40 seconds with 4k, that should be enough for Politt / Cousin if they don't fuck around. Which is a big if.

Superb. He's (still) not got any pro wins to his name, but has consistently performed well in ITTs the last couple of years. Perhaps he's going to be the next Thomas De Gendt.
The three breakaway riders in T-A have two race wins in total, both for Mosca, and those being a stage of the second-tier Tour of Hainan last November, plus the overall GC win. Though it's probably academic today.

I wish whoever at UCI came up with the system for denoting road race types and levels had used a bit of common sense. Whenever I see 2.1 it takes a little while to remember whether this means a fourth level one-day race, or a stage race at the third level (it's the latter) and it's easy to get muddled up with 1.2.
"I know, for one-day races, how about we use a number 1?"
"Yep, with you there."
Then a letter for stage races would have made life somewhat easier. E for étape/etapas/etappen would have worked a treat. So we'd be looking at a couple of E.WT races this week, for example.Last edited by Kevin S; 09-03-2018, 13:30. Reason: (got that first bit a bit messed up there to start with... see what I mean?)

Impressive from Roglic, though he did get his initial advantage via a massive tow from the camera bike. Was watching a French stream where the commentators were endlessly analysing Bardet's position and performance. You get how so many good French riders succumb to the pressure.
