Might go watch the extended highlights to hear the GCN commentary. Just get GCN+ and a VPN and be done with all the problems with other providers. I missed it; spent the whole day, today, watching. Avoided all forms of news until now. Very strange that you had no commentary. I was using Airplay from iPad and commentary was great with Rob Hatch, Magnus, Dan Lloyd and Adam Blyth. And of course Wiggo on the back of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect but popular opinion. Watch from another angle you will see riders cut onto pavement immediately after bollard placed to prevent this and spectator moving back. Race is on cobbles not on pavements and bike paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can see is ride with a cadence of about 90, and eat a lot. Still figuring out the math for my own nutrition, but to expend 6000 to 7000 kcal, you have to eat basically the whole time, while on cobbles, climing, attacking etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Maluti D90 (180Km, 2000m climbing, cold and windy) I burnt 4458 Calories according to Strava. 4 bottles, a couple gels and some bananas and I got all the carbs I needed. BTW, here was MVDP’s eating/hydration plan for De Ronde. Scary Rider and TheoG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily incorrect at all. Couldn’t care less wether it’s popular opinion or not. Having seen the other angles the fact is that there were no bollards in that section, which makes it a viable line. The fact is that five or six other spectators either side of the guys grasped this and kept their arms in and were out of the way. As much as the race is predicated by cobbled sections, it is open wherever there an opportunity that isn’t marked off. Has always been the case. justinafrika, Vetplant and NotSoBigBen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
