Ok, we have 3 sprints today according to the profiles I've seen. How many have bonus seconds and is it the normal bonus seconds att he finish? TdS website is not very clear on it.

Edit -found on cyclingstage.com - Starting at kilometre 122, the Golden Kilometre serves two opportunities to gain time bonuses of 3, 2 and 1 seconds. The first three riders on the line take 10, 6 and 4 seconds.

3-2-1 seconds at the "Tissot KM Sprints" with 51.7k and 50.7k to go, 10-6-3 points at the "React Sprint" with 17.5 to go, according to the roadbook. So no points at the first two sprints, no bonus at the final intermediate one.

Navigating PCS to look at profiles used to be so easy and it’s near impossible now, what the heck.

There is the "All stage profiles" option with blue typing below the menu on any profile page.

Yeah, the best way is to go on yesterday's stage result, click on the profile and then you just click next stage/forward.

 

[Potomac]

The "key points" on the live stats page has been rubbish lately, too.

 

[tobydawq]

Zukowski average speed of 159.3 km/h will be difficult to beat.

This is stage 1 rather than a prologue, so elimination at what, 30% over that time? It could be a lonely week for Zukowski.

Zukowski has tried to embark on his lonely week. Sadly, Michael Schär didn't get the memo so he decided to join him in the break today.

Stage profiles are all in the OP, first page of the topic. Devil's Elbow made a follow up post with profiles of all the climbs in detail.

Looks like PCS never got Red Rick's memo about there being 50 climbers better than Van Aert.

Climbers ranking

Who is the best climber of the moment? Tadej PogaÄar has the most climber points (1580) before Jonas Vingegaard (1200) and Felix Gall (1064).

it's Schär's home stage, he lives in Nottwil. So I guess he is excused to grab this final opportunity before he retires

I did see that and thanks, I just had PCS open and have been a bit confused by the new layouts lately.

New set up. I said the same thing myself. But now you can look at all stages at once. We'll get use to it.

Thomas and Gaudu closer to Vingo than Vingo to Pogacar at #1

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Sagan for the win

 

[Rob5091]

We'll probably see a lot of Q36.5 as they are a Swiss based team - even though their origins are in Italy.

Okay, fine then.

Keep in mind this is before Ayuso beats Heras time up towards Angliru, since UAE hasn't won a Grand Tour in over 2 years!

 

[Rob5091]

Hoping for a Démare win just for the FDJ soap opera to get some added spice.

I wouldn't put Matthews in my top 10 of best climbers either, though.

Why? You clearly don‘t have the insights on the climbing levels. It should be obvious that Pogačar is clearly the best climber as well. You just don’t see the truth.

3-2-1 seconds at the "Tissot KM Sprints" with 51.7k and 50.7k to go

+a Tissot watch for the daily "overall winner", according to SRF. If two riders end up with a similar amount of seconds, it goes to the one which finished ahead at sprint #2.

Today it goes to Schär.

 

[Aimar16]

That's a lot of work for a budget watch

 

[saunaking]

while we are talking about stage profiles, can we please CONGRATULATE THE BRILLIANT TDS ORGANIZERS FOR

FINALLY CREATING STAGE PROFILES THAT END AT ZERO!!!

YES I WANT MY STAGE PROFILES TO MATCH UP WITH WHAT I SEE ON THE TV SCREEN - KMS to GO

No more stupid maths trying to figure out when the next climb is coming, just at a glance, profile says 40k to go, tv is at 43k to go.

THANK YOU SWISS GENIUSES

Oh, and of course its the Swiss that finally did this.

Pay attention ASO and RCS and Flanders guys
And cronoescalada and flamme rouge and whoever else makes profiles

How hard is this??

Today it goes to Schär.

These fancy watches kids wear around their wrists these days. Back in my day, we just wore a clock around our necks.

Here's me in better times:

 

[RedheadDane]

Big crash. Road completely blocked. Front part waiting to let the rider implied get back.
