You‘d think this would be the stage for Torstein Train…Teams must have been a bit nervous having to take the car train to the start, I guess - but the bikes did fit

Meeus said 10%, which actually could be an issue for some, I guess. But no idea where that number came from.
Trek doesn't know what the problem with Skjelmose was yesterday, btw. Andersen thinks it could be related to the unexpected "heat"

I understand shortening the stage because of the big pass. But what about the finish? why did they shorten that finish? wasn't high enough and there wasn't a descend at the end.

Got my VPN and Swiss stream all fired up, and we're off to the races! (Kinda got the impression if I blinked I would miss the whole stage, can't wait to see what the peloton will do with it.)

They did not shorten the finish. The km markers at the end are a bit of a mess.

Why are Brian Smith and Carlton Kirby thinking this is a breakaway stage? Is this stage an uncontrollable 290 km slog?

I am more interested in the rocket program in Blitzingen he was talking about.
Also I think Kirby just likes doing stuff with words, and a coherent sentence is somewhat less important.

They all rolled out and reformed ... as would be expected! (lots of forum jokes about start your engines and why not do a Le Mans type start with riders running to their bikes) Quintana had 2 punctures changed bikes and still won (if I remember correctly)

With Discovery Plus I can switch to Danish commentary whenever Kirby is on. So I will no longer need to complain about him, and my blood pressure can stay at normal levels all through the race. Life is good.

I am trying to enhance my Dutch skills now, but I don‘t understand anything. Sadly can‘t put on Danish for some reason.

his schedule is olympics, vuelta, world's, lombardia so the not in top condition performance makes sense

Good luck! Cycling commentary is actually a good source for a bit of language learning, I've found. Using a bit of familiarity with German as a base, I've watched enough Sporza through the years to have a rough understanding of most of the things they're talking about.
Well, not really. He's used to racing wide open, cross eyed for 1-1.5 hours, not coasting downhill for an hours before playing chess on a 7 KM climb.
