Peacock coverage is freaking horrible...all I get are the same commercials and then a screen tellilng me that coverage will continue shortly...then Dumb and Dumber fumbling their way through the names of the riders. It's just horrible coverage.

I like the way Jumbo is set up, in a line on the edge except a guy besides Vingegaard, to protect him from swerves.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Looking forward to the full JV sprint train for Wout today

 

[VorstM]

Vingegaard pulled.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is the finale technical?

I did a breakdown of the finale in the OP, the main pinch point is a 180° turn at 2k to go. The other roundabouts are similar to what they've been going through the past 10 minutes already

Trek sitting on Soudal, benefitting from their work.

 

[RedheadDane]

Thought he was married

I think that kind of talk is against the rules.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

So many sprinters up for this, that finish is going to be pretty crazy

 

[Tim Cahill]

The lesser seen Astana train with an impressive move up the right hand side

Edit: and they revert to type immediately losing position

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen in front of Moerkoev in front of Jakobsen.

Looks like Asgreen is going to do one of his insane 600 M pulls from around 1 K to go.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Is the finale technical?

Not sure, but we're about to find out.

[Armchair Cyclist]

Ned Boulting just used "poisson pilote"

 

[SHAD0W93]

Vinge most of heard all the talk yesterday and looking to make up for it.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

What exactly is Ineos doing?

 

[Poursuivant]

What’s Kwiatkowski up to?

 

[Boehmand]

Too soon for Uno-X and Arkea

 

[SHAD0W93]

Cav is glued on Philipsen and AF train looking to do like his first two wins in 2021.

 

[Scarponi]

Ewan will win this

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ned Boulting just used "poisson pilote"

Fancy.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Everybody safe through the 3k banner.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Cav is glued on Philipsen and AF train looking to do like his first two wins in 2021.

Good plan.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Too many trains here, it could get messy

 

[postmanhat]

Frank Lampard riding for Soudal according to Sean Kelly

 

[Boehmand]

Asgreen at 1.7 K is too soon, Soudal ran out of people.
