Conor Swift has a decent result elsewhere last week. Besseges perhaps?

Think he has a top 10 place on one of the stages...Maybe the one Coquard won ?
Seventh/Eigth overall if I remember right.

Time to dust off your Wanty shirt @Dogtrousers ...
Jan Hirt takes the overall win at Oman with Masnada and Rui Costa in second and third place.

I watched it live and it was a strangely muted climb. You'd have expected Hayter and Martinez to be better but maybe they're building for future races.
I did that climb on holiday a few years back - I think my Strava KOM may have gone now...

Super opportunist win by Magnus Sheffield in thge Ruta del Sol today. Took advantage of a snarl up on a corner and rode away to hold on.
He's only 19

Jakobsen wins the third stage of Volta Algarve...easily beat Coquard and Merlier from a fair way out.I thought he'd gone too early,but what do I know !
Its only February and he's got 4 wins under his belt.

Time trial coverage in Algarve today was absolutely atrocious.

Roads I ride a lot and would like to have seen more than the first mile and final 300 yards.

The steep climb halfway through barely got a camera lens on it!

I guess after today that will be another 140 riders above me on the segments 😀

Edit. Just checked out the hill on Strava, my PB 8.44, Remco Evenepoel did it yesterday in 3.20!!!
