Looking at the route, Laporte could win the GC.

The whole finale, from the time the break got caught up until the finish, felt really pedestrian. Probably a lot of tired legs from the 2700m of climbing, but the field is super weak too. If Gaviria can't get a result here, I'm not sure how Caja Rural is going to line up at the Tour.

The route is so weak I agree, Laporte could actually win GC. Shambolic route tbh.

The cast-aside Bastien Tronchon 2nd in his first (finished) race, one mans trash is another mans treasure.

Ben Oliver podium too, they have scouted well.

 

[Samamba]

Who tf is Ben Oliver

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ben Oliver podium too, they have scouted well.

I thought he might be a surfer or something who was thrown ashore on a Spanish beach and ended up in bike race by accident, but apparently he's a not so great MTBer.

I think he's quite a good MTBer because I remember him from the commie games but in all honesty I could be thinking of Sam Gaze.

Please...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Who tf is Ben Oliver

The 2nd greatest....

 

[Tim Cahill]

Maybe the real question we need to be asking is who ISN'T Ben Oliver. It's just a perspective not being considered here.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The greatest is back 😍

 

[RedheadDane]

The 2nd greatest....

Surely, he's the 3rd greatest...

Think at the same time Modern Adventures should have sent De bod to this race, instead of UAE.
