[Tim Cahill]

Boot Gaviria out of the race tbh

 

[Valv.Piti]

Gaviria lmao

Can hardly see it on there either, who thought it was a good idea to have everyone's line be red?

[Samamba]

Throw Cimolai and Gaviria out of this race, wtf were those moves.

 

[sir fly]

Not sure Ewan's fully fit yet.

Nothing to take away from Demare.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Incredible.

If only Ewan's arms were 1-2cm longer...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Demare is like sprinting Pinot, he always goes really well in Italy. The strongest in the race

 

[Samamba]

Not sure Ewan's fully fit yet.

Or he's just not as fast as everyone seems to think. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost some of his speed due to the heavy climbing training past winter.

 

[Netserk]

Given that this is a different camera (from the other side of the road), which one of the two is the official one that decides the winner?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

FDJ again superb in the leadout they deserve great credit for th work they are doing in this Giro ditalia.

Would be interesting to hear what gaviria says about the stage

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Premature pessimism again and again.

I mean, Cimolai and Gaviria tried really hard to bring people down there. Am I too pessimistic? Maybe, but when it almost goes wrong twice, it's hardly baseless...

 

[RedheadDane]

Demare is like sprinting Pinot, he always goes really well in Italy. The strongest in the race

Two of France's (and FDJ's) biggest stars... prefer Italy.

I should probably mention that I don't actually know if Demare prefers Italy.

 

[carton]

Nice sprint by Demare. Showing he can beat the big boys mano-a-mano on his day.

Gaviria actually seemed to have some snap in his legs today. Too bad he decided to box himself out at the end, those petty paybacks are never worth it at this level.

 

[Zoophonic]

Wow that was a paper thin margin

 

[Ranagazoo]

FDJ have their old boy Cimolai to thank

It does not matter if the line is calibrated, you are either touching it or not

 

[Valv.Piti]

Tbh though, that was one of the best sprints I have ever seen. I liked all the drama and stuff going on. But yeah, didnt watch the rest of the stage obviously, but as a 10 minutes spectacle it was really good.

 

[Netserk]

It does not matter if the line is calibrated, you are either touching it or not

It depends on how well it is calibrated. If it didn't matter, the result should be clear from both of them (on the highest resolution available to the organisers).

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cees Bol the moral winner of the stage, Demare's win forever to be tainted by the rare double asterisk, one for all the deviations and the other because Masnada wasn't about to help with the leadout.

 

[WKA311]

FDJ again superb in the leadout they deserve great credit for th work they are doing in this Giro ditalia.

Would be interesting to hear what gaviria says about the stage

Especially Sinkeldam and Scotson are very impressive. Not sure Guarnieri will be in that leadout after this year tbh

 

[DaLong]

All the talk about sprint stages and yet another good sprint. I always enjoy these stages, relaxing doing work or stuff around the house, listen to the commentators discuss the riders, check out their bikes and kits, learn about some no-name in the 1 man breakaway, then a build up of tension in the last 10 km with teams jostling for position, and then the excitement if my guy wins or frustration that QS-AV wins yet another one.

 

[DaLong]

Also, man that MvdP is really poor at sprinting - 100th in the stage! Send this guy back to conti levels please.

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah GTs are getting too hard.

This was 3 hours into the stage.

 

[Phillip O'Garner]

Because he lost Morkov in the train

That probably changed the dynamics of the sprint. Still might have waited another 20 - 30 metres.

 

[Mayomaniac]

FDJ again superb in the leadout they deserve great credit for th work they are doing in this Giro ditalia.

A few years ago Cipo actually said that the FDJ train was one of the few besides Quickstep where people actually know what they are doing?
