They had a problem that they had another Astana rider in that group. Bring Izaguirre back and he would jump. So he was doomed from even further out.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

For the first time in recent years, the overall weekend racing was better in Tirreno than in Nice.
There was an air of inevitability about how Movistar's move would pan out, given there so few riders with interest left in the GC and plenty interested in the stage win.
The price for having echelons a plenty, early on.

I quite enjoyed watching Paris Nice this year, the crosswinds and Luke Rowe smashing it with Bernal dishing out the pain too.
The sight of an aging classics specialist with an outside chance of getting into yellow courtesy of a massive super high mountain top finish.
Ive always thought the last day a bit meh apart from those 2 seconds in it battles and Contador of course.0
