Like every year, I am again perplexed by the existence and presence of Polychronis Tzortzakis. At some point I'm going to have to look up how starting spots are assigned to nations, because... Greece?! The only races he's ever won were a) the Greek championships (where he races against 49 year old amateurs and people who got popped for doping in Europe Tour 2.2 races), and b) the GC of Europe and Africa Tour 2.2 races (there's a race called "In the steps of the Romans", held in Bulgaria. The more you know)

Whoa, the Lithuanian starter (somehow NOT Ramunas?!) has won the GC of Tour of Yancheng Coastal Wetlands in 2015. He, Ramunas and the Romanian guy are all teammates these days btw

The more you know) it's tiered by the nations' place in the uci world rankings. the top 50 get at least one rider, higher get more. then a nation that hasn't qualified this way but has a rider in the top 200 individual uci ranking gets a spot. then reigning world, and continental champs get spots. the host nation can also get extra spots if they don't already have the max. greece are apparently 37th best cycling nation according to the uci rankings.

Interesting, thanks for the write-up. I guess the thing that I find weird is that national championships give (quite a few) UCI points. But then again there's quite a few countries without national championships.

A detailed discussion of how the other nations can beat Wout Van Aert but no-one has mentioned GvA attacking him when he gets a puncture.

I think the Swiss may have killed Michi Schär for nothing. They're down to three riders now and no one else seems interested in keeping the pace high (at least this far out - I really don't know what they were trying to accomplish really) e: thank you, Russian dude

They're showing how much they want free movement in Europe by providing maximum movement for a lot of Europeans for free.

I thought they were setting up Hirschi for a long ranger, get the break down to a minute and go? And here come the French. Can't wait to see Alaphilippes 300m attack before cracking.

They might have killed off some of the last part-timers. But nobody cared about them anyway.

Whats the plan here for the French? they're too far out for Alaphilippe to launch on the next climb and they havent got the team to keep at this for another lap

I suppose if you keep 8 Belge around eventually they'll start killing each other. There's no way GVA isn't plotting how to ditch a few already

Even assuming that Alaphilippe is in tip-top form, surely the French team knows that he can't attack on the penultimate lap?

Maybe they're just trying to make sure they're mentioned in the reports. The national version of getting your team jersey on the TV.
