That was a classic reduced bunch sprint, in that you don't have dedicated sprinters or trains, so the freshest or fastest guy often wins vs getting the best leadout. Anyway, some solid names there for Jenthe to take the win. It sounds like an interesting parcours, hoping to find some kind of coverage to rewatch.

It just annoys me so much to have a live feed without any indication of how many km's are left to the finish.
That's basic in this day and age, can not conceive anymore how I was capable of watching something before that turned standard.

JCL Team Ukyo managed to put 3 riders before the first Astana.
Lots of work to do with that train, Laas looked like was stuck in that same speed while the other trains came passing by left and right.

Did anybody see something happen to Fausto at the finale. He is listed as same time as the winner but he crashed or had a mechanical issue. I didn't see it

I don't think it was Masnada, but I felt for the guy who was moving forward at a good rate on the right of the peloton with about 2km remaining, and then gave up with an air of resignation visible from the helicopter when the road became a stoney margin.

Unless the baby has a problem with being gently rocked in his father's arms, I'd say 'no'...
So this obviously means that Merlier is going to have a career year. He's clearly been sprinkled with the QS magic sprinting dust...

Ofcourse not. Guys like Lutsenko, Charmig & SA Andersen won on this finish before. Pure sprinters don't stand a chance.
My favorite is Zingle, if he has good legs. I expect Van Gils, Ulissi, Herrada, Jorgensen, Lutsenko, Vansevenant, Hirt (was 2nd here last year), Formolo, Aleotti, ... to be close too.

It's good to have you back. I was thinking you might abandon this forum.
P.S. Even though you sometimes rub me the wrong way you add to this forum.
