Paris Nice Stage 5 [Spoiler] And Stage 6 [no spoiler]

Olav Kooij take stage 1 and 5 sprints. Watching him explode seeing the like of Madds unable to match his crazy speed is some POG level sheit looks like to me...

Dude looked pretty fast to me. He came off a wheel of course, but the aerial seemed to show him moving about twice as the others...

It's going to be interesting to see how he fares in the GTs, where he'll face all the best sprinters.

Interesting stage 7!

It was encouraging to see Egan Bernal ride well. I'm not a fan of the Ineos team, but I have to root for a comeback from serious injury AND would love to see a super competitive 2024 TdF if Egan can hang with the likes of Tadej, Jonas, Remco, and Primos.

When he won the Tour, I figured he'd be untouchable for 10 years. How he's dealt with both his problems the next Tour, and then the horrific accident, is a real testament to character.
Plus, he's a beautiful, smooth as silk rider.

And yet another case for loosing TTs.

I can't recall a better Paris Nice..

Bernal finished ahead of Primos, both in top 10 fyi.

I'm with you guys on Bernal and Ineos. He seems like a good guy and it would be fitting for him to make a full recovery and be competitive again. So far, the signs are good.

Stage 6 Tirreno Adriatico post state Vingo interview:

Jonas: "Jai Hindley went, I went a few times....ahh yeah, at one point I decided I would try to attack myself"
