Non sprinters sprinting for position is exciting but it sure could be dangerous! I don't want to see a pile-on crash of those top guys who are on same time...

Stage 5 - NOTE this has a spoiler of the E3 result in the first ten seconds so if you dont know that result, skip to about 30 seconds to a minute in, or watch that first

Vc 12-5

High quality racing there, reminds me of 6-day racing. Those riders were really going, and who said Leipheimer was a wheelsucker?
Chasing a group like that, both the breakaway and the chasers showed much class. Quality ride, quality riders.

Uran close to another stage win, was there a crash after the finish line or was the winner just having a rest?

Swiss 1-2 in the GC, well I never! :D

That was an exciting finish too, group of 6 off the front for last 20km never getting more than 20 seconds and only being caught in last 500m. Albasini did a lot of work as well, thought he showed great intelligence when he didn't try to ride himself too far into the red chasing Levi.

First of I need to say that that was a great stage and very exciting right up to the very end. Great to see Uran win this, hope he really has a resurgence this year. Also, is it just me or is Gesink looking pretty lousy at the moment?

The last thing this race needed was a change in parcours and confusion  :(

I propose that the Volta Catalunya be re-named the Magical Mystery Tour

What's the parcours? Who's still riding? What's the GC situation? Will there be a broadcast?

IT IS A MYSTERY


Coverage will be delayed by womens tennis or banger racing or bull riding or whatever - that we do know already.        Well probably a good chance it will be.

Trying to fathom what the hell is happening is part of the fun I suppose,  fans getting trolled by race organisers now.

Very funny, sir. ;D

And possibly not far off the mark. ;)
Actually completely wrong.
It has nothing at all to do with Kruijswijk who has no chance of winning anyway since both Cherel and especially Carrara were much stronger in the previous mt stages so he would have never taken the GC.

I genuinely think it's unfair they annuled the time gaps. And if most directeurs sportif and riders in the race agree... then they must all be Kruijswijk fans right?  :fp
Don't give me this shortsighted bullsh*t.

Out of curiosity the car that Julian Dean had an unfortunate meeting with, anyone know who is liable for the damage in a situation like this?

Hope Dean can make the end of season races at least.

It comes down to the negotiations of the various insurers. The race is insured and the rider himself. So, assuming the car was legally parked etc, one or both of the latter parties will pay. :)
