I'll be flying to Mallorca tomorrow. Was supposed to be riding, but unfortunately crash + shoulder surgery. Will be taking a laptop for GCN+, but if anyone happens to be there in the next 10 days and wants to say hi, let me know. I'll be in Alcudia with friends and would be open to also going to a bar to watch the race if anyone has any recommendations.
We booked a nice Villa for 8 in Alcudia and could host as well if any of you lot want to drop in.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -
Shame about van Aert, Alaphillippe and Girmay, but I guess we still have 5 previous winners, plus this year's Milan-Sanremo and Strade Bianche champions (plus last year's Brabantse Pijl winner) to make a race of it.

I don’t know what the situation is with Rob Hatch, but he’s nowhere to be found atm.

Not here in Thailand there isn't. Hopefully, Kirby and McEwen will take the start and leave the finale to the infinitely superior Blythe and Lloyd.stage_hunter said:
