Tour of Norway 2024, May 23-26

[Volderke]

Holly f-ck!!! I have skimmed this race a few times. I came home and saw YouTube thought I should watch stage 1 highlights. I am absolutely blown away at all the photography and natural beauty. This race is gorgeous!! People along the root are drinking beer, probably other things, but there is a decent amount of snow on the ground but most people are wearing shorts and enjoying the weather.. It's like watching a post card or travel advertisement!!

it is absolutely stunning.
You can check lanterne rouge's coverage of this race, e.g. 2022 when Remco won is something I remember, not for Remco but mostly for the landscape!

I think there are better climbers (Lemmen, a few Norvegians...) then Nys. With great legs Nys could resist. Nys had a nice win yesterday, but I didn't have the impression he had the legs of Hungary. His period of top form has been going on for quite some time now. As a non-climber, he will have to be absolutely top to survive the steepest passages of the final climb.

You should tag @Armchair cyclist if you want such a thing to happen.

Visma this season…

I have to disagree with the Scottish announcer...I believe the final climb suits Nys

WvA brought back to the bunch by Bora team car to fuel speculation over transfer ...

I hope he doesn't get penalized for that...it seemed like a rather long pull

We've had Stonehouse winning a stage in the Giro.
Now Stonetown is on the attack in Norway.

Van Aert cooked again?

32 riders left

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Only 1.6k of climbing left, surprised at how controlled it's been given that Trek aren't doing it.

 

[Berniece]

Nys… if it goes too quickly ride your own pace. He’s going to lose a lot

 

[Samamba]

Laurence > Nys

 

[DJO]

Nys with a mechanical?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Laurance is climbing insanely well here.

 

[postmanhat]

Nice to see what Laurance is capable of when gets a chance to ride for himself.

 

[DJO]

Laurance for the win here.

Seems like everyone is riding for Lidl Trek here, always looking around

Don't understand why Holter and Laurance aren't taking any initiative given the GC situation.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

if Hayter loses, he should be sacked.
