UAE continuing to ruin races even when they aren't winning them.... Is that Narvaez or Ivo Oliveira that just up at the front of the peloton, just completely stops pedalling like an absolute moron?

Are they not national teams competing? I thought the Netherlands riders were all wearing Orange?
I know gravel is a lot more individual than road, but still... It looked really, really bad - especially as a Netherlands 1-2-3 was otherwise a possibility - the chase group brought Silvia Persico with them who took bronze.

All in all it looked stereotypically Oranje

I tittered in an unseemly fashion at some wag's comment this morning:
"This is what happens when you put up a podium at a fun race".

I can't imagine what went through his head. Tosser!

Tour of Holland starting right now with a prologue TT.
Featuring rain, wet leaves, darkness and.... A BMX start gate!
Good luck to all, hope they stay upright!

Ouch

Jelle Boum of Diftar Continental Cyclingteam just overcooked a corner, slowed along th barrier, and then did a somersault. Up and riding and OK, but looked dramatic

The BMX start gate is a fabulous idea.
Interesting having it under the lights.
