But what a bore fest, loads of blokes on a motorway, the "climbs" being an off ramp
Yesterday's finish was far from a motorway off ramp: narrow and quite technical, but that aside I'd have to agree.
Today's stage being the worst of the lot. Hopefully, the next two days will see the race leave these featureless motorways."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Nice to see Cav right up there with Jakobsen and Bennett. A pity that he had to sprint around that Argentinian bollard."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Anybody watch the Klondike GP on Eurosport player. It’s the first race in the British women’s race series,it looked a hard race based round Whitby with a finish in Guisborough. However the filming and commentary were absolutely awful.0

The prospects for Turkye's one worthwhile stage don't look good.

I switched on the Tour of Turkey for a bit today, from approx 25km out.. now bear in mind that I am in hospital absolutely bored as hell (to the point where I'm looking forward to watching 6 hours of Amstel on Sunday). I turned Turkey off because it was literally two blokes riding down 3 lanes of motorway who had absolutely no interest in riding with one another. What a weak race0

T'was on Eurosport a bit early.
Lovely course, some nice panache shown, but racing nous, not so much.
Turkey earlier was more like an episode of Ski Sunday, but the battle to decide the GC went ahead.
Felix Großschartner looks to have sewn up the Gc with his win, unless Valerio Conti can find 20 seconds riding around Istanbul.
Remco Evenepoel with much youthful enthusiasm, but none of the race craft that comes with experience looks likely to miss the podium by a single spot."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Gaudin's team mates doing a good job of disrupting the chase0
-
Loving the new Team Direct Energie kit, especially the white helmet/glasses combo that Gaudin is rocking. Connor Swift giving the stripes a good show too0
-
I should correct what I said earlier. Gaudin second last year, behind the very in form at the time, Christophe Laporte."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Assuming these time gaps are right they're going to get caught very soon
And yes they're pretty much together with the chasers now.
Only 23s back to the peloton such as it is0 -
FDJ working to close the gap but the group is working well up ahead, they've only knocked a handful of seconds off. Cat and mouse at the moment.0
-
Gaudin puncture - got a wheel from a teammate but hes out of it now. All to play for cos Total were driving that break.0

That was Thomas Boudat.
Marc Sarreau being there isn't going to make group cooperation easy."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Victory for Vendrame from team walking billboard (androni). Christ, that kit...0

Vinjebo 3rd after being out front for most of the day. Impressive."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Sarreau marked himself out as the one to watch in those last couple of KMs, did far too much alongside Delage. Really nice little well timed move to win it0
-
Was a decent race - lots of action right to the end. Worth the watch.0
