Ten mins before I start on my own race so here's somewhere to post up anything interesting about what should be another classic sprint stage, probably with less wind than yesterday although with a few tricky changes of direction as the course pops inland or onto narrow roads.

There is the distinct possibility that it might be quite a dull stage although it does have the slight difference of Danish scenery...
Prediction - bit of a snoozefest, one to watch the last 10km only for.
Other prediction - action packed with wind, crashes and a surprise breakaway winner.
one to watch the last 10km only for.
One to watch the ITV highlights only...unless your 2nd prediction happens 😂
looking like a block headwind (14mph gusting to 30) all the way bar the last 10km 🙁
I will be watching the coverage as it goes past my in-laws house. I know the roads in the last 50km pretty well, as above it's likely to be a boring stage.
Good luck with the race crazy-legs.
Holy moly the crowds are enormous!
hint of echelons though it's too far out.
I wonder if Cav would have been dislodged from the train that easily 800m out? That looked really poor from Quickstep.
Lol at Sagan pointing at Van Aert and calling him a motherf****r
My bad - he was saying it to Groenewegen
It was funny though.
What caused it?
No I think it WAS aimed at Van Aert. Sagan felt he was blocked against the barriers.
Just watching the highlights on ITV4, can't say it's a day I'm disappointed to have to have missed although Magnus Cort seemed to enjoy his day out! 😅
I liked the little Boardman section on UCI rules, that was quite entertaining.
Weird finish, none of the commentators could tell who Sagan was pointing at but I think afterwards there were definitely words seen or heard between him and WvA?
I saw a headline (article behind paywall) that suggested Jakobson (or Ewan perhaps) was unhappy with Sagan AND WvA?
