On every uphill sprint? You are definitely right that both this finish and that one where he was on the hoods in Paris Nice were uphill.He does it on uphill sprints.
I remember him saying in an interview last year that he gets more power on the hoods.On every uphill sprint? You are definitely right that both this finish and that one where he was on the hoods in Paris Nice were uphill.
I wonder what his reasoning is. Obviously aero position is less important in a slower sprint, but it still matters. Does he get more power out? It’s the kind of thing I wish interviewers asked about more often.
Yeah, one of his former team mates (paul vos I think) explained that he does it on uphill sprints because he can generate more power that way.On every uphill sprint? You are definitely right that both this finish and that one where he was on the hoods in Paris Nice were uphill.

Rui Costa? Amaro Antunes? Joni Brandao too.Are any of the locals likely to do anything tomorrow? Is it just likely to be Sosa v Kamna?
Asgreen lost 39s and said his form is not great but there is a chance it could be like Valenciana if the climbers don't go hard today.If the climbers in this race are not on their best form, a guy like Asgreen (depending on his shape ofc) might actually defend himself very well. He was 6th on mt. Baldy in 2019 beaten only by good climbers, which is a tougher climb than anything they will find here.
expectations may vary with the strength of the competition.Why are Ineos pulling? Do they expect Sosa to win on those gradients? If it was Malhão I could understand them, but not on this kind of climb.

That's a fair point, Hayter can climb a bit.Hayter?
No man, you've got it wrong...That's a fair point, Hayter can climb a bit.
