And Jasper Philipsen wins Nokere

Is this a unisex thread is there a separate thread for the women?

Anyway, I see Lotte Kopecky won the womens Nokere Koerse. Which is nice as she hasn't won anything that I can remember for quite a while. Not that it's a massive win, but it's something. And she beat Charlotte Kool, who's no slouch.

Just had a look at Catalunya startlist and stages, looks like it will be a good week for us armchair viewers. If it's not affected by snow that is, there going high for this time of year..

Just had a look at Flight Radar. Lots of long delays yesterday from Tenerife South, but eventually all flights got away. Delays to mainland Spain were not so bad. Today, things look to be back to normal.

This looks a bit stupid and patronising after today's performance in San Remo.

Typical of these times, isn't it. They close down Bike Radar forum, but Flight Radar still going strong. Big Air have all the politicians in their pocket....

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya has quite a tasty lineup, starting today. Vingegaard, Remco, Almeida, Vine, Lipowitz, Onley, Skjelmose, Gee, O'Connor, Pidcock, Gall, Rodriguez, L. Martinez, Uijtdebroeks, Hindley.....

Should give us a far better picture of Vingegaard's level than Paris-Nice

Tiz will probably have RAI’s usual 50 minute highlight package, later.

Carys Lloyd has her first WorldTour win: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/articles/c4g8w2kk59go She was part of son no. 2's team a few years ago.

That was really wierd.

Benjamin Noval made his seasons debut today at the E3 juniors race. He placed 30th out of the lead 57 man group, so presumably didnt fancy the big sprint finish.
All's good for the 17 yr old he has his 2027 Ineos contract to look forward to.

 

[TomDW]

That was really wierd.

I agree, given the stacked field it seemed like the sprint was over in a flash, Lorena Wiebes was there too. Brilliant for Carys though, only 19 !
