The stage WILL go ahead today, but will be shortened, with a new race start. The riders will be bussed to the new start after the neutral roll out. All the details on the Breakaway in 5.

Do we do so to prove we know who they used to be, or are we to infer that they are operating in some sort of disguise? Or is it to say 'I didn't like Sky and I don't like the team now, even though the name has changed'?
I understand why stages are being shortened and neutralised, along with rider wellbeing and all that but do you think that, in a few decades' time, fans will recall and journalists will write stories about "Remember that time when all the riders hopped into their team buses..."https://pezcyclingnews.com/latestnews/gavia-1988-andy-hampstens-epic-stage/https://capovelo.com/remembering-bernard-hinaults-1980-liege-bastogne-liege-victory/
Wonders what the chances of any GC action today is...
I'm looking forward to the stage into Switzerland over the Grand Saint Bernard pass as I drove it in my campervan with my smalls about 5 or 6 years ago.

Hmm, no highlights on DMAX tonight it seems.

Everyone in the pink jersey seems to want to give it away apart from end of stage 20
