Nah - it'll be like it ever was

ESPN Deportes will broadcast the finish and highlights each day.

Last year this involved a helicopter!
Who know what further progress we will have this year.
I believe in miracles.

Re:

The Tour Femenino seemed to have better tv coverage than that. Which would make it probably the only women's race in the world to have better coverage than its male equivalent. Any idea why that is?

In an interview Dani Diaz said that his shape is comparable to his 2015 shape, we should get a great show.

Nibali wants the win!

Nice ! do you have a link to the interview by any chance?

 

[May0maniac]

I found it on the Italian website tuttobici.com
http://www.tuttobiciweb.it/?page=news&cod=86383&tp=n
Dani Diaz:
«Sono pronto a iniziare un nuovo anno, mi sento bene, ho tanta voglia e motivazione. La mia condizione è simile a quella di un anno fa. Dovrò confrontarmi con corridori già competitivi come i corridori locali per cui il Tour de San Luis è la corsa dell’anno e i grandi campioni qui seduti al mio fianco, sono pronto alla sfida. Una caduta mi ha fatto perdere un paio di giorni di preparazione ma sto bene e sono fiducioso».

Only his teammates will be less good I'm afraid... Ramos and Diniz were great last year.

I agree, have my doubts about Delio Fernandez performing well outside of Portugal, but we'll see.
On another note, I've heard a few people hyping Richard Carapaz, the first non-Colombian to win the Vuelta de la Juventud, he has also won a stage at the Clásico RCN, he seems to be the real deal.

 

[proffz]

arriagada from chile, winner in 2011, is in good shape...

Re: Re:

Delio Fernandez btw missed his flight so he'll arrive just before the race.

Sagan looks like a bodybuilder compared to these guys; his arms look almost as big as Quintana's waist.

Ye Carapaz should be great, he is just a great climber and he should aim for this race as its his chance to get a pro contract for next year. I already mentioned him in this thread on the 21st of december when his team was named to be in the race. The only problem for him will be the TTT, he will likely lose some time there.

there is a clock until the start,probably around 20:30GMT+2

 

[jens_attacks]

the rojas brothers will win this bike race. or just beat to death half of the peloton.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Who's the favorite for the TTT? Tinkoff?

IMO yes.

I'm more curious to see what pro-continental or continental teams will do well.

Re:

Oh crap, those two are riding San Luis?

 

[Jspear]

Sagan has not shaved! Now I know he won't place 2nd on the sprint stages...he will be third or 4th.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Maybe it's more aero and we'll soon see all riders with hairy legs (I hope not); I remember test results showed that beards is more aero than shaved but shaved arms are more aero than hairy arms

 

[argyllflyer]

The week of staring at ropey fixed camera feeds has arrived! Woo!

I've heard that hair on your legs actually doesn't have much, if any, affect on aerodynamics. It's just there for road rash really. Basically if he crashes then good luck. Having Mr. tomniss legs myself I speak from experience.
