What time are they expected at the finish line?

Let's say in 65 minutes or so.

It happened last year..?

Route's different this year

 

[Tom T.]

Seem putting La Redoute so far out has made it inconsequential. I much preferred it being 30 km from the finish.

 

[Jelantik]

another bungee attack.

[Afrank]

Cobbles are so much funnier these last few years. Liege is also turning into a sprint finish in Ains...

I think that's just nostalgia. It's simply a truth imo that cycling is naturally a boring sport. You rarely miss much when you make yourself a cup of tea even at the peak of action in a race. That doesn't make it a bad spectator sport, but just different.

We filter the highlights in our head and don't remember the long boring parts.
That's with any sport. Every sport 'used to be better'.

EUSP Portugal commentator on the Garmin attack: Martin needs a hard race because he's not a fast finisher

 

[Roude Leiw]

Kind of a weak bike throw by Bakelandts there, seen that better executed this year
