I think this is the type of circuit where a weaker rider just dies after so many repetitions on the circuit.
We'll see. I do think that at least some of these guys will still be ahead when the big guns come out to play. Now we saw the Pogacar-Van der Poel-Van Aert group close minutes to a much stronger early move in Flanders, but I still wouldn't be too surprised to see one of these riders to crack the top-10.

It’s about the worst possible way to protest, because whatever the message they are trying to spread, it won’t be on tv, and people will even turn themselves against the message, because the protestors are getting exactly the opposite of what they want.
Anyways, it’s a perfect break for lunch! 😀

It's just annoying at this point. It's not like it's even disputed at this point, i.e. fossil fuels aren't great for the environment. We get it. We knew it decades ago.

We don't need a bunch of cretins interrupting a bike race to remind us.

How kind of the protesters to do this when I'm on a train, thereby allowing me to see more of the race later.

You do have to wonder whether they're being funded by the interests they're claiming to oppose. Either that, or they're just plain stupid.
 
Too much talk about peloton going faster than years ago, but in some other areas they are going backwards
