Yeah, looks like the 8" 10" and 16" guys were all given the same time. Some of that was clearly off before. For example, Landa was clearly with the Valverde group but was given 10"Just noticed that they put the guys from place 5 and onwards on 8" instead of 10".
About time they just used actual times in uphill finishes because this is just BS. Almeida getting the same time as someone finishing 15 seconds behind him.Yeah, looks like the 8" 10" and 16" guys were all given the same time. Some of that was clearly off before.

In fact, Valverde had a bigger gap to Almeida than Landa to the Valverde group in my opinion. So this is fair. Don't know about the 16 second group.Yeah, looks like the 8" 10" and 16" guys were all given the same time. Some of that was clearly off before.

This is true, however.About time they just used actual times in uphill finishes because this is just BS. Almeida getting the same time as someone finishing 15 seconds behind him.
Yes, the positioning made half of the job, though Gaviria looked the quickest too.Gaviria won it on the turn.
Démare lost it on the turn.
Business as usual.
Villadiego, like the othersWhere did Cavendish finish?
Literally happened to me MondayThat can't be a good aerodynamic technique.
Were they in a different crash than the one in the final curve? He was ahead of that crash and it had no effect on him. In any case, Gaviria had no lead out either so it's not a good excuse.It's tough for Bennett when your two lead out riders in Morkov and Archbold crash with 400 metres to go.

Exactly. Bennett was in the really small front group that wasn't affected. He, Gaviria, and Démare were all almost perfectly placed but Gaviria was bold and took the biggest chance in the turn. He actually passed Démare in the turn when the latter was in perfect position in 2nd wheel going into it.Morkov and Archbold were out of position anyways.
They all tested negative for COVID-19.So Molano, Muñoz, and Ardila gone home...
