UAE Tour 2024, February 19-25

[Logic-is-your-friend]

VIne down, what is he doing with that moustache by the way, he looks like a paedophile

This is so disrespectful towards all paedophiles without a moustache.

 

[Didinho]

Merlier with ease again. Really the fastest of this field.

 

[scribers]

They definitely can’t let him into the fan experience areas

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Arvid de Kleijn deserves a lot more credit than he gets, second twice in a row in this field is really impressive. Between him and Dainese, Tudor have quietly built a sprint team better than two-thirds of the WT.

 

[scribers]

Isn’t cav in this race?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some guys just can’t rock a stache

You need 40 years of hard manual labour down at the iron foundry to pull off that sort of thing successfully, not a young 60 kilo aussie lad who's seen too few winters.

 

[Berniece]

VIne down, what is he doing with that moustache by the way, he looks like a paedophile

It's a trend. I went to a bar and there was a group of 25-30 year olds, a bit hipster, but all of them had it.

 

[Samamba]

These sprints are as packed as you will see all season, so many leadouts here with fast roads and easy stages

But also unrealistic for any other race because of that.

He's fast in those super flat races and he's good at finding the right wheel.

But who do they take to the Giro?

 

[Samamba]

But who do they take to the Giro?

Dainese (and Mayrhoffer).

Apparently merlier hasn’t been partying with aliphilippe’s wife

 

[Devil's Elbow]

But who do they take to the Giro?

Dainese is on the provisional startlist. So unless they want to take both, De Kleijn is going to reach 31 without doing a GT... yes, he's a late bloomer, but still.

Although tbh, Tudor are good enough that I'd have been happy to see them in two GTs. [insert my monthly rant about Spanish PCTs here]

 

[Brullnux]

It's a trend. I went to a bar and there was a group of 25-30 year olds, a bit hipster, but all of them had it.

Especially among Aussies, it's the mullet + moustache combo.

So that's where MvdP picked up his mullet. Waiting in the Wollongong jail.

He has enough (work) with Frank Vandenbroucke's daughter.

 

[Rob5091]

Kooij seemed to go too early but impressive speed by Merlier. Same again tomorrow?
Mark Stewart seems to be the happiest guy in the race - enjoying his 15 minutes of fame.

 

[shadowrider]

And another one, number 10, for Soudal-Quickstep.

 

[Anderis]

3 riders with Polish sounding names in top10.

 

[Squire]

3 riders with Polish sounding names in top10.

Who's the third?

 

[Anderis]

Who's the third?

I'm guessing Aniołkowski and Mareczko are the two that you are aware of.

Kogut means a rooster in Polish and I've just read that Oded Kogut is a descendant of Polish Jews.

 

[Landeirovic]

And another one, number 10, for Soudal-Quickstep.

number 9

 

[Berniece]

number 9

He probably counts GC wins too, or the TTT in Rwanda

 

[Berflamand]

He probably counts GC wins too

Then it's still 9. I think he counts the Rwanda win by Lecerf but that doesn't count since it was for the devo team.

 

[RedheadDane]

He probably counts GC wins too, or the TTT in Rwanda

Or Lecerf's win. He's a WT rider, even though he's riding Rwanda for the devo team.
