Decent day for the French....Lenny in Dauphine and Gregoire with a win at Tour de Suisse with Kevin Vauquelin taking second place.
Joao Almeida gives a two minute advantage away in Stage 1 to BenO.....or is he just blagging it 🤣

There's a TdS thread

Quite a stacked field I believe. Noah Hobbs and Jørgen Nordhagen also riding

Ben Wiggins is there as well, but not as a leader. I'll also be keeping an eye out for Peter Øxenberg and Theodor Storm, who who are Ineos riders that currently ride for Lotto Kern-Haus PSD Bank (CT), the dev team Ineos partner with

Storm isn't riding this race.

A brilliant ride on stage 2 from Jonathan Vervenne of the Soudal QS dev team, going solo from a long way out and defying a spirited chase from the peloton, sees him move into pink.

Decent coverage with commentary in English from Jez Cox is available on French Eurosport 360. GC day today with a mountaintop finish.

Ah, PCS had him down to ride before

Looks like Storms next start is at Tour of Austria where he will be riding for Ineos in July

Widar takes S3 of the Giro Next Gen. He and Finn broke away from a small GC group with about 3 km to go. Widar sprinted away from Finn in the final 500 metres to take a fairly comfortable win. Withen Philipsen and Nordhagen finished 7th and 8th 36 seconds down. Good ride from Callum Thornley to finish 10th. I had always thought of him as a sprinter.

Merlier wins the T of Belgium sprint. Notable for a remarkable save from a potential disastrous crash by Philipsen

 

[Archie from BR]

Here's me hoping Adam Rafferty can have a good ITT at the Giro Next Gen today.

So Adam gets the win on stage 5, nice one son..

 

[Archie from BR]

d'Occitane stage looks good today, Tourmalet and Luz Ardiden to finish on

 

[rich p]

Not a deep field but a win over Ganna in a TT by Ethan Hayter is not to be sniffed at in Belgium

 

[DeadCalm]

The Giro Next Gen starting tomorrow, hopefully an interesting battle between Widar and Withen

Withen Philipsen 10th, 3 and a half minutes down on Tuckwell. Widar over 26 minutes down. Both somewhat overhyped or are there other explanations?

 

[Archie from BR]

Yeah, Widar was in a big crash today hence the time loss and will probably DNS tomorrow.
As for Withen, dunno what's up there.
Top 3 are nice and close going into the final stg, will be interesting day

New women’s race yesterday, the Copenhagen Sprint. Quite fun to watch with the inevitable Wiebes win! I think the men are on today.

Let's hope the organizer's can find a few more signalman today, 2 nasty crashes yesterday caused by street furniture.

It is indeed the men's race today. Just a ten minute leisurely bike ride from my home and I can't be arsed to go and see it because it's too bloody hot.

Bonus to that was getting to se the last few kms of Andorra Morabanc Clàssica, where my man Skjelmose took the win! Nice day for Danish cycling fans
