Did anyone watch the crono from Bergen?

I've just seen the result....

David Lappartient elected UCI President, beats Cookson by 37 votes to 8.

The removal of the  former president of British Cycling during the time that bullying and discrimination took place, who was also on the supervisory board of Team Sky’s holding company Tour Racing Limited at the time Wiggins was getting Kenacort tue's for bogus reasons...what do you think. ;D

I doubt we'll see many changes. If he makes more effort than Cookson did with regards to the Women's Tour and the OOC use of corticos....that'll be a massive plus....not that Cookson did anything in regards to either issue...in fact the only time I recall Cookson getting involved in the Women's racing was to upbraid a team over their kit....saying that said kit was unacceptable by any standards of decency.....but then as we know he didn't have a problem with the bullying and discrimination of young women at BC that took place when he was the head of that organisation.

I'll be amazed if any rider is caught using a motor though...he's still a part of cycling's hierarchy.

Question....what is the point of sitting in a small break of 3-4 riders just 10 seconds ahead of everyone else for most of the race? Is it a way to discourage attacks?

With the depth in the Dutch team I think there's no point at all. Someone is going to have to attack, but if they do you know there'll be a Dutch rider latching on. This is the Dutch team's race to lose.
