Directeur Sportif Race Radio – Stage 1

🎙️ My Race Radio Calls in the hunt for the win.

Start Phase (0–50 km)

DS: “Alright team, let’s keep it steady. If a break goes early, let it roll. Remember positioning—stay protected. Hugo and Vito, stick with Girmay until the front gets hectic.”

Wind Alert Zone (116–106 km)

DS: “Potential crosswinds ahead. Louis and Roel, move up the flanks and keep the train tight. Watch for gutters, we ride in the top 20, no gaps.” Keep fueling the body, eat and drink – stay switched on.

Final Hour (Last 50 km)

DS: “Hydration check and gels now. Laurenz, look after the pace. No wasted moves—save the legs until the final 20 km.” Load up with fuel before feeding closes for the stage – (usually at 20km to go)

Lead‑out Phase (20–1 km)

DS: Guys, this is where we earn our place in history, “Georg on 5 km, Hugo on 3 km. Vito holds Girmay tight until 1.5 km. Stay calm, don’t get boxed in, and then it’s all attack. No hesitation!”

After the Line

DS: Well done, TEAM, you got us the win. You all did your job for the sponsors and Biniam today? You guys, did it? Yellow! Yes, a fantastic ride! Well done, team, well done, Biniam —perfect execution.”
