I agree that Remco will go stage hunting eventually. But today? I'd assume whatever hampered him yesterday will do so today, as well. Maybe take it slow for a day, recover, lose a bit more time to have a solid breakaway ticket in stages to come?
Remco Evenepoel is the winner of World Championships ME - ITT 2023, before Filippo Ganna and Joshua Tarling.
Is Rempo Evekoel door het ijs gezaak? Ganna back on form, Tarling stellar debut.
Still not confirmed, but Girmay withdrew: https://intermarche-circus-wanty.eu/news/biniam-girmay-worlds/
GCN understands four out of Eritrea’s seven riders have currently been denied entry to the UK
Biniam Girmay and four of his fellow Eritreans denied visas to the UK.
Edit: Unconfirmed as of yet. All other sources quote GCN. But if it's true, WTF...
Which transfer rumours will turn out true?
Cort to Uno-X came as a surprise to me.
What about the rumours that are about?
- Politt to UAE
- Evenepoel leaving Quickstep (possibly to INEOS)
- Landa to Quickstep
- Alaphilippe leaving Quickstep (possibly to Total Energies)
- Rodriguez to Movistar
Which of them will turn out true? What others have you heard?
It'll be interesting to see if Philipsen manages to sprint in a straight line, this time. IMHO, the jury only let it slide in Bordeaux because it would have made Cav's record by jury decision. Nobody wanted that. But I do think they will err on the stricter side, from now on, as far as he and MVDP is concerned.
Turned out to be an exciting stage in the end. Both the repeated attempts of Alaphilippe et. al. to close the gap to the front were entertaining, as well as the final. Sad for Zimmermann, though. He really deserves to take a stage one day...
