Surprised there wasn't one at the front the way Bouhanni was riding. Trying to fit through non-existant gaps and then veering the whole way across the road in the final 50m.rick james said:Crash at the back
That was because someone else tried to take his spot on his teammate's wheel. In that case it's only fair that Nacer shoves him away and protects his position.DFA123 said:Surprised there wasn't one at the front the way Bouhanni was riding.

Kinda, indeed. Cofidis lead-out is still weak and Bouhanni had to wrestle his way.luckyboy said:Finally Cofidis get it right, kinda
Agreed. It certainly wasn't all his fault, but still a bit surprising that no-one went down.Netserk said:That was because someone else tried to take his spot on his teammate's wheel.

To be fair, Pozzato took KOM point on the first climb as the first one from the bunch, so probably he did some pacing work already then. So it is quite an effort if he was still able to do some work also at the end of the stage. Plus Modolo is here without his usual lead-out duo Ferrari-Richeze, so there is no reason for him to be "pissed" if someone else offers sub-optimal lead-out.BigMac said:PozzatoIf I were Modolo I'd be pissed. Oliveira spends the stage pulling at the front ahead of the TTT, Serpa does a monster job bringing the Lampre train back to the front, when they where swallowed by Sky and Astana coming in full genius already inside the last 3k, Costa delivers them perfectly inside the last kilometer, and then Pozzato does a 10 second effort and leaves Modolo to the wolves, who had to content himself with the wheels of MTN. Not saying he would win, Nacer was very fast, but he would have been closer did Pozzato actually give a fly about anyone other than him. Really irritating to see.
Then what was? A 750m lead-out?BigMac said:His job was not to deliver Modolo to Eddy Boss' wheel.
Stay with him behind the MTN guys and then do a lead out.Flamin said:Then what was? A 750m lead-out?BigMac said:His job was not to deliver Modolo to Eddy Boss' wheel.![]()
No much info yet, some abrasions on his face and a painful wrist. he is getting examined by the team doctor.Jagartrott said:How's Kelderman? Was he hurt?
Big risk when the peloton is all over the road and other trains are coming from behind.BigMac said:Stay with him behind the MTN guys and then do a lead out.Flamin said:Then what was? A 750m lead-out?BigMac said:His job was not to deliver Modolo to Eddy Boss' wheel.![]()
