UAE Tour 2023, February 20-26 (women's race February 9-12)

Plapp has just come off a large training block in the Victorian Alps. He's been smashing hills very much like the finish on stage 3, so he should be cherry ripe.

A little known fact is that Plapp stayed in Australia after the 2022 World's - So he managed to spend 5 months in Australia.

Poor guy

That explains his performances.

Well that sucks, was looking to how he would go on the two climbs.

Did he get ANY sleep at all? 5 months is a lot of doorknocking.

It's live on on Eurosport/GCN as well. Otherwise try Tiz: https://tiz-cycling-live.io/live.php

They're now on the final climb, 18km to go. Time for a Remco attack soon.

Kind of surreal to see Merlier leading the peloton up a mountain.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Merlier started his sprint too early.

 

[Lequack]

I predict McNulty will win this stage.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Poppel noticed Merlier was dropped and has now started his leadout.

I really like how excited the Arabic commentator are, compared to Kirby just cracking jokes.

 

[Lequack]

Pace is pretty slow, peleton is still a hundred strong.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Schmid looking cool and collected.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

UAE upping the pace.

 

[Lequack]

Finally some racing.

[DNP-Old]

Tarling!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE should just set the tempo for an extended period rather than 30 seconds of pace and then a pointless attack.

This is Marc Soler after all.

Getting shepherded like a proper member of Patrick's sheepherd should.
