2025 Races with Spoilers.

[M.R.M]

Arnaud de Lie to miss MSR, but attend GP Denain. Truly a poor man's Andre Greipel. 😉

Some sort of good news...hope he pulls out and rests to be honest, didn't look the best at the end of the stage today.
Statement from Visma
Jonas Vingegaard has sustained a contusion of the hand after a crash in Paris-Nice. Our medical staff will decide tomorrow if he is fit enough to continue the race.

Bugger. There's always an issue that tends to spoil a proper, fair gunfight in the Tour.
That's cycling I guess but fingers crossed Pig, Vingo, Rog and Remco are in decent shape in July

Vingegaard out of P-N with a hand injury

Heal fast champ 🤞
Unfortunately, Jonas Vingegaard will not start in today’s stage of Paris-Nice. Our medical staff has decided that it is best for him to recover from yesterday’s crash at home and focus on his next goals for the season.

After his strop and lack of any signs of hapiness on the podium on Wednesday, I suspected that his heart wasn't really in it. Whether that contributed to his crash, we will never know, but difficult to carry on when you are grumpy and have a hand injury.

 

[Lanterne Rogue]

Off-topic, but does anybody else think "contusion" sounds like one of those old-timey diseases that only Victorian heroines die from, possibly whilst fainting dramatically at everybody?

I think that was more because he took the lead off a teammate when he believed that they should have stopped racing. Not all the riders had a heated car seat to wait in like he did.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Absolutely chaos in Paris-Nice.
A mostly Jumbo led group of 9 have just been caught by an Ineos led group.
These 15 riders look to have about 40 seconds.

Eddie Dunbar crashes out of Tirreno.

P-N gap now out to 1:20 with 20km to go

 

[roadrash]

Martinez’s group is well adrift, nearly four minutes behind the peloton, and 6-15 down on the lead group.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Tarling made Pedersen fight for that!

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Yeah, but who's beating Mads P for a small bunch sprint in the cold and rain?

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Meanwhile in Tirreno, Ganna suffers a mechanical inside the final km.
Some confusion as to whether he gets the ST or loses the leader’s jersey.
