Hopefully this race will grow in status and give the hard men some proper races in the summer/fall.

I found that extremely interesting.

Yep. Its obvious one type of racing everyday does get boring. This type of race is exciting, as is a mountain stage, crosswind stage or the finale of a sprint stage can all be exciting, however a 'sprinkling' of everything us good to watch.RedheadDane said:lemon cheese cake said:The eurosport uk commentary team said having this in every race would be too much.robin440 said:Did Terpstra say that the organizers included too many gravels sections?

Of course it would. Just as it would be too much if every race was like Paris-Roubaix, or like the Andorra stage in last year's Vuelta. It would also - in a roundabout way - be boring; having it in every race would mean that this particular race wouldn't be unique.
Anyway, I like this race! I also liked the weather, though I have a suspicion the riders probably didn't agree with me. Well, that's not my problem, is it? :twisted:
