Il était sur le podium de la 1ere #mercantourclassic il y a 2 ans (avec des conditions climatiques similaires 😁), quelle joie de voir @BrunoArmirail endosser ce beau maillot! 🤩 Bravo au coureur de la @GroupamaFDJ #lesRP #Giro2023
Profile. Following the Giro d'Italia, cycling fans will get their dose of mountain racing on the 30th of May with the Mercan'Tour Classic which takes place high in the Alpes Maritimes.
The race is short with only 167.5 kilometers on the menu however it will be quite a hard one. The first half of the Alpie race will be mostly flat, the second half anything but that. The riders tackle the Col de la Colmiane via a non-traditional side (7.6Km; 6.9%), the Col de la Couillole (15.9Km; 7.3) and finally a summit finish atop Valberg which features 7.2 kilometers at 7.3%. 4700 meters of climbing in a day where the purists will have an unusual opportunity to win a one-day race.

- 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
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- 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
