It’s not the best race as it is reduced always the last climb’s sprint.
Just to say a name, I believe that Hirschi could win, he has won the race in the past and knowing the tempo of the climb is definitely important. And he was very strong on the climbs last Sunday.
Of course pidock is strong too, Teuns won too, but I don’t see him so strong.
Let’s see.
I actually prefer a sprint in the end to all these 60K solo victories :D
I think - hope - Skjelmose will win.
It’s not that I don’t like sprints It’s just races like this that have no interest except that last climb.
The last solo victories we’ve seen this year are not better either, I want to see a bit of competition and alternatives. Last stage of the Itzulia was nice.
Watching it now, I don’t know what happened, maybe the weather, but UAE and INEOS are completely out.
We’ll know the outcome in a few minutes.
Terrible cold weather and hailstorms. All the light riders out with hypothermia symptoms.
