    Live coverage of Sprint Finishes: Head-on camera or Helicam shot?

    They almost produced the sprint in the same way in Turkey today. Overhead shot until a few meters from the finish line. That doesn't work of course - we need to see the distance to the finish line sooner -, but I like the concept of showing the riders from above.

    Plenty of clothes on the riders today. Surely a result of Fleche-Wallone, to a large degree.

    Chris Horner is torching knuckleheads and murdering everyone's name

    I don't watch Horner's analyses so much anymore. Too many races are being decided way before the interesting tactical maneuvers (and potential blunders) come into play. It's sad for cycling.

    LA fleche wallone thread

    But there's evidence that Williams was slowed down by wearing too much clothes in Liège? Experts have said that the reason for Skjelmose's bad performance may very well have been his hypothermia on Wednesday.

    LA fleche wallone thread

    I think we agree that it's important to analyze on the weather before a ride. That's become much easier in recent years with all the apps and radar info. The temperatures were sligthly higher today than on Wednesday. And of course, it rained less. That means that less clothes were needed...

    I’m not sure Pidcock’s shoe cover strategy was the right one.

    Perfect motorpacing for the race favourite on La Redoute.

    The geography doesn't mean anything here, but I guess you are aware of that. ;) If you're so cold that you can't move, it's pretty serious. Some riders have said that their entire season was influenced by riding a race in wet and cold conditions. Like Magnus Cort in the Giro when the weather...

    Sporza had an interesting article about the long-term impact of hypothermia. Potentially it could mean that Skjelmose, Hirschi etc. haven't recovered fully yet.

    LA fleche wallone thread

    I've participated once at a race where the temperature was +5 celsius. And a couple of times in +7. It was dry in all instances. What is important here, is if there are descents. On descents, it doesn't matter how many watts you can do, and what your heartrate is - at +5, you're virtually in a...

    LA fleche wallone thread

    Any naked skin is exposed to cold in 5 degree heat - whether the sun is shining or not. Long tights and sleeves have minimal impact on wind resistance, and you won't get too hot as long as the temperature is below 10 degrees. The same goes for gloves for the whole hand - you can get very thin...
