At least it gives hope to Valverde for another 10 years of racing.

I really can't believe you just said that!

 

[Lequack]

I wonder if having a TT bike is even an advantage on this short prologue.

 

[Scarponi]

That’s a pretty good list of former winners

True, this years overall winner will be Konrad or Mühlberger. Anything else would be a surprise in my eyes..

Prologue is underway (stream on the website). Absolutely pouring. First 10 or so riders got through in the dry, but the course (with some city cobbles) looks a mess in the wet.

 

[Jungle Cycle]

that is crazy....
+1, +2min in 2,5km.... lol

 

[sir fly]

Charming course, but very tricky. Even more so soaked.

 

[Faserr]

Ackermann smashing it in the rain, 29,7 km/h 2km

 

[TourOfSardinia]

plenty of puddles
but
back to live racing!

 

[tobydawq]

Nice of the organisers to have dug a canal in the middle of the road...

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Seems to drying out a bit now.
Has Davide Rebellin been out yet?

 

[sir fly]

Quite a celebratory scream.

Nikodemus Holler from BikeAid with a win in the Prologue

 

[SafeBet]

So Nikodemus Holler wins the prologue?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Earns1985]

Holler won and he seems very happy in the interview..

 

[Lequack]

Tomorrow's finish

 

[Lequack]

Six man breakaway today.

[Lequack]

 

[BlueRoads]

I love how well the commentators pronounce the names.

Grande Rebellin best of the senior class

Nice ride by Bergstrom. Let's see what he can do at the MTT.

 

[Lequack]

So basically this leaves three guys for the overall GC?
