  The race isnt going to be won by seconds . First get your leader and your team intact to the mountains will minimal energy loss.

  The boys on the Nero Show (YouTube channel) also discussed this topic in detail. It seems Milan changed his bike setup for this season to try to improve even more, but it has possibly affected his sprint negatively based on his results this year. The Nero Show compared the power data and apparently Milan was putting out a couple hundred watts more than Magnier but still lost that sprint. They thought perhaps Milan was wasting those watts because he was all over the place during his sprint, which may have been due to his bike setup (I think they said Milan's new setup was a smaller bike frame and wider handlebars?).

  That Giro crash was unavoidable as was the kangaroo crash in the Tour Down Under. Nothing to do with being a Zwift rider!

  As usual Ineos making tactical blunders.

  Doesn't Jay Vine come from Zwift racing. Maybe he lacks some bike handling skills compared to riders who grew up doing junior cyclocross

  Article should include where favorites are in the leader board like Jonas

  Brilliant stage! Great for UAE to get that confidence booster though I'd have liked to see Aular win. I also didn't expect Egan to get gapped like that. And as for Giulio Ciccone in the Maglia Rosa, well, my question is why he didn't say that he's not going for GC in previous years? Imagine if he wins

  it's strange to see Egan to drop so fast.

  Nah, in terms of luck, the crash at Itzulia Basque Country 2024 had a much bigger impact on the whole season and helped Pogacar immensely. Jonas Vingegaard, Primož Roglič, and Remco Evenepoel all out in one crash. (Also, Pogacar's teammate Jay Vine almost became paraplegic that day. Seriously, Jay must be the unluckiest pro cyclist in history... Nothing he could've done in either crash.)

  Right now, with Almeida's ongoing health struggles, surprisingly, it looks like the 'mini-Vingegaard' Nordhagen is the strongest climber on the startlist. That is when you assume that the big hitters [Pogacar, Lipowitz, Ayuso, Seixas, del Toro] from the Tour [which will be a very hard edition, as I believe that the duoplay will end soon] don't go to the Vuelta. Perhaps Nordhagen's climbing ability is similar to Felix Gall's, but his TTing is much better. And then you have that other Slovenian fella who I don't believe in.
