UAE Tour 2024, February 19-25

[DNP-Old]

This Arabic commentator is quickly reaching RTP levels of mythical.

 

[Samamba]

Now the roundabout. Let's see if the wind is enough.

 

[tobydawq]

Well, we’ve survived threes days of sprint processions

Did you expect to die?

 

[DNP-Old]

It's happening

 

[DNP-Old]

Echelon alert.

 

[tobydawq]

Perpendicular means it crosses in a 90 degree angle. So normally you want cross/tailwind to create echelons and I think this time it's perhaps too much cross and too little tailwind.

You can definitely also make splits when it's perpendicular to the road.

 

[Samamba]

It happened, only a few teams in front group.

The Belgians are dropped I think.

EDIT: Van Wilder made it, Van Eetvelt didnt. Also Bilbao in 2nd group I think?

It’s not easy to endure that many hours of Kirby with no real race action

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

It happened, only a few teams in front group.

The Belgians are dropped I think.

Think i saw IVW at the back.

 

[Samamba]

Think i saw IVW at the back.

Van Wilder is in first I saw now.

 

[Samamba]

2nd group isn't even working

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Wilder is in first I saw now.

Yeah i meant back of 1st peloton, tbc.

 

[Samamba]

Think main guys missing are Bilbao and Van Eetvelt? Carr too I think?

Haven't seen Foss yet, not sure

 

[Netserk]

Getting back again.

 

[Samamba]

Not sure why only Bahrain is riding. Ineos? Lotto? Tudor? Movistar?

Getting back again.

Gap is getting bigger again cause only Bahrain riding.

EDIT: ok now some other teams helping.

 

[Netserk]

Tudor pulled with two men a moment ago.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah but 2nd group is cracking a bit, no one is following.

IT's only like 10sec between back of 1st group and front of 2nd tho. And in like 8km i think the wind will be a bit more on in front for 10ish km.

 

[Samamba]

Gap slightly bigger again.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

At long last, something is happening in UAE Tour and the broadcast isn't live yet

Live on youtube for hours.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bora has been pulling like mad men. Do they have a potential winner i'm not aware of here?

 

[Samamba]

Bora has been pulling like mad men. Do they have a potential winner i'm not aware of here?

Yeah Absolutely no idea lmao.

I guess they think Zwiehof can top 10 if 2nd group is further behind, but it's a bit weird that they're the team that pushes the most.

Gap getting smaller again now.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bora has been pulling like mad men. Do they have a potential winner i'm not aware of here?

What‘s the option, tell Ben Zwiehoff he‘s not getting anywhere, have all helpers abandon before the last stage or pack the Grupetto?

 

[Samamba]

Close to coming back now, also more head than crosswing now for a bit I think.

They are closing the gap. Bilbao could've been burried here.
