We don't really have rules yet as far as I know. I think that keeping spoilers out of thread titles seems sensible, but I think otherwise better to have good comments than worry too much about spoilers.
PREDICTION: Another sizable breakaway to take the win. Roglic to take time on all his rivals.
Great to see a surprise winner!
Good win for Kuss, and lovely to see Lenny Martinez get the Red Jersey. With a 2:30 lead over the big favourites, I could see him keeping it quite late in the race. It certainly sets him up really well for a good overall result.
Evenepoel held it together well after being dropped and is still marginally ahead of Vingegaard and Roglic. I was surprised by how split up the GC contenders were, basically in ones and twos.
INEOS look out of contention for now, Thomas and Arensman both shipping time.
Go for it. I'm aware of https://github.com/baronet2/FirstCyclingAPI, https://github.com/josselingirault/procyclingstats.com-webscraper/, https://github.com/themm1/procyclingstats that might help.
A good first step might be to get a bot that posts scheduled posts, even if all the data that goes into the posts is manually entered (e.g. all stages in one go at the start of the race).
After two days for the sprinter (sic), this should be a day with gaps between the GC contenders, with maybe a breakaway winning.
And it's up. Poor Lorenzo Milesi. Race leader one day, 171st the next.
Alas this is generated the old fashioned way.
Really sad for Oscar Onley DNF.
Hopefully eventually they'll work out the GC standings.
I probably have the skills, but not sure I have the time. I'll see what I can do if no-one gets there first.
I'm a bit wary that too many auto-gen'd threads that don't get engaged with would be bad. Maybe starting with one thread per stage for grand tours and one per race for other World Tour races.
One surprising stat of the Tour is that 7 of the top 8 on GC won a stage. Only Simon Yates (with two second places) failed to win one.
There are no bonus seconds on offer, so that makes the decision easier.
Other than that, your assessment seems pretty accurate.
