Have to imagine it all comes back on the first lap of the second loop but forcing some leaders to waste energy early.

This is going to be hurting a lot of riders. Difficult to see the pure climbers coping well with all these changes of pace.

This is a totally different race from London though, and a different captain. It's at least not as bad a strategy as 2012, maybe even a decent one.

My stream dies, and the race blows up...coincidence :mad: :mad: :mad:

"Nothing happening" according to sch.ORF.
That was the 2nd time they changed to another event directly before the cobbles. Those guys are so incredibly stupid.
