Road furniture is a calculable risk, although the GC riders are making it harder for the sprint trains by insisting in sitting up front so as to not risk losing time. Force

paperwind posted:Love to see climate change loving up our bike races. Which isn't to say that anthropic climate change isn't happening, because it definitely is - just that this is hardly proof that's going to convince people who're lying to themselves and everyone else by denying the scientific consensus. It would be awesome to see the GC riders fight it out on the road to Champs-Élysées and on it. -Problem is, that's actually less likely to happen if they completely cancel the results of todays stage, because as far as I remember the classifications, the gaps yesterday were bigger than they are today, and todays stage was arguably worse for Alaphilippe than tomorrows stage.

Tomorroows stage halved to 60km

Wait, when did Bernal look down at the power meter during his attack? I think someone must've been watching the wrong feed.

Xabi posted:Bernal rocks but the whole stage should have neutralised yesterday. When no one knows there the finish line is, it’s not a proper race. I guess there aren’t no good solutions in a situation like this, but that would have been the least bad IMO. As to whether its least bad, I'll have to repeat what I said yesterday: It's worse for the close fight that we want them to have if they completely cancel the results of yesterdays stage, because as far as I remember the classifications, the gaps on the day before yesterday were bigger than they are yesterday, and yesterdays stage was arguably worse for Alaphilippe than todays stage because todays climb suits him more.

I'm so glad that Danish TV2 broadcasts Tour de France, as they only break for news at 1500 or 1600 on weekdays. Also, I've been looking at it - and if I read the points and right, Bernal might win the yellow yersey, the white jersey and the polka dot if he is first or second on Val Thorens, and if Bardet comes 8th or lower?

Feels Villeneuve posted:Seeing a rider of Bernal's natural ability win this one in such anticlimactic circumstances is like seeing a billionaire win $100 on a scratch ticket. I'd like to see what he can actually do for an exciting win, but chances are they'll just skytrain him for the next five years.

Holy poo poo, he won with several bike lengths. Absolutely beat Trentin to within an inch of his life.

Two danes in the top 10, too. Would've been free if Fuglesang had actually put in a bit of effort.

Oh my god, Rolf Sørensen (who some may recall from two decades ago, and is now very involved with the new generation of riders) is crying on air.

Also, I didn't even realize that Mads was one of the first to break away from the Peloton. So he's been in a breakaway for basically 5+ hours?

I do wonder if the fact that Mads is used to ride in rainy and windy weather helped today? Because Denmark has a lot of rain and wind. Although it has to be said that after almost 7 hours, it's mostly about who has anything at all left.

Wasn't it Valgren who kept up the pace just before Pedersen attacked from the Peloton? Great team effort.
