Pure Savage Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Yesterday was a stunner of a stage! Had me glued to the stream!
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I really grinds my gears if people post races in the wrong categories. Hehehe
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I need to check the trek PN lineup..cause if Bert has any chance of making up time he is going to need some strong riders and I don't think they have any there that can do much in the crosswinds .. all focusing on the classics. He's so far downIt's gonna be a GC race for those that came seconds in after DeMare 'em
Gen Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 He's so far downIt's gonna be a GC race for those that came seconds in after DeMare 'emYip over a minute... He would need a lot of lady luck on his side and hope he is in the front part of split next time..also will have to ride the TT of his life later on in the week.
Cav' Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 I agree the win is out of Berto's reach, but watch him try!
Paul Ruinaard Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I know it's OT but the end of both the Strada and the Paris Nice was on Supersport. The end of the Strada was awesome. I am booking my tickets to go to Tuscany - what an awesome ride that must be to do as a casual ride through the countryside. Hard man that Kwiatowski. Those gradients at the end were brutal - in to Siena - 18% on wet cobbles.

'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Day 2 of Paris-Nice and it's a damp day out there for the riders. The riders have just passed through kilometre zero and the racing is on.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Five kilometres in and the bunch is all together at the moment. There are five riders missing from the peloton today. Michael Schar (BMC), Matteo Bono (UAD) and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) were all DNFs yesterday, with Schar breaking his collarbone and iliac bone. Romain Bardet was disqualified by the race jury while Jonathan Hivert missed the time cut.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 ???????????? A crash has taken down Tony Martin and Borut Bozic but the pair are back on their way. Meanwhile, nine riders have jumped off the front with Romain Hardy leading the escapees over the first climb the Cote des Granges-le-Roi.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 ☃️☃️☃️ 15 seconds separate the nine riders from the chasing peloton as snow begins to fall on the pack!
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 The gap to the escapees is growing and stands around 30 seconds. As the peloton chases, it has split into two parts. The nine up front are: Romain Hardy (Fortuneo Vital Concept), Julien Simon (Cofidis), Sam Oomen (Sunweb), Kristijan Koren (Cannondale), Oliver Naesen (Ag2R), Marc Soler (Movistar), Manuele Mori (UAE), Natnael Berhane (Dimension Data) and Delio Fernandez (Delko-Marseille).
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Pierre Rolland isn't enjoying these conditions and he's been dropped right to the back of the peloton. The weather is going to be another big factor today.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 After 28 kilometres its gruppo compatto. The peloton wasn't going to let that one go too easily, especially with the conditions out there.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Multiple echelons are formed on the narrow roads ????
