    Looks like cars were cleared to go through as gap over 1 minute, and DQS car wiped out some riders.

    WTF were the riders up to there? It was quite clear the cars were coming through.

    Riders zoned out on the limit

    Finishing line is not the best spot to send team cars through

    Racing the 20 k to go cut off?

    Need more than a minute lead going into the muur if they're gonna survive.

    Remco dropped again. Peloton closing down. Going to be a good finish.

    Absolutely, seen a stat that Turner has finished every race this season, with them all being World tour or Pro level races. Great for a neo pro

    Sheffield looks so strong, that cobbled climb looked savage. Some real good racing here.
