Beautiful victory and comeback for Kron, after he turned down his TdF spot because he didn't feel prepared.

Edit: Also, is this an auto generated post? Regardless, , thank you!

Alas this is generated the old fashioned way.

Well, still, thanks 🙂 may you be inspired to do bot-stuff!

Really sad for Oscar Onley DNF.

Hopefully eventually they'll work out the GC standings.

And it's up. Poor Lorenzo Milesi. Race leader one day, 171st the next.

Slightly sad the GC lot called it. What's in it for the underdogs? I get that everyone wants to stay upright but I also have limited interest in seeing people racing for a top 10 with 0% chance of winning. If you're rog/jonas/remco sure play it safe. Bu then you should avcept the chancers taking time on you, backing yourself to take it back later. But when the patrons force everyone to cool it and the rest listen they're just throwing in the towel and admitting they aren't even trying to beat the top dogs.
