Hmmm, he might get relegated. I really hope he won't.

Don't you have ØØØØØ on your keyboard?

Yes, but this is an english discussion board

So? You can still use æøå.

Talk about being anal

Ewan looks really fast in this Tour. I was surprised he won when he didn't jump on Groenewegen right away and left a little more of a gap to close than he should have. And after that late crash. Impressive.

Ewan might get DQd....... the Total rider absolutely has a case!

He clashes into a a guy with a cellphone, not into Ewan?

The Total rider got hit by someone in the crowd.

They came together past the line.

Will be interesting what Bonifazio has to say

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Philipsen so much more agile than Kristoff. Takes 5 positions and 10 meters on Kristoff (who effectively loses his wheel) just in the last turn.

Re:

It's not that.

I thought it was the Bonifazio incident. I didn't see he hit a spectator.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Bonny could have gotten a nice result here. Idiot fans with their phones

That's three times this season that Ewan has come from behind Groenewegen in a sprint finish - Twice Groenewegen just held on and this time Ewan nailed it.

Didn't see the stage - is the GC unchanged?

The previous time the margin was about the same but in Groenewegen's favour.

Ciccone lost big time from a crash. The rest of GC the same.

Rossetto is mad at Aimé De Gendt for doing a Voeckler. Hahaha.

Polka dot time. Wonder who's done Giro-Tour best climber, same year

He did not look good after the crash.

Are Tour sprint stages this year and for the next several years of any value in term of stars quality of the protagonists? Regardless of the actual racing excitement, it feels so 'unimportant' as a show on its own, except for determining which GC contenders lose time in it.

 

[ppanther92]

What was Sunweb doing? I mean, Matthews showed that he lacks speed this year. But the 8th place from Bol would have certainly been possible. And he was 2nd in the Points Classification and neither won points in the intermediate sprint nor the final sprint today. Seems like a waste of opportunity. Sagan can always get ill/crash out...

Ewan nearly nailed Groenewegen in Paris Nice - Think that Groenewegen is a touch off this TDF.

 

[HelloDolly]

Matthew seemed to imply the team did notwant him to go for green jersey and do a stage win instead ???

That is insane ....only half way through and Sagan could not make it over the mountains....quite frankly Sagan looks like he couldnt care less

Sunweb didnt want any of their riders to go for GC or Green


Problem with stages that unless you are the top sprinter or TTer none are locked down

 

[tobydawq]

Bonifazio was clipped by Ewan just before he hit the phone. But he didn't complain too much after and said it was okay (but his English was really bad so it was difficult to really know what he meant).

He kept looking down but I didn't see any wounds on his legs maybe he banged his knee ?

 

[spalco]

The guy with the phone is a complete idiot. I hope his phone was smashed into 1000 pieces by the peloton.
