I hope they actually started (trying to) clean the roads much earlier than the pictures got out. Otherwise, it gets really silly...

I know, right?

Do any of the organizers actually ride a bike, never mind race?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

I cannot believe this is an actual GT.

I wrote already while stage 1 being underway.
If anyone was ever in doubt, this is the Vuelta

Looks like that could be just before the descent section.

 

[Red Rick]

Lot of peope acting as if theyre forced to watch at gunpoint

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Has the person who drew up that Tour of America actually been in, you know, the USA?

 

[Didinho]

That run-in for the climb gonna be chaos with the peloton.

 

[gunara]

quintessential grand turd

Even Sean is confused.

It's still strangely appealing, though

 

[Red Rick]

We're totally gonna miss GC times because of breakaway

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Stage fight and GC fight will be at the same time

 

[noob]

Split screen plz!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

On which of these 200-metre descents will Mas get dropped?

 

[Didinho]

We're totally gonna miss GC times because of breakaway

The organizers also gonna miss GC times.

I would slightly redraw it and go for an echelon stage in the Grand Canyon and have the race pass through Yellowstone. It's surely to erupt once Pogacar attacks there.

I want CHAOS!

 

[iBanesto]

Times for GC to be taken with 2 km or 600 m to go?

Did I hear that?

 

[DNP-Old]

Times for GC to be taken with 2 km or 600 m to go?

Did I hear that?

2.050 km.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ghebreigzabhier for the win!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

2,050 meters to go.

 

[Didinho]

Go Lennard! Still 4km left.

If you want echelons, then you want Wyoming.

It seems as if it comes as a surprise to the organizers that there is a race underway.

When the weather changes, don't you have a plan B and C in your pocket on beforehand to grab immediately? Apparently not. But entertaining it is.

 

[saunaking]

why do they say times taken at 2km to go?
Why not just say finish is at 2km to go?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Way too easy for Kämna against this opposition, the only other half-decent rider in the group is Sobrero and it's showing.

 

[Didinho]

Peloton gonna finish their stage before the breakaway?
