[The Hitch]

[l.Harm]

Goss got his tactics right.


Finish line changed!!

 

[spalco]

[the sceptic]

[JimPanzen]

New finish 3k to go

 

[Afrank]

Surely they can just drive the bus out of there? who cares if something breaks

Seriously, just floor it.

 

[Red Rick]

[TourOfSardinia]

L'autobus came first today!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

rofl, embarrasing this aussies

 

[The Hitch]

So that last corner which was going to cause carnage, not there no more. Race totally different than it would have been.

 

[Broth3r]

Why? Were you expecting more action? It's a sprint stage, all the action is going to be in the final km's.

...not make it a flat stage?

There should never be such a thing as a "sprint stage". There should be simply good, well-built stages, and if sprinters can get to the finish in the lead group, great for them. But building stages like this just because they can barely handle a 4th cat? No. This is the result.

 

[Kopuliak]

wow, this is unbelievable fail of organizers ....

 

[spalco]

Should be chaos, nobody sure when to go for it in the sprint.

 

[Samson777]

Haha..

Must suck for the crowd tough.. Imagine if you have been waiting all day at the finish line.. Must really suck..

 

[luckyboy]

Well at least something happened on this stage

What a farce

 

[T-Nielsen]

At 3 km to go because they have a "finishline" in order to handle the 3 km rule I guess.

 

[Kwibus]

Apparently there is a roundabout right after the 3km mark....

 

[nickel999]

Happy Anniversary to le tour lol !

 

[xrayvision]

Rofl, sh i t truly happens, fail from the organizers and a single aussie. 198 riders know the line is moved? lool nope

 

[Dutchsmurf]

They better make a decision fast.

 

[Bavarianrider]

France, why am i not suprised

 

[cocteau_ireland]

To use a football term, orica have parked the bus
