procycling

BTW, tomorrow it may be more interesting to follow the Dunkerque classique: https://www.4joursdedunkerque.com/ledition/ (edit: now that I look at the profile again, the climbs are rather small, and more worryingly the last one is 30 km away from the line, so unless there is some very bad weather or strong wind, it will also end as a bunch sprint 😢).

That’s the one-day race.

So, nobody wanted to race here either, except Unibet. 3 guys went on top of the last climb, but the Picnic rider never relayed, and the Ineos and the Visma riders were radioed back too after a while. In the end, Visma's first man is 25^th^, and Ineos' first man is 37^th^ (and Picnic's one is 7^th^, he might gain one place as he was compressed by Girmay in the last metres, but...). Well done, directors...

Nice crash on a bus lane located in the middle of the road and elevated by just one inch or so compared to regular lanes: invisible after a turn, especially for any rider which wasn't directly in front...
