The opening day of action at CRO Race saw the sprinters come to the fore as the fought it out in the town of Sinj, with Team dsm-firmenich setting up finisher Tobias Lund Andresen who sprinted to second place.
It was a steady start to proceedings in Croatia with a five rider move able to form out front relatively easy early on into the stage. The peloton always had the breakaway under control and slowly whittled down the advantage throughout the remainder of the day, making the catch at 20 kilometres to go. After some strong teamwork, the young Dane was in a great position for the sprint.
"Today was a long stage on big, good roads and with a headwind," explained Lund Andresen. "There were a couple of long climbs but the bunch took it easy. Everyone was fully committed to go for me today in the finish and the motivation was clearly high. There were some crashes in the final, but we managed to stay together and the guys delivered me perfectly. I didn’t have the legs to go around Viviani in the end, but also nice with another second place to add the collection."

- 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
