Why no Mohoric?
No. It can be seen on the map.Apparently Remco will arrive Wednesday morning around 6hour local time.
Would suprise me if he isn't feeling the jetlag on sunday.
Isn't that like a the height increase of a double bridge?
edit:
Is this that climb? because i can't make sense of the height/elevation in relation to what i see in the topic.

0.86 km ride with 83 m of climbing, average grade of 9.6 %. Check it out!veloviewer.com
Seems to start very steep (if that is included), if you are explosive you can take some time here.
- Quid France: Both Alaphilippe (if he's good enough) and cosnefroy will want to wait for the final climb. Hope they don't get in each others way.
No Cosnefroy is mind boggling. No Gaudu either is very weird as well. There's probably some reason to the madness that I'm not aware of though. Amazing team nonetheless.Cosnefroy isn't riding. There was a bit of a discussion about it over in the Canadian thread. French team:
Cosnefroy stated prior to Bretagne that he had no interest in coming to Wollongong.No Cosnefroy is mind boggling. No Gaudu either is very weird as well. There's probably some reason to the madness that I'm not aware of though. Amazing team nonetheless.
That is indeed very strange.Cosnefroy stated prior to Bretagne that he had no interest in coming to Wollongong.
My top favourite is Evenepoel. My outside bet (and somehow hope) is Neilson Powless. Somehow I think this race will not be won by one of the big favourites but by someone like Powless.
I think it's great if Alaphilippe is in top form.The French team is great.
I really don't hope that.
We need a big rider in the rainbow jersey and cycling history tells us that that is by far the most likely outcome.
Well, I don't want some random rider to win it. But someone like Powless who I have a soft spot for, who always does too much work and seems to like longer races would be nice. A bit like Pedersen deserved the win despite not being a big favourite.
Not sure about Powless' form, though.
Of course statistically it's most likely that a big name wins it. But in races with van Aert van Aert is now always the over-favourite, but in the end that's his problem and it might be the problem of the whole field if they again orientate towards someone who everyone is playing against. Hm. The Belgians have really not been convincing tactically, will they do better this time?
Ala won't be in form, unfortunately.
Van der Poel I have no idea about, but it doesn't look likely to me that he's in best form.
Pogacar would be my second guess after Evenepoel.
After the last two years?I really don't hope that.

I agree with the latter but thinking Evenepoel might be too cooked.My top favourite is Evenepoel. My outside bet (and somehow hope) is Neilson Powless. Somehow I think this race will not be won by one of the big favourites but by someone like Powless.
Well, I don't think we particularly need so then. It was no disaster that Pedersen had a year in the jersey between two of the highest profile riders in the peloton.
