Lidl Trek ! Didn't really see that coming !
46 seconds on second place Jayco...Vacek in yellow at least it makes for a better race.
Tough stage tomorrow with a mountaintop finish 😁

Exactly... A great win that nobody really saw coming.Im not sure they'll be that bothered tomorrow as job done,not taking anything away from Vacek but I don't see him as a GC contender, chapeau on your first leaders jersey though 😁
Makes for a better race behind....I'm hoping Vlasov,C Rod,Ben O and co can give UAE a battle.

No Almeida, he's going in the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana but I will be watching both.

Almeida over Ganna! Wow! 🤣

 

[tarric]

She chose him when we watched the Volta ao Algarve live in 2020 and then after his exploits in the Giro that year and he has been her favorite ever since.

Does anyone know ...

which current pro tries to avoid flying to races? I heard it mentioned by Daniel Friebe on TCP, but couldn't easily rewind. He was talking about Marc Hirschi moments before, but google doesn't seem to mention this about him ...

It was Marc Hirschi . Not actually afraid of flying apparently. Maybe eco reasons?

Thanks!
(I've just tried google again, and nothing comes up - I guess it's something he doesn't shout about much, so it hasn't been in many interviews? Or Friebe made it up But I do hope it's true - we need a new hero. Ganna isn't for everyone! )

Probably didn't pay for his seat on Ryanair and got the middle one !
I speak from experience....

 

[Adam4868]

Bahrain Victorious with a one two ! Buitrago and Pelli Bilbao chapeau...third place for Almeida.
Cracking ride by race leader Vacek who keeps his leaders jersey...hung on with some top climbers there to limit his losses 😁

 

[tarric]

A good win for Buitrago and chapeau to Vacek holding on to yellow.

Paris-Roubaix. The chicane entry to the Arenberg Trench has been replaced by a couple of S bends. I hope everyone makes the turns into Avenue d'Arenberg and Rue de Croy OK! Image from ASO:

A good win for Buitrago and chapeau to Vacek holding on to yellow.

Indeed , he came from nowhere to jump his team mate Bilbao. Have been watching this on RTVE/VPN, given the new TNT takeover seems like this is the future of watching cycling in the UK.
Great win from young 21yr old Ivan Romeo today on Stage 3 of the Valencian race.
