole peloton is in a single file, but they don't really take any time on the break. Looks really good for Storer.

 

[Berniece]

You can't signal on the thing just after a slight bend in the road, that's just dangerous for the guy signalling.

Then they needed to place a big signalling thing there. The ones you see from Boplan. This could’ve been way worse.

They had a guy signalling the potential danger and everyone except Skjelmose managed to dodge it perfectly fine. Can't really fault the organisers too much. More of a mistake by Skjelmose.

Skjelmose made a mistake, he makes a split second decision to change direction. That can also happen with some sort of signalisation. Maybe it would be a way better if the signal is high enough but before you know it riders crash into it.

To the concept of actually placing a flag man on the danger and elevate them so riders can see it ahead. Instead they have the flag man off the side of the road (because danger) where it almost looks like any rando fan waving whatever.

Crap conditions at the line

Looked like heavy rain, at least for now the road is dry.

They will lose 2 minutes in the last 15 km

You think everyone in a large group sees all of this clearly? Skeljmose sees this he isn’t skipping across the danger at the last moment

 

[Peyroteo94]

That will likely end his spring.

He lands on his hip first, vertically. It looked like the kind of crash that will affect him for a long time.

I remembered TGH in the Giro

The point is that that guy really does not look like a random fan. If you think as a rider that a guy with fluo things everywhere waving a yellow fluo flag is a random fan than you're just stupid.

I'm not saying it couldn't have been signalled better, but Skjelmose is also at fault.

 

[Netserk]

About time, Bahrain!

The man is wearing a motorcycle uniform and helmet and is waving the triangular yellow flag in exactly the way they always do. You're reaching so hard here.

Hopefully finishing in Auron in PN will lead to the TDF going there in the future

What do you like about it?

They had the perfect opportunity last year as it's Nice who pays for the finish there (and Isola 2000).

What do you like about it?

Bonette.

dude bounced off the road for a reason. And it wasn’t because he understood the danger was there.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

On a nice day the scenery is quite lovely, and you can see some snow on the mountains in the background. (The weather at the finish line looks pretty crap though, so it's just a matter of time before the road gets wet again.)

About 23km to go

 

[Netserk]

Only RedBull and Astana chase. Stage win is up in front, all bonus seconds gone too.

 

[Potomac]

Astana protecting two top ten places from Storer i guess.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Peloton going with a bit more purpose now.

 

[Salvarani]

Even if it is a short stage, the weather and the past days will be felt. Hoping for some fireworks on the climb.

 

[Salvarani]

Bora now!

 

[Samamba]

Other teams protecting their GC spots now. Don't think break will make it. well maybe Storer could, but doubt it. Depends on how much energy he has spent.
