D-QS isn't easing off.
That TJ troubles looked like some island voodoo.
We'll see what's the loss.

Of course just after Cavagna wins the stage NBCSports switches over to hockey pre-game stuff and tells you you can watch the end on NBC Gold which is pay only. Had to go find the European feed to watch the end of the frelling stage.
They did the same today.

But, you can watch video of it online by going to ToC online -- I'm watching it there now:

Well at least they didn't end the coverage before the end of the race today. They just ended it right after Tejay crossed the line with no idea where any of the other GC riders were. That is TV coverage of cycling in the US for a US race.

Wow Pogačar really in great position now. What should we expect from Asgreen on Mount Baldy. Is he going to win again?

3 danes in the overall top 10 - I'm starting to like this race :p
Ofcourse Asgreen is not going to win the race, but I still see it as a plausible scenario that 3 danes are in top 10 after tomorrow. Gregaard is the one I'm most uncertain about
 
Wow! Voodoo is striking pelotons in both hemispheres. They're saying TJ's chain broke, which caused him to come off his bike? And then the missed turn while trying to ride his smaller teammate's bike, omg. That's some harsh voodoo.

Pogacar is looking very good, now. Mt. Baldy will be the crux.

The event's own web site has streaming coverage, and it doesn't cut off that quickly. The catch is that it seems to be restricted to US IP addresses (VPN alert!).

Gregaard is a proper climber, he is signed to Astana as such.

I have a sneaking feeling Hansen may surprise everyone for the overall in this race..... he has just been terrible since leaving Astana for Cofidis, close to a laughing stock.

But this guy has always been an odd duck, completely marching to the beat of his own drum, and may surprise everyone at this race.

Friday will tell :cool:

I'm sure it didn't, but when I went to their website yesterday I couldn't find it (it seems it's on their app), so found a European feed. But the problem here is we shouldn't have to go searching the internet for the finishing coverage because pre game shows are on TV. Not the actual game, just pre game talking.

Considering the race is organized in partnership with ASO a Tour de Farce like distortion of the rules is not surprising, looking at PCS results they've neutralized almost everyone gaps.

Wait, what? Did they decide to just neutralize the race from like 20k out or something?

Second crash (which seemed outside 3km) was inside 3km, and Tejay apparently caught that group so gets the same time...

Yes. He got really lucky there.
