    Viviani needs to think about winning instead of following who thinks is fastest in the wheels...

    Was Ewan beaten by his lead out man?

    Ben O'Connor's ride today. No actual power file yet.

    His heart rate basically goes nowhere for the first 140km, then the last 8km it's up over 190bpm

    Did anyone see that TdG had the profile taped to his bars today?

    Ben O'Connor from last year's stage 13. Pretty much flat for 120km, average speed 44kmh, average power 152W. Plenty of short accelerations but nothing terrible.

    Then the bursts start getting more often and a lot more intense.
    The first ~110km looks manageable (bearing in mind they had already done 12 stages before this, mind). But from then on you can see his heart rate and average power go up quite a lot... His average power from 120km to the finish is 264W - which is slightly more than my threshold and for more than an hour (1hr15), so I would die even without any accelerations.


    I reckon with s bit of luck and panting you would still make the cut

    I did a race in France once, a big regional event, pan flat but windy . I knew it was going to be an interesting start when there was a fight for positions in the neutralised part before we,d left town. Flag dropped to 35 mph and a single line in 1 nanosecond. The bloke in front of me punctured and I slowed and had to go round. I couldn’t close the 30 feet or so. total in the red then gone. 10mins. A total WTAF experience.

    Ryan Gibbons strava for yesterday. Average power 135W for the first 135km, then a bit more, then average 400W for the last 7 km. He would have been involved in the sprint leadout.
