Paris-Nice 2026, March 8-15

[Tim Cahill]

Some weird riders having brilliant days in the hills, the likes of Plowright and the Van Dijkes seem to be brutal weather specialists in the mould of Bobby Traksel.

 

[Heston]

Onley getting caught by Vauquelin?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

So when will they finally wait for Vauquelin? Did he commit a war crime or something?

 

[Potomac]

Did onley crash or was just a mechanical?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Did onley crash or was just a mechanical?

Both, in that order, the mechanical is the one he didn‘t come back from

 

[Samamba]

Steinhauser actually really strong. 1'20 behind only. He's back to his old level it seems

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Where's ajuso?

 

[Berniece]

Anyone else on any other team, would have done the same thing. You have one team with 4 riders, who drilled it when there was a crash. Anyone who would pull with them would be a massive idiot. WTF are you even talking about?

I understand Vingegaard isn't taking a pull, that's logical. It's that he thinks after them doing ALL the work, it makes sense to just take that sprint.

 

[Berniece]

Where's ajuso?

Crashed, DNF

 

[tobydawq]

Where's ajuso?

Horror crash half an hour ago. If you mean Ayuso, that is.

 

[Netserk]

I don't really understand how or why he was dropped from the front group.

maybe he didnt know the status of ayuso and wondered if he should drop back ?

 

[Rou]

Where's ajuso?

Don't tell me you missed the whole party, mate?
Ayuso crashed hard, Vingegaard trolling Redbull..
Pure ciclismo today!
Oh, and Ineos riding like clowns.

 

[tobydawq]

maybe he didnt know the status of ayuso and wondered if he should drop back ?

Yeah, could be. A pity because one would think he could do well in this weather.

 

[Sciatic]

how far back is the peloton . . . if there is one?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Don't tell me you missed the whole party, mate?

Ah yeah I missed everything it's my birthday so Paris nice is not the only party happening right nwk

 

[Joelsim]

how far back is the peloton . . . if there is one?

The only thing anyone knows is that the peloton is somewhere in France.

 

[Samamba]

Ineos choice for Onley today instead of Vauquelin turned out to be the wrong one

You've just written the race report for Cyclingnews. That;s it. That's all that's needed.

they couldn't know of his crash and mech problems

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ah yeah I missed everything it's my birthday so Paris nice is not the only party happening right nwk

Congratulations!

 

[pastronef]

Jonas smiling at the camera. I love that

Hey may try to drop them on the climb as well. It's a race. He's trying to win. Those are the things someone who is trying to win the overall, will do.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Steinhauser might be in no mans land but he's done the right thing here

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Ah yeah I missed everything it's my birthday so Paris nice is not the only party happening right nwk

Happy Birthday!

I disagree, but it doesn't matter
