By @EchelonsHub The GC fight was put onto secondary display today as the breakaway succeeded. With the queen stage tomorrow, it was expected that racing would be relatively calmer today, the stage winner came from the breakaway who took off on the early hills. Warren Barguil was the strongest of the group, attacking on the final…

By @EchelonsHub The first day in the hills at TIrreno-Adriatico proved to be quite an active one. On all three laps of the final circuit in Bellante attacks flew off the peloton, with Pogacar, Evenepoel and Ganna active between the attacks in the early laps. All came down to the final climb though where just as…

By @EchelonsHub It was a day for the breakaway as expected and our pick Brandon McNulty also performed as expected. It was an easy win, after getting himself in the escapee group early in the day, Jumbo-Visma let the group go, and McNulty attacked at the base of the Col de la Mure to get a…

An attack by Pogacar over the intermediate sprint caused some riders like Alaphilippe, Soler and Hart to move across and put the peloton under stress. Everything came back together though and the bunch sprint became a reality, with…

By @EchelonsHub The opening road stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico was one for the sprinters as expected, although the hilly profile ner the end saw some attacks flying off, with Marc Soler trying to surprise, getting a healthy gap that was only brought back with 3 kilometers to go. A very narrow and twisty finish took place,…

By @EchelonsHub It was not an easy day at Paris-Nice today, although the wind gave truce to the peloton, the final hilly section proved too difficult for some sprinters as it was a slightly reduced peloton heading towards the non-technical, slightly uphill finale. Race leader Christophe Laporte crashed at the end, but remained in yellow, but…

By @EchelonsHub As expected Filippo Ganna took responsibility of the initial time-trial at Tirreno-Adriatico and won the opening stage. With a pan-flat straightforward course it would be hard to beat him, he took 11 seconds on Evenepoel and 18 on Pogacar who completed the podium.
