Good for him, but the more important thing from him was the day before, he broke all his strava power numbers for long efforts and according to Patxi Vila he was the MVP of the day, controling from the Miserat (in a peloton of only 20-25 riders at some point) to the second last climb.

I hope he has some chances in smaller races with that legs.

Does anyone of you know more about Fietzke from the Rookies? He was riding until end of november and since then he dissappeared. Got his knee pain more seriously?

He Shared some pics from Training from January, so I guess he trains

Who will be the leader at Tirreno-Adriatico? Roglic, Hindley, or Pellizzari?

Whoever does best, don’t think they start with clear leaders. Except maybe Roglic

The route doesn't really favor a rigid hierarchy. But you can have Pellizzari and Hindley be more aggressive if Roglic is the faster ITTer and if he's in stomping form again.

Yeah, but I don’t think any one of them will be waited for if he can’t follow during a stage, do you?

 

[MLKarlos]

Do we know (besides Giulio, Danny and Jai) who will ride the Giro? Or at least whos on the short List?

Sounds like a good group. Maybe one more Rider for the Sprint preparation instead of Aleotti/Wandahl/Zwiehoff?

Based on TDU, Haimar Etxebarria seems like he will be DVP's leadout, while Marit will ride with Meeus.

The Race from Martinez yesterday was already better then anything he showed last year

Yes.
Although I find Vlasov's performance in Valencia more significant after four years of decline.

Undoubtedly, the team's performance is showing very positive signs. Pellizari in Valencia's was at the level of Almeida. Considering that he was pulling the entire stage he was impressive..

For those who analyze everything in terms of results, it would be a bad race for RB Bora, but as you say, Martínez didn't look like the same rider as last year. His attack 50 kilometers from the finish reminded me a lot of his 2024 Algarve performance in terms of explosiveness. Simply trying to match McNulty for over an hour of racing burned him out. He's not the rider with the most powerful engine, but I have a good feeling about Foia and Malhão if it all comes down to the final meters. Etxeberria and Tratnik also performed better than their final positions suggest.
