Close race between vd Breggen en vd Vleuten, the latter is riding in rain now. Hope she can still take it.

Re: Re: That is silly hyperbole. Some consistency is much appreciated. The director just changes from immobile camera to immobile camera. I like to watch a cyclist ride, and it's normal that we get some camera footage that follows a rider, even just for a minute. That to me is the beauty of...

I don't think I understand this discussion. The people that believe he dopes, also believe (almost) every professional dopes. Then why is this even relevant? There also seem to be people who believe he hasn't doped at all. (I'm not sure if his defenders think he is 100% clean tough) Can someone...

There look to be a lot of breaks and turns in the course. Which would make the riders suffer plenty who are on the back side of the peloton if it's raced hard. Or am I overestimating the sharpness of those corners?
