Itzulia... I think the last climb on stage 5 is this from the looks of things:

I don't the y axis tracks with that?
 
I haven't watched a whole lot of Zwift racing, but I definitely didn't expect the "cameras" to miss the finish. Anywho, Adegeest was clearly the strongest among the women yet again.

The Danes played it perfectly in the men's race, where Bjørn Borreby Andreassen broke away early in the final, and Jason Osborne wasn't able catch him in the end. Similar to the Danish team in the Euro 1992, Andreassen had not originally qualified for the tournament, but was given the spot when another rider got disqualified.
 
Here are all the Jumbo riders on the provisional startlist for Omloop Het Volk, followed by their amount of race days in 2023:
Tiesj Benoot (0)
Edoardo Affini (0)
Christophe Laporte (0)
Jan Tratnik (0)
Dylan van Baarle (0)
Mick van Dijke (0)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (0)

Being a rider on Jumbo has to be the most boring tihs on the planet.
Perhaps they are just being traditionalists and following the old calendar in which Omloop/ Het Volk was the first race of the season ;)

Het Volk, lol. I didn't think people were still pushing that name.

But quite an interesting stat. Maybe they won't relegate after all?
 
Sorry now I'm sad about that time we were debating whether to build a huge mountain from scratch which never happened because it was actually ludicrous

Is it?

Original proposals were pure fantasyland stuff like 2000m high hollow building with skiing slopes and the entire shebang.

70m isn't much more than the 'let's cover this trash heap and put a single lane road on it' stuff we already have with the VAM berg.

Small step for a man, giant step for society. If this succeeds, you can set your clock to it that the likes of Thijs Zonneveld and other inbreds will jump out of the woodworks to demand more. Die berg komt er.
