The Classics

Right. I want those Arabic speaking commentators that they have for the UAE race. Even though I don’t understand a thing they make the entire flat stage sound interesting.

And Vos wins the ladies race for Visma

Women's Elite, OHN

36; Debutant at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad; a tactical master class between 4.0 and 3.0 kms to go, sapping the rainbow jersey’s sprint and playing the numbers game so well with Lidl-Trek.

The Boss is back, remarkable, after overcoming another injury setback.

One day when I am big I want a 30 second peak power output like Marianne Vos.

What a beautiful race.

I have new respect for the pros racing in these conditions. With wind chill the temp was around 3 degrees C for the whole race. Not very pleasant at all.

The BumbleBees dominate the opening weekend. UAE really showing up well; best I’ve seen from the team in white kit so early in the Euro spring.

Next week: The sterrato of the white roads! Yum nom nom. 😈

What a finish….✅ great start to the season in very chilly conditions. Amazing to hold a 16 second gap for like 5kms to go… that was a two man TT. 
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can't understand the Sporza commentary, but that does mean no Rob Hatch and Carlton Kirby... I think I'll consider it 'learning another language'...

Nope. Massive let down on their side.

 

They are starting with Paris Nice tomorrow though.

Watching the ladies on Tiz-Cycling .... Pretty good, no jumping through hoops with VPN's and other currency credit cards etc. 😜
