You mean Other Races 2019 or a TDU thread? 
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Well, General Race Results/Discussion means the same thing as Other Races. I figured the TDU didn't really justify a thread of it's own seeing as it's a glorified winter-sun training race to everyone except the Aussies.
I can change the name of the tread if people would prefer?

I think it’s an appropriate name considering there haven’t been much single race topics apart from Grand Tours or major Classics. Plus, it’s the same.
Interesting results, the year of Walscheid has begun! |

I think that would definitely bring some clarity to the purpose of the thread, to some.
Also, I'd be willing to post regular updates on smaller race results once I'm past the busy times I'm in now, kinda lik Wilier used to do in the past.

I thought it was clear in 2018 he was one of the best sprinters in the world, if not the best

Yeah, agree. He's maybe not the fastest, but he is so good at jumping from wheel to wheel and launching at the right time.
He, Groenewegen and Gaviria are on a level above the rest in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see if Gaviria can win with UAE though. |

Yes I agree, overall best sprinter last year but somehow there were still many arguing that it was simply cause of his leadout and poor competition.

The way he won today is really embarrassing, looked like a pro against amateurs

Well Walscheid gave him a perfect leadout and Bauhaus had to leave out some pedals due to Vivianis sprint and the barriers. I don't think Viviani will be as dominant on the upcoming sprint days.

PADDY BEVIN YOU BEAUTY! First Kiwi stage/classic win at the world tour since Henderson at the Vuelta I think, and what a win  Could really have a shot at the GC with this form, today's bonuses and yesterday's as well at the intermediates.
Amazing sprint and against some of the best in the world - last year he showed his TT ability at the top level, and now his powerful hill/sprint skills. Absolutely love it - and hope it will cause a tsmoha comeback to the site

But Viviani was to the barriers and lost some pedals too, and none was able to take advantage of Walscheid though better positioned.

Man, Luis Leon Sanchez packs one heck of a punch for a 35 year old non-sprinter

He's been doing consistently well on TDU every year, punchy/fast rider on a course that suits him, good hopes for the next couple of days where a top-10 is possible. |

Is there any internet site broadcasting TDU?
And races not covered by Eurosport in general?
Thank you very much |

GCN is broadcasting, available in some countries (see in their FB page), tizcycling may have something aswell.. google "tour down under stage x livestream cyclingfans" and the site should be a major help, my tool to watch cyclocross

Eurosport is covering the TDU. They aren't showing it live because of the Aussie Open, but they have highlights on each day. At least they do here in the UK.
