It's going to be very fast"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Yeah you almost certainly could if you are a decent club rider, although this last bit might be too much!mididoctors said:

Whenever we see average power figures for these kind of stages they're surprisingly low. Obviously, this end bit is another matter. I think I would sh!t myself in a bunch this big at that speed, even if I had the power to hang on for a couple of minutes.0 -

I thought Ewan had that... But apparently Demare - Ewan - Cav0
-
think Demare just came through
0 -
He must have been fastest by a looong way.0
-
Ewan was certainly celebrating.
Cav went too early I think, he came off Morkov's wheel too soon from what I could tell.0 -
Yeah - Cav led it out, then Demare and Ewan come round him.
It's not even that clear Demare had it in the side on IMO, although he was coming up very, very fast.0 -
Ewan is one of the few riders who gets a benefit in Cav's wheel.0
-
Hmmm, that photo they showed is inconclusive......And again they take too long to show a replay. We'd have had 4-5 replays if that was horse racing.....All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0

Demare in so much trouble 200m from the line. Very impressive - and lucky that Girmay couldn't keep up when left in the wind and left a gap for him to take.0

Boy am I happy I had to miss this stage."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Gaviria's bike seemed to go out of his control again. No wonder he wasn't happy with it after yesterday's stage.1

Nobody explained to him that violence is not the solution?kingstongraham said:Gaviria's bike seemed to go out of his control again. No wonder he wasn't happy with it after yesterday's stage.

Dowsett averaged 155 watts for 5 hours today which is well within my capabilities. 213 normalised which would be a bit harder but still achievable. Obviously assuming I could ride in a peloton like that which I can't. The last 10-15km looks like it was pretty hard though, and the last 3 minutes was 460 watts which I certainly can't do! (my record seems to be 376).bobmcstuff said:

Dombrowski also 155 but lower normalised, 195, I guess he wasn't as involved in the leadout.
I think most competent riders could have sat in today for most of the day, except if there had been a fight for the break and definitely the run in to the finish.0 -

3rd. He went too early and led the other 2 out.rick_chasey said:Where was Cav?

I was starting to get worried Nibali would be retired before they finished that stage
Good sprint thoughWarning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
In actual speed cav caleb and demare are well matched"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

He was on the call today.bobmcstuff said:
I guess the trade off is whether you want those two on the Breakaway doing the analysis or commentating on the finale...ddraver said:
well exactly!bobmcstuff said:
McEwan was commentating earlier on, along with Blythe - they switched over to Hatch and Kelly so that Blythe could go get ready for the breakaway. Not sure if McEwan was on that too.ddraver said:For the first time English language Cycling Content has the best sprinter of the previous generation. Why are they not using him during the live coverage? I like the Blythe McEwan Sky Sports post-match analysis, but it's not the best use of his skillz.
Millar calling a sprint live is one of the best things in Sport to watch. Why are ES doing this to themselves?!
They must be reading! 😀We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
