For some reason, I can't wrap my head around these pros cycling through residential areas. Most races that goes through towns, they go through the downtown area and you don't see too many personal residences.
Good race. It's nice, but kind of funny to me.

I dunno, seems to me as a Canadian, euro races are very often going through towns and past houses. Just the houses in Europe look nothing like the crazy McMansions in the US!!

Yeah it's crazy how many millionaires are in the US.

So... according to the "logic" of Madison Shaw, the possibility of her getting home a bit later than usual is worse than the possibility of someone never getting home?

Good win by Canola, there was quite a nasty short climb with 1km to go so it was a very reduced sprint.

Such low traffic here.
Only Lequack can get a pass mark.

Can't be that Vikings are working on Sundays.

Must be Djokovic's fault.

Can't speak for anyone else, but do you really want to listen to/read my ramblings? Not much really happening...

I never hear ramblings from you.

Not much happening, but we can bring the life into it.
Hermans looks exhausted, for example.

Trust me… I can ramble!

I also wouldn't want Canola's left leg, and not only because it would look silly.

Hey, I've forgotten to ask you (not that I've had a chance, though), have you seen what happened in Copenhagen on Tuesday evening?

Aww… I was hoping McCormick would take it.
Yesterday he was (way ) too early.
Today he was too late.
Maybe next time he'll be just in time.

And Hermans is just strong!

So today is the queen stage? Can't see much change in the GC to be honest. Hermans, Piccoli and Eg (in this order) are the three best climbers in the race. It doesn't matter that they can isolate Hermans on the Empire Pass, because he is just going to counter any attacks himself.

But it has been an interesting race nonetheless. The desolate routes that they are riding (just take the gravel road up to the Olympic Park yesterday as an example) mixed with the occasional cross into residential areas and the selectiveness in GC has made it quite epic to watch unlike many modern stage races. There is something inherently misplaced about the race that I enjoy.

Amazing route, too bad the race is pretty badly placed in order to attract a better field. I really like this race, its always pretty good.
Cycling calendar is already really full in terms of stage races, so there aren't really many good spots left and the traditional WT stage races in the spring take up a loooot of space.
