Can anyone enlighten me on what a golden kilometre is?
Its new shizz. All bonus sprints occur within a 1km stretch.0 -
At 160km (23km from the finish) there will be a Gouden Kilometer so will be interesting to see how the sprinters and/or GC riders play this.

Interested to see how this is going to work.
Peloton chasing the break in time for the golden kilometre0 -
That golden kilometre reminds me of training on the track and sprinting to the whistle. Doug Dailey blew it about every 10 seconds0
-
Well it was entertaining. Bit too gimmicky to want it in other races though.0

What I have missed? Did anyone get points / prizes / time bonuses in more than one golden km sprint?0

:shock:
Admittedly, I don't know how this went or what effect it will have, but at first glance this looks like a big pile of artificial toss.
Why not give them a motor they can use in specific sections of the race?
It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.0 -
I think the race has finished. Spoiler thread doesn't make it clear who won though.Contador is the Greatest0

Your use of the Dutch word Gouden made me imagine a 'Gouda Kilometre' where riders have to bunny hop over cheeses rolled down a slight incline in a fashion reminiscent of Donkey Kong.At 160km (23km from the finish) there will be a Gouden Kilometer so will be interesting to see how the sprinters and/or GC riders play this.Twitter: @RichN950 -

If you look at the GC it is different from the stage order as the 4 in the break shared out the time second bonuses - including the hard working - and slightly gurning - Nico Denz at 21 years old. Boucher Fdj made a move with 1 km to go to the Golden Mile which was sensible as he might have got it all but to no avail
Denz looks a good deal - light and looks like he can time trial . He was riding for Chambery CF - Ag2Rs feeder team/school/concept - as an amateur and seemed solid . First WT race today. Another strong signing for the clued up Lavenu and the Chamery CF idea
THE FIGURES IN THE TRAINING CENTER EVERY YEAR ...
- 15, the number of riders per class
- From 19 to 23, the age of the group range
- 20, the average weekly number of hours of sport
- 25, the average weekly number of hours related to school
- 900, the number of days of average annual competition
- 300 000, the average number of kilometers traveled each year
- 2.6, the average number of professional contracts signed each year
Currently Clement Chevrier and Pierre Roger Latour - who is destined for big things- amongst other graduates

I like it when Griepel doesn't win. He's a bit too boring for me to like.It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.0

Gijs Van Hoecke and Jesper Asselman in the break. They have 3 mins 30s and there is 36.6km to go.0
-
Golden km is at 21km to go.
Golden mile sounds a lot more catchy.0 -
And if it rains in the Golden Mile...?Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0
-
Break down to 2 mins 20 s. Sky and Lotto on the front.0
-
Speculation that a deal has been done so that Asselman will take all the golden sprints and 9s. This would give him a 5s lead in the GC, and the white leader's jersey if Viviani doesn't score at the end0
-
Asselman takes all the golden sprints (9s total). In the one second sprints, Gilbert takes the first, an Astana rider the 2nd and Gilbert the 3rd.0
-
Almost back together now after the golden km excitement.0
-
Bit silly, but good fun that Golden Kilometer; Gilbert and that Astana rider having a nice little battle.
So Gilbert looks pretty good for the GC; definitely up for it0 -
Glad I'm not the only one that had no idea who the mystery Astana rider was!
Looking like it's going to be a sprint which isn't going to surprise anyone.
Edit - Cycling News says it was Grivko0 -
Lotto with a decent sized train. EQS also present.0
