Not sure Swift will be there at the finish but have read that he will be going for it. I’m hoping that Prades is now Movistar leader, he should be able to produce a good result in a race like this.

Points jersey is now up for grabs as Ackermann has pulled out, is he planning to do BinckBank ?
Bora have announced Ackermann has dropped out to allow him to do the European Championships Road Race.
Left some sprinters in and brought some punchier riders in.
Not sure leaving Gaviria in was a good idea, he could be working for Ulissi or even Consonni today. Possibly would have been better leaving Van Poppel in.

I would feel more comfortable if we didn’t score stage 4 at all and it is a pause for us all. Our game feels very unimportant today. On the technical side, there was racing in stage 19 of the TdF. GC changed for example. Today feels different.
If the stage is totally neutralised as planned, then no. The situation changed on stage 19 TdF as there was racing. Today, nothing should change. The situation will be as we were at the end of yesterday.

I don’t think anyone will put out of the race unless they are injured, the Lotto team will ride in honour of Bjorg. Same as Trek did with Wouter Weylandt at the Giro in 2011, neutral stage and then withdraw after that.
I’ve just seen the announcement, still taking in the news tbh, so that’s correct. No racing means no scoring, save your transfers for Wednesday.
I have no idea how they can even carry on…other than being made of tough stuff. Maybe quite a few will only be going through the motions, or, some may even pull out….it seems like he was a very popular figure in the peleton.
Tour de Pologne Stage 4 neutralized. Riders go from start to the finish and there will do only one lap. No racing. If Lotto – Soudal start tomorrow they will pass the finish line in front of the peleton.
Following the tragic death of Bjorg Lambrecht after his fall on stage 3, the 4th stage of the Tour de Pologne will be neutralized, organizers said. The riders will start as planned from Jaworzno, but they will only cross the final circuit once. If the Lotto Soudal team decides to stay in the race, its remaining six riders will cut the line first.
If as rumour has it, Stage 4 will be neutralised, that means the game will be aswell, correct?
I just wanted to check before making my changes for tomorrow.
I haven’t seen anything official anywhere but I saw someone say that tomorrows stage has been cancelled. Now seen tweets saying tomorrow is neutralised but still nothing official.
