People say Pog is dominating at Strade. But look at Vingegaard, he left everyone in the dust in just one stage.

The difference is that he decided to cruise for 80 km before attacking for a few minutes while Pogačar attacked first and then cruised to the line.

Gotta love Eurosport... epic stage going on in Paris-Nice but they're still sticking to the schedule, a boring sprint stage in Tirreno.
yeah, no idea if it's the same everywhere, but over here they even stuck to showing Tirreno on both of their TV channels, ES1 and ES2

Im glad Jonas won and dont get me wrong he did nothing wrong tactically but it kinda dosent help the wheelsucking image, this was wheelsucking WC gold but again he wasnt suppose to do anything else so no critics from me here.

Nice win glad he won but above all happy Jonas didnt crash like last years edition. Grueful stage this in that terms I think the crash that happened on that downwhill today was nasty too.

Absolutely pathetic from Red Bull. You had a 4vs1. You should've kept attacking Jonas over and over again until he completely breaks. But of course they're riding for UCI points. This is why they need to reduce the amount of points you get for lesser placings so that we get an actual race instead of whatever this is.
Tell me you don't understand race dynamics without telling me you don't understand race dynamics.

Onley has completely disappeared on the final climb
I noticed his bike was orange and black, as opposed to the orange and white of Tarling's. I wonder if that is almost last seasons or a spare, in which case there was maybe not a transponder. Looking at results, no way Tarling would rise up to and drop him, surely he would follow him in until the line?

So perhaps he will appear later, or it is a super-crack after his crash and mechanical

Given the conditions, impressive ride, wet, cold, miserable..
He went when he had to be he didn't look to be riding his best, his 1k surge really cracked everyone..
He really has a great GC buffer, Danny Martinez really looked in good form.. Some really impressive rides from guys that are not regular contenders.. Lenny Martinez jumped up way up into 6th..
Vingegaard calling himself " a trendsetter " with his MC Hammer pants

Totally different scenarios. One day race vs. stage race. Vingegaard wanted to go from penultimate climb, as per morning plans, but then the race situation dictated otherwise, rain, cold, crash, then just sit in and do what's necessary. Time gaps already established, no need to do more, which was already dominant.

yeah, he changed bikes earlier on. Probably twice. He was now added to the result as 18th and Tejada ahead of him is a new addition as well, I think.

Gotta love Eurosport... epic stage going on in Paris-Nice but they're still sticking to the schedule, a boring sprint stage in Tirreno.

Not sure we can gauge anything from this result... Vingegaard is obviously not in awful shape, but still in this situation he pretty much had to win. He's still not a fashionista, that's for sure.
Gentlemen's agreement in the other race, everyone agreed not to race until 3 k to go..snooze fest..

Let's just hope Vingo stays upright. Or is there some sort of curse in this P-N yellow jersey..? (him crashing out of it last year and today Ayuso crashing out from it) I really hope he grabs the GC this time.

Presumably them having won the exclusive rights to Tirreno in most countries is coupled with a binding agreement to put the race on the main channel.
