Paris-Nice 2026, March 8-15

Misplaced insularity. Nice scenery though.

More epic though under horrible conditions. It's what they used to have to take on as their responsibility, as part of their privilege.

 

[Heston]

Surely this sprint posed a bigger threat of crashes than riding up the mountain that doesnt even have snow

 

[Old-school]

He regrets not having shown off the French champion's jersey

 

[Potomac]

Is Sunday's route at risk of being modified too?

I'm with RedRick on this one. It's a joke nowadays the extreme weather protocol.

No I don't think so

May just go do a wellness check at Chris Froome's house cause nobody's heard of him in ages

wait when they discover they have to ride up to 1000 meters Col de la Porte and ride down to the valley

As I said, this is what happens when everything revolves around them. The riders these days have been convinced they don't have any responsibility to the race. It will only get worse.

I mock Ineos all the time, but I have to praise them for having a rain jacket that isn't black.

Changing the stage was all about descents.

 

[Heston]

Changing the stage was all about descents.

What descent was there between the finish line today and the planned finish line on the mountain?

 

[Netserk]

conditions in auron were perfectly fine

shameful that they already moved the finish yesterday as it obviously wasnt the part of the route that was most vulnerable

The pandering to crybabies will continue until the morale improves.

I think modern cycling is inherently more dangerous than cycling in the 80s. Because of the way they ride now, going so fast with bicycles designed like F1, and many other things that everyone know very well. So race organizers have to manage. They can't ignore. It's not just a matter of pseudo-morality or self protection, they are responsible.
Beside, the riders are putting pressure on the organizers because they are already taking enormous risks and they don't want to take more. Who can blame.
It's not a big deal to change the plan on very rare occasion.
And I am so happy to see Dorian winning this memorable stage 🥸🤩

No. When people complain about something while absolving themselves of any responsibility for said issue, and then raise the issue to get their way when the issue isn't even a problem but it's just for convenience, it's absolutely an issue.

It's like a pack-a-day smoker complaining about maybe there's trace amounts of radon gas in something which might cause lung cancer.
