Haven't got a clue.
Also, the course tomorrow (Petit Boucle) has the first sprint 0.6km in. Is that neutralised then?

The way it’s worded on the webpage it seems they’re at least partly relying on self policing from the peloton. They’re requesting screenshots from participants as evidence of jumping the gun. So I guess the trick is early into the pen and do enough to stay near the big blob at the front.
It reminds me a little of the walking races we used to have to join the school dinner queue. Openly running meant being sent to the back. But not trying as hard as possible to be close to the front also felt unacceptable. Not sure what we were in such a hurry for now…

From the RuleZ...
Looks like you can report people shooting off the front. A screenshot is all you need. Whether people will do it or think it's petty though is another matter. Unless 1st km is up a hill, setting it in W/kg isn't all that bright anyway tbh.

I actually did the unthinkable and read the rules (attached). KMZ info on page 8.

Wrote to race control about the KMZ being within the sprint for some stages. Got a response in 3 minutes. They will address it.
Also, I'm now thinking DT Swiss 62s (non-disc) for the stage today. It's 8km of flat/rolling, 5km of very draftable climb, 10km of proper climbing. Based on that I think I'm going for good all-rounders and these look solid.

We’re supposed to add some itinitials after our names right? But sitting in the pen it doesn’t look like anyones bothering

They're asking for it but it's not mandatory. Basically just there so people can see who they're chasing - a competitor within their cat or someone above.
For you, it would be [GHT]

If you put in the abbreviation for the highest available group then perhaps everyone below that cat will be more inclined to let you go. Just saying…
I need to be careful with the zip ... don't want to get anything caught in it 😳
