As you can read below, Paris-Nice in particular is plagued by disease. In Tirreno-Adriatico, doctors’ offices were not often consulted, although Arkia Samsik reported that Nasir Bohani, who was a little too cold, was stepping down.
Remco Evenepoel attack 40 kilometers from the end? Remco was strong, but I think he was very keen on that. He wanted to attack, but I realized we had no chance because of the headwinds and the peloton being chased. Maybe he wasted a lot of his energy there so early in the final.
