Jai Hindley and Aleksandr Vlasov set to lead BORA-hansgrohe at the Tour de Romandie

With the Spring Classics now over for another season, the peloton is now turning its attention to the first Grand Tour of the season at the Giro d’Italia. However, there is still one more preparation race ahead of the Italian race, as the Tour de Romandie is taking place this week in Switzerland.
Despite having won the race two years ago, Jai Hindley will not be riding this year’s Giro d’Italia, but he will be racing at the Tour de Romandie, as he continues to prepare for the Tour de France this summer. He will lead BORA-hansgrohe alongside Aleksandr Vlasov, who won the Swiss stage race in 2022.
Hindley has already impressed with strong general classification results this season, as he finished third overall at Tirreno-Adriatico. Vlasov has also been having a solid season thus far, as he finished in fifth place at Paris-Nice and in fourth place at the Volta a Catalunya.
They will be supported by Sergio Higuita, who won the queen stage of that 2022 edition of the race, as well as Anton Palzer, Florian Lipowitz, Roger Adrià and Patrick Gamper. It is certainly a strong climbing team and with two mountaintop finishes on the route, they will be useful domestiques in helping Hindley and Vlasov to stay in good position on the climbs.

But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024

- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is poisonous and flammable. It is produced when carbon-containing fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood are not completely burned. CO is a common hazard in the home and the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States.awp13-11-2024
- Eddy also rode a 23 lb bike whereas Tadej has a 15 lb one. Also new insights into training and selecting races rather than racing 11.5 months a year like Eddy used to do.MrCampy13-11-2024
