Oooof…Visma cocked that up properly.
Saturday should be fun also, with the finish on a ski resort.
Here is a snapshot of the live footage in Auron:
Snow was still falling yesterday.
I really don’t understand why cyclists are sent to a ski resort in winter.

Any one else getting an error trying to watch today’s stage of Paris-Nice on Peacock?
I think they did the correct thing. Problem is Jonas is not on super form and Jorgensen could not hang with the top guys… If they just ride to the finish the outcome would probably be the same… Almeida was just stronger.
Yes, both in IOS and on my LG tv app
tough little climb up to the finish today
Liked the way Jorgensen rode today…rode for the GC and was willing to just burn his rivals off his wheel, except those shooting for the stage win. Too often in today’s racing, the favorites give up if they don’t get an immediate gap. Sometimes you just need to grind them down with the type of effort Jorgensen did today.
How were you able to watch? I know you’re US based and I kept getting errors with Peacock - and it was a Paris Nice error as other Peacock options worked just fine (Dan Patrick show)
I have a FLO subscription and use a VPN to access their Canadian broadcast.
Odd, I tried that as well and selected Canada - Vancouver as location and got the gray screen noting not available, maybe I should have tried others - or my VPN is no good any longer (Surf Shark)
Looks like the crash was worse than initially thought. Jonas might have a broken hand and was hurting for the rest of the stage.
I use NordVPN…not certain what region in Canada I patched into, though.
Thanks! My vpn was set for renewal in April and I just cancelled and purchased Nord for a year. Prior to deleting Surf Shark I logged into Flo Canada and was blocked from viewing Paris Nice highlights, once I logged in with Nord I was able to see them. So apparently something happened with Surf Sharks ability to disguise itself
The Stage 5 replay just showed up on the Peacock web site.
TVL will be all in for Jorgenson now, Vingegaard was a DNS today.
weather contributing to the racing today again as well
I remember seeing Josh Tarling win a junior race some years back and thinking he looked good on the bike.
Watching him give Mads Pedersen a run for his money in the gallop in the Paris Nice stage today was good to see.
Bit behind on Paris nice, but hearing that VC reported Jonas was not lucid post crash during the race. Anyone know if this is a translation peculiarity?
Just dropping this link here for no particular reason…..
Let the countdown to the best ~30km of the year begin!!
