But it's not Gregaard.

I also believe in equal Jonasness!

Is there a food prize for each stage? Kielbasa? Pierogis? Kraut?

That sounds like something for the Podiums and Prizes thread!

So after much grief about the lack of live coverage we actually have coverage of the whole stage.

interesting that Hayter somehow ended up in this race. I mean, it's obviously a good looking profile for him, but initially he was supposed to win some gold medals for England in the Commonwealth Games this week, and it actually seemed to be pretty big goal for him as well.

The Commonwealt Road Race is organized next sunday, so I assume Hayter and Cav (and Maybe some more) will go there directly after this race finishes.

no one even tried to dive bomb that final corner. perfect opportunity

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Some horse**** finale, a crash with a Km to go, way too many corners, and Kooij won.

Jumbots flying again

Nothing wrong with that final. Crash happened on a 8 lane highway. i doubt the peloton will ride on a wider road this season than the one where the crash happened.

It was a Mario Kart stage in the last few K that, the crash was in the most innocuous part however, big open road

There was an absurd amount of 90 degree turns for a sprint finish for my liking.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kooij should be going to the Vuelta imo. With Roglic in questionable health, it's a rare time where they likely won't need to control the race.

Also interesting that Meeus sprinted for Bora.

And how do you connect to that Polish tv app? Including how to set up the required VPN.
Tiz got shut down, so can't use that.

I watched it on Tiz.

 

[Samamba]

Crash was in the last 3k right so those gaps aren't correct right?

Strange... I was watching on Tiz - frequently stopping so it wouldn't get "overloaded" - then I got a "removed due to copyright infringement" message.

Yeah stage always shows the time gaps but it just doesn't get reflected in GC

Yeah, then they fix the issue and it comes back not long after.

But it certainly isn't a preferable way to watch a race. Also very laggy.

it's a late finish on Saturday, ~18:30 + potentially podium - and even if it's theoretically possible to catch a late flight, it probably doesn't make much sense.

So I'd be surprised if Cav or Williams stay around longer than mid-week. Hayter was already taken off the list for all Commonwealth races:

(for the road race, Vernon came in instead, as far as I can see)

 

[Anderis]

yeah, but originally stage 5 was still hard:

Between the route presentation and now, they somehow changed it to a reduced sprint

Apparently the local authorities promised to improve roads in the area but didn't deliver, so they had to abandon some climbs.

Doesnt Pologne end on friday?

oh, indeed it does, yeah. I mixed things up there - so there's one day in between

The bigger issue is that Declan Quigley will lose his voice by the end of the race if he has to continue solo from the beginning of the stage, especially seeing there are two or three 200+ stages.
