disc brake pad design ...not used to this length of intensive use? or were worn out too much before the race..hard to see if they are thinned out compared to rim brakes?

i am underwhelmed by modern bike tech on these over priced machines... multiple riders need pads
for the money these bikes should be lightweight aero and cobble compliant
inexcess of ten ffffking grand!

Gaps really not changing much. The peloton pulled back about 30" at one point but back to 2 minutes from the front group now as it seems to have been forever.
Still near 2:30 gap to 'peloton' with 100 kms to go. Gap just dropped towards 2:00 now as I type - pressure from the back or slowing at the front - maybe the former as team's 1st choices start to think about Arenberg etc? Already seems an epic race and only just past 1/2 way.
Lads if the brake pads run out at 110km why are you using disc brakes ffs
because disc brakes have not been tested this way before....failed the test

Probably the worst crash so far and caused by street furniture, not cobbles.
That looked nasty.

Nope not a thing can we see

I think the large chasse patate group will implode in the forest. The strongest will try to bridge, blowing out the deadwood.
Rumour has it, Ineos Grenadiers have a secret weapon!

Any talk of max tyre sizes being used, especially on rear, where aero matters less?
