Effectively I think that means most people can climb off and leave the mental sprinters too it?

The coverage was saying the race time is taken from that point, so yeah I guess a lot will just stop

Swiss feed for the stage is being shown without commentary, it's really enjoyable way to watch with just the noise of the bikes, motos and fans.

I'm gonna guess stage positions done at the end of the last sprint but with the time taken at the first

Now they're saying they may shorten the stage since the riders are going so slow.

I'm gonna be happy when the classics are here again, grand tours are just not my kind of racing. We should start a new thread.

Lotto Soudal's twitter is saying that everyone needs to finish the stage even after the first passage of the finish. Let's see if they can drag this out until nightfall

I was hoping to see movistar try to make a break for it to take a minute out of froome. Is there a small enough time gap that is acceptable to race for on the last day?

No. With the exception of a crash that prevents a rider from finishing the fight for yellow finishes the day before Paris, except in a time trial.

Fun but tough three weeks poo poo posting with you lot, glad we got through it without anyone getting arrested, pissed or spat on. Looking forward to a well earned rest before the Vuelta, Worlds, and Lombardi before having to content ourselves with the transfer market.

Did someone call it at the beginning the gc winner would also get the kotm this year or did I imagine that?

They need to revise the point scoring. It's ridiculous that the GC winner picks up the KotM by accident and the green jersey winner didn't win a stage.

The KOM Jersey going to Froome is the nature of the beast when there are so many mountain top finishes and he dominated so many of them. Points jersey is broken from a publicity point of view but it's original intention was to reward the most consistent finisher, who you guessed it, was Sagan.
