Paris - Nice 2018

Two stages into the 8 stage race.

Stage 1 One notable withdrawal and a photo finish.
Stage 2 Another sprint finish with Alaphilippe showing his early interest in GC by mopping up intermediate bonus seconds.

Anyone else watching?

It is usually three or four days after a tour starts that I finally get around to watching. So your highlights of the stages might motivate me to get started on Stage 1 tonight.

No spoilers please............

It is one of the few races carried by Sportsnet in Canada, delayed a few hours. It has been exciting and was worth watching.

It might have been the Tirreno Adriatico which was on stage 4 on Saturday and ends today with a TT. It was being shown live on Eurosport with P-N coverage delayed till TA stage finish.

It's been a great race to watch. There are a couple full stages on YouTube. It's got a lot of the big name guys in it. Stage 5 commentary did have a Paris - Nice spoiler for me though.

Any one know of any video of the screw up around 15 km on Stage 6? Kind of turned the whole thing into a bike race.
