Sounds like GC times will be taken before the Montmartre laps?

GC taken as fixed which I think is bs

Yep

 

[mididoctors]

What if you have a mech

It's strange that no one is tipping Remco today. He won the Olympics after all.

Agreed, should be a race to the finish line

 

[phreak]

Flat tire for Ineos almost straight away. Sums up their Tour.

One last practical joke letting Veistroffer off the front on his own

Stage neutralised for the last 41kms.

This is before the three times around the Montmartre loop.
I've argued in favour of neutralisations for proper sprint stages (as we saw in Milan) if the GC riders genuinely have nothing to do with the race and they should be out of the way of the sprint teams. But this is some bullshit - they're trying to get Pog to go for the stage win

"Hey! Bapti... Woah there big boy, you don't even know what I'm about to say. .... Ok, ok, good guess, but you couldn't have been sure. ... What do you mean you banked on it? ... How much? ... €10,000! Well you'll be rich now then... €10?! ... 1000 to 1 on? P****** de m****! Anyway, get out there and show them all what we at Lotto Intermarché are all about! What do you mean, pointless wastes of energy? Any more of your cheek and I'll ship you off to Picnic PostNL. See, it wasn't that hard, was it. Off you pop"

Where did you see this? Was it something announced on the TV feed? I'm watching on S4C and don't speak Cymraeg.

Does del Toro lose time if he doesn't regain the group by the time of the cut off?

On S4C too, it was "announced" by an excerpt of Bahrain Victorious race radio, with their DS telling their riders 🤷‍♂️

On Danish TV and on the official website
