What a humdinger, not for the result I expected.

So pleased for the winner and runner up

They had PD4.1 switched on

come on Cav

I was worried he wouldn't make the cut. That was a harsh first stage, and tomorrow looks just as cruel for the sprinters

I'm assuming everyone has seen the race now as it's 21:47 in the evening?

It looked certain they would easily get to the finish, then swung the other way. What a close finish at the end.

Perfect start to the Tour though. An exciting finish where it wasn't clear who would win. Bit better than a boring iTT.

Absolutely, love it when a breakaway gets a close win. I guess everyone interested has updated themselves, we are safe to chat about the result.

Pleased for Bardet, having never had never worn the yellow jersey before.

His young team mate, rode magnificently to support Bardet's ambition, and rightly deserved the finish line acknowledgement from Bardet

Today is gravel, what fun

I've always been a fan of Bardet. So chuffed he gets to wear yellow on his last tour. Seems very fitting for a rider who always seems to give 100%. He definitely owes his team mate a glass of bubbly

GC action already! Jv and remco looking well. Seemed like a stage that suited roglic so hope he has stay in it, even if time differences are minimal at this stage

French are jumping with excitement best start in results for 50yrs or something like that

'bout time they woke up

Maybe they should do more stages in Italy then - turns out the problem for French riders in the Tour de France, is the French bit of it!

I switched to highlights and thought, I recognise those buildings. Glad the pros are in as much pain as me when I go up there, although they are going a smidge faster

I know it doesn't seem to come to anything, but did you report this rider? I seem to remember one of the big race events, they said they would DQ any rider found to be saw-toothing. Zwift has a report rider on their app. I've done it couple of times for riders who are using some sort of fixed power output or have faulty turbo which allows rider to hit maximum limit.

This was my event 3 weeks ago rider off the front, fixed 400W goading the others. I and other reported him

The guy was Edoardo ED. This race event was removed from his results, he did a few more events after, winning by several minutes over everyone else.

Since then, he has done no events for more than 30 days- presumably banned or left Zwift due to complaints

Here is a screenshot of an event, where his power just sat at 400W for most of the event, then later varied

No, I don't actually know how to and it was only a small race so I'm not actually that bothered. I would definitley look into it more and look to report him if it was a ZRL race or something though
