Juan Sebastian Molano triumphs on rapid stage 2 at Cro Race 2024
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates' Juan Sebastian Molano has taken the sprint victory on stage 2 of the 2024 Cro Race after a frantic and relentlessly high paced day in Croatia.
Given the infernal pace of the race, heading into the final 50km, the peloton had control at the front, and repeated attacks were being neutralised. Two riders did eventually get clear and form a break, but they were never given much leeway and as such, they didn't last all that long.
As such, a bunch sprint was, for the second day in a row, the way the day was to be decided. Given the relentless high pace over the course of the stage though, who still had fresh legs wasn't completely sure. In the end, despite a late attack from INEOS Grenadiers' Kim Heiduk, it was UAE Team Emirates' Juan Sebastian Molano that powered to victory ahead of Giovanni Lonardi.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
