Loved SKA bridging at the end, if anyone knew that group was going to have issues chasing a gap down, it would have been him

Ewan had to be on the best day of his life, he nearly won in 2018 but that race took over 7 hours

SKA can't sprint so it made sense for him to slay himself for a chance at 2nd.

This photo from last year's Tour of Poland shows how close an FDJ rider was to getting impaled by a mangled piece of fence.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I don't hold up much hope for the Belgian classics of it carries on like this again.

The giro still looks fine however.

It's colder, it's more densely populated, vaccine rollout isn't great, they relaxed restrictions. The region between Paris and Roubaix is mostly farmville and the people who live there have farmville attitudes/politics.

Also the UK is hoarding the vaccines since europe stopped buying our shellfish.

While we don’t get it on GCN in the US, they don’t show coverage starting until 815am, so about 10 minutes from now. You sure it just hasn’t started yet?

That's just when the feed starts, very few races at this time of year have much more than 90 minutes or so live

Do they show it on TV too? If so, probably tied to that.

No chance, that would cut into their showings of *checks notes* Mecum Auctions and Copper Fit infomercials
