Artic Race of Norway

[Vetplant]

 

MvdP is going to be a headache for a couple of teams over the next 4 days. Can he win a Stage... or three... Only stage 3 is classified as a Mountain stage.

 

They are going into an underwater tunnel I presume on Stage 1 at 50odd kms from the start...

ASO is trying to reduce footprint of their races. All 46 cars of the #ArticRace organisation will be EV’s, with goal to make team cars electric within 3 years. Tour de France is one of the most environmentally damaging sport events around the globe.

In my old job we referred to big multi carriage trucks as 'Artics'... When I saw this title I thought they were now racing articulated vehicles in Norway!

Can someone please advise how to correct the title of a thread? Can't find the "Edit" option.

Isn't there an option at the top to edit the title as the OP?

 

I honestly don't think you should stress about it, I think we all actually know what's going on in Norway...... But Friday dictates someone be insolent on an otherwise innocuous thread!

Victory percentage of Mathieu van der Poel

@mathieuvdpoel

, a.k.a. The Cycling Cannibal Chameleon, in 2019 (in official races on UCI-calendar):

Cyclocross 12/12 = 100%

Mountainbike 14/16 = 87,5%

Road 7/16 (after stage victory in stage 1 #ArticRace) = 43,7%

Total 33/44 = 75%!!

MvdP playing the mental game?

"Yesterday was hard, but I still have more to give"

Nah I don't think so. 

 

You only play the mental game as a "marginal gain" effort.  To intimidate your rivals to get that final 0.1% edge.

 

Seeing hime ride Nino off his wheel with ease the past 2 weekends let me believe he's being naively honest

Wow... MvdP... who needs a lead out when you can drop power like that!

Enjoy watching this race, beautiful scenery.. but it looks tough - cold and exposed on the road.
