I can also imagine a decent Vine. He is building up towards the Giro, probably had altitude camp, and I would think Almeida is getting worse due to a long spring season. Then again UAE riders don't seem to feel that effect.5th stage finishing at Thyon 2000 looks a monster. Almeida to win this.
According to Lennert Van Eetvelt, Evenepoel would like to race immediately. "Is that so? We didn't even talk about that this morning", laughs the double Olympic champion.
"We have Casper Pedersen here who can do a decent sprint. Although there are guys here who can show even better credentials. The initiative will not come from us."
"The run-up to the final kilometers will be important. A bit like the run-up to La Redoute in Liège. So hopefully we will do better than last Sunday", he says with a wink.
"We just have to be well grouped and neutralize late attacks. There are bonuses, so if there is an attack, I will have to go along. But we are not going to take too many risks."
Was that the same guy who thought his pronunciation of Como sounded like Cornwall?Today's stage finish in Fribourg.
Spare a thought for that guy, who was so bothered by Rob Hatch correctly pronouncing the name, he had to make a whole thread about it.
I think so, somewhere around that moment in the race. Maybe if they catch the front group we can see GC riders battle for those two intermediate sprints, otherwise it's waiting until the last few kilometersSo today's coverage is set to begin shortly after the last climb?
Fun following a race on PCS, isn't it?So today's coverage is set to begin shortly after the last climb?
there's no cut-off age, but it comes down to the year of birth. As he was born after January 1st 2000, he is still eligible. Will be the same in the Tour (unless they change the rules).Evenepoel is riding in the jersey for youngsters, but he's already 25 years old. I thought this jersey was [0-24]?

Sunny weather and the forested scenery couldn't get any better!Perfect conditions for a bike race, very unlike TdR
Christen sick?
He's been injured for two months. He may not be ready for the buildup of competition days.
he crashed in Flèche Wallonne and had problems due to pain the days afterSo injured he did insanely good in Fleche and pretty good yesterday? No, does not make sense at all.
Not sense: Pogacar TDF 2023, Vingegaard TDF 2024.So injured he did insanely good in Fleche and pretty good yesterday? No, does not make sense at all.
Naaa, don´t know if you can count the 4 minutes from yesterday as a consecutive day of competition...Not sense: Pogacar TDF 2023, Vingegaard TDF 2024.
FW one day. This become noticeable when you have consecutive days of competition.
I was assuming guys doing the Giro would be peaking for a few weeks so might not be too pushed nowI can also imagine a decent Vine.
