No worries. If it comes down to it, the guy winning will be far more than just a sprinter.

Significantly shorter and much easier. There were sprinters 5 seconds behind him for god's sake.

A question? If Talansky wins, does he get a mention in the mainstream US sports press...I say no. It's questionable though, because then the Lance comparisons will really start in earnest.

Yeah I tune out whenever they mention most of the British riders. I get that they are directing their commentary to their audience, but it is completely annoying.

Me neither ahahahah. If it comes down to a mass sprint Valverde will take it. I feel that Valverde will take it, no matter what xD

250km.
The course was easier, but the length was about the same. I think he could manage it if the pace doesn't get slaughtered up the Cauberg the penultimate time.

240 actually. Today is 265
And even if they soft pedal all the way to the finish from now, it's already been a harder race than the entire Plouay day

I should've been more specific. I don't want EBH winning, because I don't want another ridiculous Norwegian invasion.
And yeah, it's always been there. Please ignore it though, since I've always hated it.

20 km is not big enough of a difference. And yes, I can add, but I just looked it up, and Plouay is 243.
