UAE Tour 2025, February 17-23

[Lequack]

Which of the sprinters favor a hard stage?

 

[Samamba]

So Ciccone isn't actually there. Don't see why Trek should be riding like that then. Milan can win out of a full peloton too, his main rivals are there too anyways.

Peloton is coming back. Great for entertainment, but just a waste of energy for the sprinters in front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Front group about to have a realisation

 

[Lequack]

If they come together, what then? Will the just ride together for 50k?

Im pretty sure it's sort of a headwind the last 30kms so echelons would never stick anyways.

Tarozzi I love it, proper Bardiani sh*t stirring

More like Bardiani failing to help Tarozzi

Vini Fantini > Bardiani

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ian Tarozzi attacks, going nowhere there

 

[pastronef]

I'm at work and every time I watch there's Fantini and Bardiani messing with each other, wtf

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lorenzo Quartucci, the Italian Charlie Quarterman

 

[Tim Cahill]

Huge split now, think this might have a better chance

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lenny/Bilbao missed it I think, along with the Movistar guys

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ivan Romeo almost bridges the gap to a bunch of big WT teams himself, incredible talent but he's about to get stuck inbetween I think.

 

[Netserk]

I thought water was sacred in the desert.

 

[Berniece]

Timing isn't really correct. It's more around 20s

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Froomey in the Front group!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lol, Kirby has not realised McLay rides for Visma now and apparently also thinks Arkéa is riding the race.

 

[Netserk]

Coming back together. Sprint train starts too late for the front group.

 

[Lequack]

Froomey in the Front group!

Not anymore.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Philipsen might make it back but he's ****ed, wrong position and no train

 

[Brullnux]

Why did Lidl-Trek not commit more?

 

[Lequack]

For a sprint stage this was pretty exciting today.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Not anymore.

Sob!

 

[Netserk]

Bjerg still pushing like it's 5 % and 6 lanes wide.

 

[pastronef]

Bjerg is training. he's giving his all in race conditions to be prepared for later in the season
