PREVIEW | Saudi Tour 2023 stage 2 - Dylan Groenewegen looks to net second sprint win on flat finish
CyclingTuesday, 31 January 2023 at 12:07
Throughout five days the peloton will race in Saudi Arabia, for the Saudi Tour. The opening stage saw a bunch sprint where Team Jayco AlUla's Dylan Groenewegen took the win, and stage 2 should have a similar outcome on flat roads.
Stage two has a slightly hillier start with some bonus seconds available at the top of an early hilltop. Most of the stage however is pan-flat, with the Shalal Siljyat Rocks spot set to host the finale in what should be a bunch sprint. The fast men are unlikely to be challenged on this day, however the weather and road conditions can certainly cause a lot of built-up fatigue towards the finale.
Stage 2: Winter Park - Shalal Sjilyat Rocks, 184 kilometers
Prediction Time
*** Dylan Groenewegen
** Max Kanter, Dusan Rajovic
* Max Walscheid, Pascal Ackermann, Jonathan Milan

- 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
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- 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
