'Formule 1' kind of start tomorrow: the top-20 starts on the front row, and the rest follows in order of the GC standings. Tom Dumoulin is expecting that to mean....absolutely nothing: "None of us, main GC candidates, will want to go hard from the first kilometer, so probably we'll just ride the first few kilometers rather slowly so the rest can catch up" :p 

 

Of course it's still something very different and I am very much looking forward to this potentially highly explosive stage :d 

 

I don't want to be the guy responsible for making sure that every single rider starts at the right place. It shouldn't be much of a problem with the first group but when.

But indeed, it shouldn't make too much difference .

It's just a show, especially as they're trapping the riders in a warmup area for the last half hour meaning that they can't really warm up the way they use to.

Come on, starting positions are barely important for keirin, let alone 65 km road race (even if that's extremely short).

It would only matter if people wanted to make a difference on the first climb (since you'd have to make up quite some ground on a climb, which costs energy), but I'm doubting any GC rider wants to play all their cards on the first of three climbs.

    • The Democrats have only themselves to blame for the outcome. However, just to think what were two candidates for a president of the most powerful country is just laughable. The meltdown of European countries on these results is quite a popcorn moment though, love to see it, especially the German one.  Also, someone said RIP Ukraine, RIP Palestinians - like Palestinians were doing so well over the past year while Democrats were still in charge, so now is gonna be even worse? Yeah, Trump might not be as generous in helping Ukraine though.   
    • because jews decide everything in USA , no matter voters are ...have you ever heard about "tampering"...jews killed Kennedy  , Monica Iivinsky sucked Bill Clinton , Satanyahu did put an item of spy into the toilet of Boris Johnson ..etc ...etc ,   tampering votes shocked you
    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.
