I don't think that really classes as 'gossip', it's not like it's rumour being spread, it's pretty well-known and explicitly acknowledged by all parties.

I was more thinking in the sense of "things not really relevant to the race."
Unfortunately, it looks like she might be caught.

And she is. Once SD Worx starting helping on the front it was over. Floortje now giving it a go to keep the group honest since it's not really big enough to do a leadout and hoping to profit from indecisiveness about the chase.
Abysmal coverage of the finish, they seem to have completely missed Mackaij being caught, and then we get the usual *** with Kopecky and Wiebes just outmuscling everybody at the line. Like, if Lorena is now getting over the Cauberg at the front, she was never going to get dropped on this circuit. Balsamo tried gamely to repeat her heroics from before, but Kopecky made her go the long way round on the curve to the finish and she didn't have enough time to get round Little Miss Contract Law even if she'd had the legs to.

Seems like to camera people went to the same school as those in the Vuelta...

It's somehow even less excusable on a circuit finish since they'll have had the chance to do these roads several times already to know what to expect!!!

Since both I and Jose didn't see Mackaij get caught, I'm pretty sure she won the stage. At least I've chosen to believe it.

Hey we got a pretty good photo finish picture, sadly it came before the riders got there.

Personally, I prefer photo finishes that are taken when the riders cross the road.

Nice homage to AVV, but as a Dane I have to apologise for the fact that Safri Duo ever made it to the Netherlands.

They used Played-A-Live for the podium ceremony. I don't know if they still perform together, but I do know the song was sampled by some Germans this year.

Marta Lach revenged Kasia's bad luck by winning in Fourmies, while Barbara Malcotti took her first pro win in Ardèche.

The Dutch gave the world the Vengaboys, Alice Deejay, Doop, T-Spoon, 2 Unlimited and Tiësto, I think they can put up with Safri Duo, Aqua and Whigfield.

My favourite Qué-Basque-ish rider Olivia Baril won the last stage in Ardèche, while Cavalli held on to her overall lead. She's won 3 French races now, so now she just needs to add the biggest one to her palmares.

I can't believe how many riders still get caught out like that you'd think they'd have imprinted in their brains, don't celebrate till you've crossed the line
The daft thing is she shoulder checked and saw the peloton was gaining, and its got Reusser and Vollering doing the lead out, surely that's head down ride as fast as you can time and don't stop till you're zooming past your soigniers

Schremf would have won if she didn't celebrate - I don't understand Niewiadoma attacking relentlessly today - Save your energy for stage 2!

Kasia just can't help herself. If she had any restraint whatsoever she'd have won a lot more, but it seems like she's got a standing policy of, every race has a right place to attack, and if I attack everywhere I'm sure to be right eventually! It makes her a lot of fun to follow but also very frustrating to follow as the amount of races where she's had the legs to succeed but hasn't won are countless.

The queen stage is well underway with the riders having already crossed the top of Les Mosses. The Swiss doctors have just tried to break away, but they didn't make it. Bertizzolo has been dropped on the climb.

They will still be able to show more than 45 minutes of the race, if they have live pictures soon.
