Stage VI finish

Did anyone else think the finishing 700 meters or so were pretty narrow
for what could have easily been a big bunch sprint?

I remember thinking that myself, esp when Hagen came around the rather
narrow corner. It did suit a small break staying away though.

Yeah, that looked scary.

I noticed that they changed the barriers after the last turn and
covered the feet of the barriers. The sloped faces are reminiscent of
Jersey barriers on a highway. It'd be way cool to see someone bank
off a barrier to get around someone for a win.

Bode Miller does that sort of thing.
