Ok, so we're not going to create a race thread for ALL races this year, especially since we're only about 10 people reading here :)

This thread is available for you to write about all the races which don't have a race thread.

On the last stage – the usual circuit for sprinters in Athens, sprinters didn't win, for one big guy managed to do the 1-mile stunt. I thought he was coming to the peloton's front to pull it, but he gradually crushed the pullers/launchers who were in his wheel. When I saw (at 500 m?) that it was Pozzovivo🇮🇹 who had to lead the chase for the peloton for all regular sprinters teammates were already agonising, I knew this Mads Andersen (🇩🇰 Swatt Club, a Conti team) would make it 😃 I suppose it is his first victory at professional level, because he seems to mostly ride class 2 and below.
