Oh my god this @tourofnorway.bsky.social stage was absolutely crazy. As far as flat stages (with no cobbles/gravel) go, it can't get any better than that. Non stop action for most of the broadcast and a nail biter til the finish line.
I really hope you watched, cause if you didn't, you missed out.

In my opinion green and KOM classification should be reworked a bit to give them a clear identity as the sprint classification and the climby break-away classification, respectively. That is basically what they are seen as, but the point systems don't fully support that.

What this tells me more than anything is that one-weeks should put better planning into the KOM/sprint classifications. The reason for having additional classifications is to honor something other than GC in addition to it. If GC riders regularly hover them up accidentally, what’s even the point?
Since ProTour/WorldTour was invented in 2005.
