Well that must be the quickest break to be established in a long time.

200m after the start and all done and dusted.

 

long stage and the sprinter teams probably  don't want to work to much.

 

I think tomorrow's stage start will be different

one thing is damn irritating, the continual Zwift ads that are on during every single ad break on ITV are driving me mad.

 

first world problem.

 

seems they're using the monthly increase for advertising... Sufferfest looking a good option

FFWD is a beautiful feature on the PVR remote

Food for thought when someone launches a late attack:

 

On GCN recently they shared the findings of a study looking at the Power savings a rider has with a TV motorbike up the road. The number are bonkers!

 

Moto 50m up the road:7% reduction in drag

Moto 30m up the road:12%

Moto 10m up the road:23%

Moto 4.8m up the road:36%

 

I actually don't mind this, it promotes some exciting finishes and late attacks.

and helps Frenchmen wins stages!

TV director to Motorbike drivers:

 

"Remember when there is a Frenchman attacking we need to have as much of a close-up of the rider for the French Viewers..."

Wout van Aert is the closest rider to the yellow jersey, only 20 seconds down on Julian Alaphilippe but his team’s tactic is centred around a bunch sprint for Dylan Groenewegen today. “Dylan is our main leader in a stage like this”, the white jersey holder said this morning. “He is in my opinion the fastest rider in the peloton. If we deliver him to the right position, he will be able to win. It’s true there is a climb at the end of the stage, but we are confident Dylan will be able to cope well with it.

 

Would love for Wout to be holding a secret late attack on that climb in his back-pocket... That way the other teams need to chase him and Jumbo can just pitch with their sprint train at 1.5km to-go if they do catch him...

Final day of watching live stages.

 

Final 5km to finish is downhill and could cause a few crashes[emoji85]
