Kind of a bizarre 'event'. Like, why did I pay to listen to a marketing proposal?
Does anyone know if the race still on tomorrow with all the rain? (serious question)
And if so, will Sky pull out one by one as they find the rain a little oppressive? (not quite so serious
I watched it on the TV.... The end was professional wrestling at its best!

It's all in the name "Exhibition Race" - presented by......... rigged post tour crits have been around for years - it's to give the fans something to see, although this one was a bit too rigged.
Normally they would have a local hero or domestic rider make a break for it whom then would be chased down and caught before the line - but Froome out riding Segan on a flat course whom didn't even bother to get out of his saddle in the point sprints ....come on!
I can't see the point of it. If it's just so the fans can see the riders, then get the riders to parade round on a bus. As a martial artist I think the fake wrestling is ridiculous, and as a cyclist this feels exactly the same. Real cycling fans would rather see a race.When I saw Froome, Sagan and Costa together in front on the last lap, I thought it was a bit overboard. But when I saw Froome a few minutes later alone with Sagan and Costa a few seconds behind, I just couldn't believe it. Ridiculous! I don't think this kind of script would work in Europe.

The post-race interview was hilarious! I wondered what he'd put in his water bottle!The highlight was Shinichi Fukushima... He was having a blast!
Here`s my article. They didn`t use the pics I sent unfortunately.
