If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, that’s France for you. Now that they’ve got the great National Symbol of National Unity done, everyone back into their rabbit hutches.

heywoodu 13,504 Posted September 28, 2020 #155 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Everyone, take a breather today, because it's going to be madness from tomorrow on I don't believe it's correct, since I think 2 November is the first day without a WT race after tomorrow, but still.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted September 29, 2020 #156 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Stage one of the Binck Bank today! 20k to go. Unique feature: a blizzard of quick sprints just before the stage end to break things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 3 sprint bonuses in 1km. Jasper Philipsen of UAE gets it by half a wheel. Lots of GC guys distanced by the crash, looks like a few season-enders as well.

Aaaaand that's it for the BinckBank Tour. Or it could be. The three stages in the Netherlands have been cancelled tonight, organizers are scrambling to see what to do now. An option is to have a time trial at the Zolder race track. Bit of a weird decision specifically to cancel tomorrow's stage. Like a lot of people would show up on a rainy weekday for a time trial in Zeeland of all places. Anyhow, tomorrow is going to be a rest day after today's opening stage, whether or not the Tour will continue will be decided later.
