I can't believe how good Fisher-Black was in that sprint. It almost looks like he had the momentum to at least contest the win until he was squeezed between Milan and Philipsen (after which he had to let up a little to try to go left of Philipsen and then be swerved again). He also had an insane comeback at the top of Willunga Hill. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

We're looking into it.
 
I wonder why the King of Arabia, Tom Pidcock, is not riding here.

I'm gonna need you guys to do me a favour.
Keep an eye - or two - out for Price-Pejtersen (if they show him) to see what kit he's wearing.
In other words: whether DCU have remembered to inform UCI (and Alpecin) about the change in ITT National Champion.

Well, that answers that question.
Understandably, UCI wants a more... detailed explanation of what the hell happened. Unfortunately, well... DCU is in shambles.
 
Another top product is out there. Van Eetvelt has just started.
Do you not see the difference between the fact Lotto have no sponsor ties to the race and the fact Pogacar's employer is also the sponsor? It is just quite funny that with these weird TT start rules, the organisers have put themselves in a position where the guy they hire is (very understandably) out before the TV broadcast in the TT.

Feels like an organiser problem when all top teams can start their leader before the broadcast.

Everyone is doing it so it is just weird to single out one rider or team.

Rules are the rules.

Broadcaster should be mad at the organiser when this is possible.
