Perfect timing from the alpecin team, just in front at the right time.

Same it's not recognizable enough, prefer the bright green.

I won't be able to watch much of it today, but I'm thinking Philipsen will take this one. Interested to see how Cav will preform.

A great opening weekend and looking forward now to the sprinter stages, as I don't have as much time to watch cause of work and all that. I can just catch the last bit and not get fomo.

I guess he just did

Wondering if Laffay will follow up with another good day as he was the biggest surprise for me yesterday.

Definitely one of the better opening stages of a grand tour. I guess Movistar will have to hunt for a stage win with Guerreiro or Jorgenson now.

Played out pretty well so far

Gutted for them

Heard the jumbo-visma one there definitely a bit of getting used to and hopefully they will be a bit more insightful then that.

I don't know if this community is active enough yet to have a pre, race and result thread per stage, so let's see how we get on with one thread.

Really looking forward to this stage. I think it will make a great start to the Tour de France. My money is on van Aert for this stage he goes up the mountains a bit better the MvdP and he has the best final sprint of whoever will be left.

Makes sense going for his 4th Vuelta win. Maybe next year he can do the Tour de France again all though I feel he needs a bit of luck winning that one. There always seems to be someone better then him it either being Pogacar or Vinegaard.
