Re: Re:

Purito lost 31 seconds.

I think that costs him 2 of 3 places 😱
Edit: 3 so if this is true he is now 10th 🙁

3km rule?

Only counts if there was a crash or a mechanical

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagans best Champs Elysees so far. Pity that he lost Greipels wheel for a small moment. He could beat him.

 

[Poursuivant]

Please tell me quintana was also behind and lost his podium

He never lost his podium, finished in front group with Yates

 

[ILovecycling]

What an amazing and deseved by Greipel!
Sagan came close but no cigar

 

[trucido]

To sprint like that after pretty much a 80km TT over a Cat 2 and Cat 1 yesterday at the end of a GT is something else.....

The Barb!

It's Hinault in his khakis. :razz:

Congrats Gorilla.

 

[trucido]

lol the green jersey podium girl pushed Majka out the way and gave him a bruise on his arm.

Plenty of colours behind the Iron curtain.

Is this true with Purito? How? Meintjes now 7th and the "Haimar Ninja Zubeldia" prize.

National anthem of Kenya, oh wait!

 

[glassmoon]

Purito back on 7th place?

 

[Arredondo]

Purito remains 7th!! Times have been revised!

Re: Re:

There was no crash.

There was a crash inside 3 km, but it was not on screen. Caused splits. Took out Lotto-Jumbo

 

[Poursuivant]

Froome emotional there.

Glad Purito keeps 7th.

 

[Laggard]

And again NBC skips 90% of the awards and cuts to nascar. No team, polka dot, young rider or stage winner presentation.

 

[deValtos]

Overall nice speech by Frooooome though.

Very hard to say who was affected and who wasn't..

Good to see lantern rouge Sam Bennett with a top 10 finish after what must have been a pretty torrid three weeks after his early prang

 

[PremierAndrew]

Well I'm a Purito fan and these time bonuses are complete bs. Absolutely no reason for GC to be neutralised today

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

There was a crash just visible on screen, but that was when front of race was at about 3.2km, so place of crash a bit more away.

But commissaires decided this wasn't really part of the race, even decided that there was less than a second in front of the Sky formation dancing squad.

It was with 3.3 km to go. 😱 😱

 

[hrotha]

Why not neutralize the last stage entirely. Or all flat stages. Or the whole Tour.

Anyway, nice to see Greipel winning.

 

[Samamba]

I like Purito and he deserves the 7th place after he showed some balls yesterday, but this is a *** decision. The crash with the Lotto Jumbo guy (Roosen?) was at 3.2km, so not inside the 3km. You can't just change the rules everyday. Why not give Porte his 2 minutes back if you're giving everyone time bonuses?

Anyway, glad that Greipel took the win, his GT streak still stands.

 

[Red Rick]

What did they do now?

 

[Red Rick]

Aso seems to be run by edgy teens, rules are there to break

Re:

Initially included the clear gaps which dropped Purito 31 secs and three places; then decided to neutralise it. I don't want to see Purito lose places but it seemed a bit generous tbh.
