Wtf was that even. That was a literal field sprint. 6 screens in the whole report.
This was a hilly classic. Absolutely hilarious. This season has just been hilarious.
Edit: I hate to be overly critical because I know it is customary to thank the reporter, but this report wasn't very helpful.I know it was boring overall and so the 6 screens is kind of just a product of that, but with the only screens of the sprint front facing and no other angle, it was pretty impossible to judge where all but the first few riders were.
There really wasn't another screenshot worth taking in the report, not many positions changed in the sprint and nothing happened the whole race, sure maybe the sprint could've had an overhead shot, but you can see the whole top ten in the screenshots covering the sprint, so it's not like it's not enough info.
Thanks for the feedback though, I'll remember to use different angles in later races.

Sorry if I sounded rude, it was just a thought I had and as a team with nobody near the front it was something I noticed. Your reports throughout the year have been great (except when riders crash), so I get that the length is just based on the boring nature of the race. A few more angles would just be nice.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
I'm happy with two in the Top 10, but this was not a selective as I was hoping. Congrats to TMM and Yates, who obviously was very strong.
Thanks for the report trek, honestly, I am confused with the short report - there was honestly nothing more than 6 screens you could have taken?
Who did the work in the peleton? Did Yates attack, get caught and sprint or did take it all the way to the end? Were there any lead outs? One picture says that Dowsett and Klemme were right behind Yates as he attacked, but the image is them not even off the front with a gap...

The report pretty much explained most of that, it says that Dowsett and Klemme followed Yates, but they don't get away and peloton stays together, and you can tell pretty easily how the sprint played out by looking at the pictures and reading the report, just a mass sprint with every rider sprinting from their position - no set up. Aside from alternate angles as bball suggested, I guess there could've been mention of the chasers, but I didn't expect the finale to be so boring for most the race.
@bball: No problem, you didn't sound rude, I'm glad to have feedback and will try to improve on it, so thanks for that.
Why make a "boring" race longer than it needs to be? Dont see the bad thing with a slightly shorter report here and there, thank you for tour work trek!
Nice to see the continental racing picking up speed again
Congratz to the 3 big winners here as I see it, spilak, tmm and croatia. All hugely successfull and strenghten their app for PCT racing next season

A long way to go for us still contrary to the other 2 mentioned teams, but this result points in the right direction surely
Simon Yates, you beauty! Who needs an 80HL when you've got SP and ACC Robov holding to 8th helps as well. Very happy with that result, of course. Points and it adds to our attempt at winning 10 races for the Goal.
