Make the calculation, drink!

Cheers hippy.

Finding it hard to spot any team tactics at the last Km. Camera just shows a few seconds with a jumble or riders lobbing themselves across the finish line. Gone are any details of who did the lead up, any sprinting or whatever it is they do at the end of a TT stage.

Finishing team tactics? Just spread out and give it some so you're not too far back, should you be 5th.

Garmin 4.5 seconds down on OPQS at the intermediate check.

Not much for the first sector. Hard to tell how much they're giving though.. if they're already on the limit..

Garmin 4.5 seconds down on OPQS at the intermediate check.

They just said the start is more technical.

I've not bothered to check the course.

There are 11 corners in total, 4 of those in the first 500 metres.

Given what Carlton just said, I would expect the first half of the course to be slowest. I'd get a map up but I'm cough working.
