Milano-Sanremo, Keeping His Distance

Descending off of the Cipressa, Daniel Oss (Bora-Hansgrohe) opened up a rather large gap on the following peloton.  On the way down, he had a near miss with the camera moto, almost coming down on one of the sharp turns on the cliffs over the sea.  Once off the front Oss road hard to keep the peloton from catching him up.  Along the roads, fans safely observed their social distancing (and wore masks) just as Oss kept his social distance from the rest of the race.

Paris Nice, Stage 6: Finishing the Plan

I'm not sure I will get use to the image of a stage winner saluting an empty roadside.  None the less, Tiesj Benoot (Sunweb) still took a bow for the race photographers.  Benoot had capitalized on the hard work of his teammates all stage long.  He had started the day in third by 1'10" but now is in second, trailing Schachmann by less than a half minute.  With just one stage left to race, the mountain top finish will be a wild scramble to get up the mountain first.

Paris Nice, Stage 4: Cheered All the Way

Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) is not exactly known for his time trialing abilities, but today the crowds gave him lots of encouragement all along the course.  This image might be why we are stuck with no racing until perhaps the Tour de France.  With the fear of spreading the Corona Virus the Paris Nice race organizers have already closed the finish line to spectators.  But cycling is the one sport that is mainly contested on the open road with free access to fans.  It is impossible to stop fans from gathering at the points on course they think will be most exciting to see their favorites ride by.  I am sure Bardet appreciated their support all the same.
