Typical sprint stage. Although not even having a breakaway all day is very unusual. Can’t ever recall that on a bunch sprint day?
Still interesting as background tv, and helpful to not have been too intense having had quite a few calls this afternoon. They’re all done now, so can focus in on the final sprint!
Yes, although things will start to ramp up from now. You can already begin to see some of the teams trying to get into position. And that always brings the risk of some carnage and crashes
I tend to watch ITV. I quite like David Millar He’s close enough to his active career he gives proper insight into race dynamics. Sean Kelly is not my favourite. I quite like Carlton though … he has a better voice to get you on the edge of your seat
Are any of the commentary teams actually at the race this year?
The Eurosport are all operating remotely. They had comms problems on day 1, so they could only hear Carlton Kirby in their London studio and he was just babbling on to himself for the first part of the broadcast. They had to draft Matt Stephens in to the London studio at short notice for everyone’s sake
Sagan doesn’t seem to have the legs for the big sprints this year. I think we’ll see him in every early breakaway now to hoover up as many intermediate sprint points as possible.
Uni mate in my friends league was 9th overall in the whole game yesterday. Now up to 8th. No idea how many people are in it in total (the game doesnt seem to say), but I’m in the 17 thousands, so it’s a pretty impressive feat
Overall - or for the stage???
That’s crazy good!
Not jealous at all
You do get 50 credits for signing people up, don’t you? So if you signed up loads of people you can get a shed load of transfers.
Time to drop WvA now folks!
That was his only stage win, he just said so.
Dropping back to domestique duties now.
Just like Alaphillipe not wanting yellow overall
