Bahrain needs UCI points so I wouldn't be surprised if all of the riders here are told to sprint for whatever result they can achieve.

It was an uphill finish, but not as hard as this one, and this was a harder stage in general as well.

That's possible, but still it looked like they could both have finished in the top 3 and maybe even won the stage, if they had played it smarter.

Well, chapeau Tobias Lund Andresen! Uphill sprint on cobbles not bad from him at all. UAE having one of their rare off days.

There was no 12km climb at 6% on a stage finishing in Haderslev?

I have certain questions about the starting-town of today's stage.
Did they forget the vowels?

What do you mean? The 'r' should be a vowel?I have certain questions about the starting-town of today's stage.

Nah, in Croatian Krk means neck. (In Czech we also frequently skip vowels, in Czeck krk also means neck or throat.)I have certain questions about the starting-town of today's stage.

It's an island. Maybe Croatia's largest. However, the island of Cres is exactly the same size so who can tell?
That doesn't explain the missing vowels. I am sure that commentators will invent some, though, like they did with Svrcek who for some reason became Svacek at the U23 worlds.

I'm glad you pointed that out...
Maybe you just have to make a sound like something's stuck in your throat...

I think it all depends on how you pronounce the r, in Czech, for example, we have a couple of ways of prounouncing r, one of them includes an accent mark.
In Croatian or Czech the r in krk is prounounced in a way that simply doesn't exist in American English language at least, so that's probably why English speakers struggle with the lack of vowels.
Now somebody please explain Polish and Finnish to me - one language has too many consonants while the other has too many vowels!

Well.... once upon a time, there was a big war between the Polish and the Finnish over the control of letters. Finally, the two navies met in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
The battle raged for days, and nobody could get an upper hand, then - when it seemed North Europe would descend into linguistic madness, a truce was proposed.
Finland would get the vowels, while Poland would get the consonants.

It can't have been that long ago, if Meis Poland was alive at the time.

I'm sure most of us will be tuning in to dell'Emilia today instead of watching the CRO race...
I might watch some highlights of today's stage later, but for now see you all back here tomorrow for the final stage!

One more thing before I go and pollute the dell'Emilia thread with my scenery observations...
Yesterday's stage claimed more victims besides Ganna, still haven't been able to find any updates on him though.

Brilliant leadout from Uno-X, completely bossing it the last 4 km.
