UAE Tour 2024, February 19-25

[Berniece]

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

Does the UCI count it as points for their ranking? If so, I would cound it as a win.

yeah, they do. Lecerf's points in Rwanda go to the WT team.

You can do all you want but it simply isn't a win for the WT team. The rules are clear.

UCI points go to the rider and the WT team, wins go to the devo team.

I don't really care at all. If those are the rules, then OK. I was just thinking why shadowrider counted it as number 10.

 

[Samamba]

Tomorrow basically the last day with a lot of open roads, so probably last chance at echelon action, but it looks like the wind won't be hard enough.

 

[KZD]

Merlier is showing a huge speed, if he continues like this he should be selected for the Tour. I also liked De Kleijn today, very fast too.

 

[Lequack]

Remco won't select Merlier for the Tour, no matter how good he is.

Wow, an actual spectator.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Imagine trying and failing to get into the break in a flat stage in the UAE Tour.

 

[Samamba]

How bad must this race be for someones form when someone who probably will top 10 GC goes into an early break on a flat stage.

FTFY

He probably thinks there are free boni seconds up for grabs.

Yeah definitely, but any other race someone like that would obviously not "waste" the energy. But here it is probably good for the legs to feel some pain.

And knowing him. He's probably incredibly bored.

 

[Salvarani]

This seem dumb for LVE to do.

 

[Lexman]

what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?

boni seconds at least

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

De Kleijn is going to reach 31 without doing a GT

That's nothing. I've reached 60 without doing a single race...

 

[repre]

what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?

He thinks UAE tour is boring. He is just one of us

 

[shadowrider]

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

Merlier 4
Evenepoel 3
Magnier 2
Lecerf 1
10 victorys

My math is ok

 

[Rob5091]

what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?

LVE to take over De Gendt's role as "King of the Breakaway"? Get in a solid training ride?

 

[shadowrider]

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.

Wrong, Rwanda is a UCI-race. Since when are Latour (Total Energies), winner of a stage, Froome etc members of a devo team. Israel Premier Tech, Total Energies, Bingoal, Groupama...
Proteams, continental teams, national teams in one race.

 

[Samamba]

what's the use for LVE to be in the attack?

Being bored, training and ofcourse boni's. If he get's the next one he's in front of Valter for example, which could be useful. Doubt he'll feel this effort on Sunday.
