Word on the street is WvA will be chained to Rog and Jonas on those cobbles, but that doesn't mean he cannot sprint if he happens to be in the lead group going to the Finish line.... I think Wout will win on Stage 4 and will then be happy to work on Stage 5. PS.Gotta love sport, we have no idea what is actually going to transpire.

The course seems more inviting for a Breakaway to succeed on Stage 4 and even more so on the Arenberg Stage 5. Luckily my calendar is clean for Wednesday, but tomorrow afternoon requires some creative thinking...🤔

Thanks 🤦‍♂️

Yep, that is exactly the thing that made me nervous. If he'd gotten out of the car immediately, they would have shown it. So the fact that nothing was shown, told me they were unsure of his condition, which was concerning. Seems Albon got off worst though, as he had to go to Hospital, where Zhou was cleared at the track.

Also, our species is doomed to go extinct... Only one Human in this shot has the presence of mind to run away from impending doom 😱

Terrifying! Seeing that car sliding on the HALO in the Live feed had me worried. And then they decide not to show a single piece of video thereafter, had me thinking the worst.

From what I understand, he had a collision with some debris, that caused damage to he floor, which impacted his downforce significantly. Credit to Mick as well, he got his first points and really tried to get past Max but did it in a safe manner to make sure they both reach the Checkered Flag. Those last 10 laps were mental. You needed so many additional screens to be able to follow all the action on the track.

Maybe I was wrong and they all get the same conditions....

I've only tweaked my teams twice in the past hour, proud of myself..... Good luck with making your final picks, it is going to be great fun to see who knocks it out the park these 21 stages.

Refresher of what is on the menu for today. If I judged this course purely on the elevation Profile, I'd have said no-one will come close to Ganna. BUT, with all these corners, I think one of the Cyclocrossers are going to upset him. MvdP is starting 40mins before Ganna, Wout and Pog. There is a chance that MvdP can complete the course in the dry, and 40 minutes later it can be pouring. Significant clouds blowing-in from the south in the next couple of hours if you look at Sattelite imagery. Windy - Copenhagen A fair fight would be if it starts raining before the first rider rolls off the ramp, but the Weather never plays fair. EDIT: I see Bissenger starts 4 mins ahead of MvdP, also in with a SERIOUS shout today.

🤔???

Sooo much detail in the start list...

Reading into how teams have staggered this, one can quickly see the priorities of each team, or can we? Alpecin: MvdP->J Phillipsen TJV: Roglic-> Vingegaard ->WVA Ineos: D Martinez-> G Thomas -> Ganna (Does this mean they agree that Martinez is their best bet on GC?) UAE: Bjerg-> Laengen -> Pog (Interesting, they might be planning to sus out the way the coarse rides before launching Pog)

FYI, Top contenders will start sooner rather than later:

And then we get cases like this:

All I'll say is that I love these systems with a finite budget. We all know who the obvious favorites are if we had no constraints, but here you need to balance your team of marquee riders alongside some from the bargain bin. And it is these bargain bin purchases that define your whole performance, IMHO. I've got fingers crossed for my rider to surprise everyone on Stage 5.

One more sub:

I guess some of the riders have a specific section of road on their minds... PS. These pictures are not of the same piece of road, but I think the message is coming across.

You'll be all good with two of those panels. The charging current is listed there is just the maximum achievable. Your 20A should be fine. In an ideal world I would try to find 2x 420W Panels to get the most out of the setup.

I can see my Outlook Calendar suddenly filling up with my own "Meetings" from 2PM onwards...

Looking forward to a packed Loftus on Saturday. Last Test Match I attended was a match against NZ in 2009. https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/springboks/only-3-700-tickets-left-for-boks-wales-test-as-loftus-cranks-into-gear-for-near-sell-out-20220627

😲 You meant Declercq, right?
