PREVIEW | Gran Camiño 2023 stage 2 - Jonas Vingegaard main favourite as riders take on roman road finale
Cycling
Preview. After a snowstorm cancelled stage 1, Gran Camino will have a fresh start on stage 2 where the climbers will have an opportunity to put on a show in the summit finish.
Stage 2 will take place mostly close to the Atlantic, heading south. The finish will be at the very southwestern tip of Galicia - and the northwestern tip of Portugal. After a 2.8-kilometer climb at 6.6% the riders head towards Monte Trega for a summit finish. The climb is 3.9 kilometers at 7.1%, with the final climb seeing the riders detour into an ancient cobbled section before the panoramic view at the top.

- Yes, you did say that but what is the point of stating the obvious when obviously a lighter rider won’t be able to avoid reality which is that above a certain speed rolling resistance becomes insignificant compared to wind resistance, so it pragmatically all things being kept equal is irrelevant for them in their task. Momentum is what you’re left with after overcoming resistances, and that’s what going to help you keep up your speed except on a longer hill where weight will slow you faster.Mistermaumau13-04-2025
- Yes ok, but then what were the exact details then, did he cross the line, did his team not ask the stewards committee if they thought it was an exceptional case? He got the time but not the ranking, not even the last ranking, which suggests it was looked at and decided but explain why you feel it wasn’t right? There are only two cases it doesn’t apply, team time trials and summit finishes, so flat or not makes no difference.Mistermaumau13-04-2025
- Rolling resistance goes up with weight. Also, I did specify "all else held equal".acem8213-04-2025
- Even light rain is tricky as it has been dry since ages and the normal roads will be covered in smeary dust that won’t get washed off fast enough. Not sure how many of the cobbled sections are open to heavy traffic during the year so that’s a different problem.Mistermaumau13-04-2025
- Kopecky thought she could ride everyone off her wheel with her attacks! Guess Vos proved her otherwise! SD Worx has some internal team issues again !frieders313-04-2025
- When did the UCI stop checking the shift lever angles? Kopecly's were so far turned in it surely would have violated the UCI rules if they were enforcing it.frieders313-04-2025
- Martin would not have climbed a few places in the GC. every point counts in the relegation battle.heinz12-04-2025

- The stories of Tadej were from his local races against older kids, not the same as international level, but as Maria says, at that level a 2 year difference as a teen is enormous, if then you go further and compare a slow and quick developer you’re stretching the physical maturity difference to 3 maybe 4 years.Mistermaumau12-04-2025
