My big take away is how solid Jorgenson looks, Vingegaard doing some good stuff in France..with no Yates and Kuss missing in action, leaning towards UAE but Bora is also looking pretty solid.. Now for the big questions of pecking order, Del Toro is going with Tadej to TDF, what are other teams going to do? Will all the best skip the Giro?

Are all cross race references banned? It's not exactly a spoiler is it...

I dunno... guess it's not relevant to anything happening today... but you never know.
Personally, I don't think anything is a spoiler.
Saying that 2 or more Visma riders are all doing well is a spoiler? If it is certainly wasn't meant to be, CN has posted results, well before I write my silliness..
Is this also a " cross race reference " is saying that MvdP is cyclocross world champion and also doing well in another race a double cross? I hope I can avoid XXX references.. Don't want that algorithm mixing with bike racing

In my defence, I read it just as much as a reference to today's action.
I absolutely think that 24ish hours should be more than enough for a "spoiler" period.
I am wondering were Narvaez, Wellens, Vine play into the UAE plan, it doesn't look like Del Toro and Christen are going to burn out, but how do you know..

So... tomorrow's stage too hard for MVDP? Coz... I'm starting to see a pattern here:
| Date | Result | Race | Distance | Points PCS | Points UCI | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 09.03 › 15.03 | Tirreno-Adriatico (2.UWT) | more | ||||||
| 13.03 | 34 | 29 | Stage 5 - Marotta-Mondolfo › Mombaroccio | 184 | ||||
| 12.03 | 1 | 15 | Stage 4 - Tagliacozzo › Martinsicuro | 213 | 50 | 60 | ||
| 11.03 | 125 | 26 | Stage 3 - Cortona › Magliano de' Marsi | 221 | ||||
| 10.03 | 1 | 27 | Stage 2 - Camaiore › San Gimignano | 206 | 50 | 60 | ||
| 09.03 | 144 | 144 | Stage 1 (ITT) - Lido di Camaiore › Lido di Camaiore | 11.5 | ||||
| 28.02 | 1 | Omloop Nieuwsblad ME (1.UWT) |
I wish I knew French then I could say that Visma results are pretty much established, almost over, outcome is assumed throughout Europe.

He was suffering on the back of the group, didn't look terrible, still turning over the pedals but couldn't keep speed ..just looked like he blew up.. Shame he had a bad day. He was a minute back yesterday now he is 10minutes back..
Disgraceful from Roglic. Could follow race leader team mate to the line but "pull" for 5 seconds. He should have absolutely bury himself to shave few seconds off from Pellizzari even if he ended up losing a minute himself.

Last time a Tirreno stage finished in Camerino was in 2009. Only the final 50m or so are the same as tomorrow, but as Scarponi won, here's a video anyway

UAE really wasn’t that strong, they should go for it. See if they can break Del Toro
Not disgraceful if it’s the way Bora decided to go about this race, i. e. co leaders with both having freedom. I also see problems with a strategy above having a rider who is in contention for GC “wait” for a teammate who is currently at top of GC. Risks the chance that they will both fall out of contention.
I’ll answer myself. Apparently he cramped up.
