- How big a deal is Stage 1 usually? Does it always decide who wins yellow, or is it more about not losing too much time early?

- Venga Cian, ánimo! Calor terrible en Barcelona, aún hay tres semanas para remontar.

- Movistar bottled the strategy there. Seventh at the checks and then chaos on the climb—half measures cost them at least 20–30 seconds.

- Fair play to Uijtdebroeks for fronting up. Cramps in that heat are savage, and it’s a long Tour. He can still target a top 10 if he rides smart in week 2-

- I don’t understand why they didn’t just slow the whole group when Cian cramped. Isn’t the point of a team time trial to finish together?

- Garcia Pierna finishing solo in a TTT… oof. That looked like a communications breakdown in the car. Still, Visma were always going to smash that with Vinge flying.

- Is53 on day one basically GC over, or can he claw that back in the mountains? Genuine question.

- Brutal opener for Cian. Heat + first-day nerves + that kicker near Montjuïc is a nasty combo. Movistar’s TTT call was messy though—either ride for time or ride for the leader, not both.

- Higuita at18 isn’t catastrophic. If he limits losses in the first big summit finish, he’s still in the conversation for a topNeeds clean positioning and no more chaos.

- Slightly confused: article says “attacking eight-man squad” but then also hints at GC for Tejada. Which is it—are they backing him for overall or just hunting stages?
