To a point it is.
This race has been scripted for a sprint finish.
Therefore only the sprinters are likely to win.
GB, Germany, Aus, USA, have good sprinters so it's in there best interests to make it a sprint.
Spain don't hence having 3 in the break.
It shouldn't be.How the f*** can it be 56 secs even with that crash!
As you saw earlier, they let a group get 6mins ahead without panicking. You need to watch more bike races to understand how it works
Whoever is responsible for the split times and tv captions should be shot, has been dire. The fact the commentators haven't got a clue is ridiculous
It shouldn't be.
The Germans should be ashamed of themselves.
Now you see it's precisely statements like that that make me not understand. Simplistic I know, but if GB are not going to win it, it's not the Germans fault, it is because they didn't ride fast enough!
