There is a free streaming replay of the last 80k of today's race on the NBC Sports app and probably on Peacock also. Enjoy! Also Happy Easter to all.

I realise it's a serious logistical challenge but they should really do a better job of controlling spectators being so close to the course. Maybe by enforcing fines more like at the TdF last year, especially for those that cause crashes. Sofa king annoying even to watch, I can't imagine what it's like to ride with all those people crowding the course.

Policing the crowds at races has always been a problem and it's really an impossible task given the length of the courses. It sucks when a spectator affects the outcome of the race as happened at P-R, but at least that incident wasn't as egregious as many we've seen. I agree that fines are warranted, but in the heat of the moment, I wonder if they really provide any deterrence.

They could make the fines equal to the first-place prize money, but then you'd have riders looking for spectators to tangle with so they can get a nice pay day. ;-)

IMO, they should be arresting anyone with flares and smoke bombs, as those create all kinds of hazards and the perpetrators are easy to spot.

FWIW, I was able to watch the SBS coverage of both races using Express VPN and their Melbourne, Australia server. They also have full replays available on-demand.
