Yeah that potentially early sprint through Marina Sprint reverse - and whether it will actually count or not - is confusing isn't it?

I hope they'll start uploading/refreshing results in a few hours - we should see what's up then.

I've emailed race control to try and get clarification.

What's further confusing is on Zwiftpower there is a green "S" for sprint marked on the course profile right near the start which would be that early Marina Sprint Reverse I assume, but no "S" marked for the Marina Sprint just near the finish (which is definitely on the course as you can see it on Strava for those who've raced) - BUT in the primes on ZP there's a "Marina Sprint" listed but no "Marina Sprint Reverse"

Good thinking

The website now says they will start loading results at around 2pm so before pm races. Fingers crossed there's some clarity by then.

FYI (all very confusing but kudos to them for looking into it as soon as I queried and getting back so quickly)

Well, that's a clear answer at least. Still, better not be at the very back at 600m in case people do get confused and cause splits.

@berty bassett, @bridgy don't see you signed up? Not taking a break after just 2 stages, are you?

Good, good. Always nice to have those pins on the map gradually drift away

Hi @bridgy

It may all be clear now, but just in case I raced this morning, so sprint primes and KoM as follows.

Marina Sprint Reverse is NOT a sprint prime. We raced it as a prime, as the update ruling it out wasn’t published until stage 2.

Sprint primes are Pave Reverse, Ballon, Pave and Marina Sprint - Marina Sprint is part of the sprint to the finishing line.

KoM primes are Aqueduct and Aqueduct Reverse.

Petit KoM reverse is NOT a KoM prime. It just hurts a bit and is there to annoy us!

Thanks a lot @Del C I think I'd just about got there with all that but very grateful for the clarification

Haven't read too much on this series tbh but going to try for 1930. So you get to pick wheels? Anyone any thoughts for this course? Aero?

All I can say is sorry - poor race craft
Kept with blob on first sprint then didn’t realise there was something almost straight after and the groups split so that was me done. Legs wouldn’t do anything else

Good luck all doing it now - didn’t like that one ☹️

I got very excited seeing you within 20m almost at the top of Petit. You can't win them all mate.
