PREVIEW | Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var 2023 Stage 1 - Puncheurs and sprinters to rule explosive day 1
Cycling
Throughout the 17th to 19th of February the French peloton will take on the Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var, based on the southeastern tip of France and based around the region of Nice, a race full of climbing tests. Stage 1 will be an interesting day for the classics riders, puncheurs and sprinters who can survive the climbs.
Stage 1 will be an interesting first test. It is a stage that features several ascents throughout the day, and they intensify over the final kilometers. There will be four ascents inside the final 25 kilometers, three of them inside the final 12 kilometers.
They will have 2.4Km at 2.9% (11Km to go), 1.2Km at 4% (5Km to go) and the hilltop finale into Ramatuelle will be 1.2 kilometers long at 4% which will favour those with explosive power but the capacity to ride longer efforts.
Prediction Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var 2023 stage 1:
*** Bryan Coquard, Julien Simon
** Quentin Pacher, Andrea Piccolo, Mathieu Burgaudeau
* Kévin Vauquelin, Thibaut Pinot, Kevin Geniets, Victor Lafay, Mattias Skjelmose, Aurélien Paret-Peintre, Neilson Powless, Romain Bardet, Matteo Moschetti
Pick: Bryan Coquard

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
