Cort was a first-mover. Nowadays, most young guys have a moustache.

I need to stay away from Denmark.

 

[RedheadDane]

I need to stay away from Denmark.

I agree!












For different, kidnapping-related reasons.

According to PCS there are boniseconds??? Is this correct? There weren't in the past.

yeah, it's correct, according to the regulations available on the race website.

Bonus seconds were abolished after 2017, so the last five editions had none. No idea why they decided to change it again.

Absolute insane finish here from Cort. He was no where with 500 to go

Ineos tactics in the final were plain stupid - You have seven riders for the final climb into a headwind - It's pointless pacing when you get cover in headwind - Commonsense is to fire a rider up the road with 5kms to go and make other teams work - If brought back then rinse and repeat until the last 1.5kms.

Great finish from Cort, Van Wilder did everything right except celebrating too early.

The way things stand, I consider Foss to be the favourite for the overall. He is a great time trialist (World Champion) and should be able to defend himself better in the Malhão climb than Ganna or Küng.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Van Wilder did everything right

He did swerve quite a bit.

 

[Wvv]

When has pidcok ever won a sprint of more than 3 guys? Overrated rider should be a gregario here

I think you're confused about the CX-rider you usually diss.

 

[Lequack]

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He did swerve quite a bit.

He was trying to close the door on Costa. Which is also why he wasn't paying attention to or expecting Cort.

 

[Netserk]

Let's be clear, not only is Cort's moustache in itself perfect, he wears it well.

Ineos has to be the most tactically incompetent team in cycling. What are they doing ? Maybe there are behind the scene financial fair play rules that meant they had to do every other teams work for a stage? Because they pull for no reason at all, just to rider for a sprint with their slow riders.

Honestly van Wilder moment wasn't the most embarrassing thing in that stage, it was ineos.

Having the muscle and not using it, doesn't allow you to draw an extra card on your next turn. They imposed their preferred rhythm on the race and deterred attacks, so Ganna is now still in the picture and will likely take yellow after the ITT. They are also the team with most riders up in the GC, which will allow them to play their cards on the road to Malhão.

 

[Netserk]

The Fóia MTF is such a dud. Always windy, always boring. The stage was more selective when it finished in Monchique.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big move, foss, ganna, pidcock, costa, cort, madouas all gone and this will be hard to bring back

 

[RedheadDane]

"Sorry, guys. I'm gonna need some bonus seconds. And while we're at it, let's just attack now."

 

[Tim Cahill]

23 seconds taken in short order, Quickstep chasing, what a move.

 

[postmanhat]

Looks like a lot less than a 25 second gap ?

 

[Faserr]

Is this the Ineos whining contest?

 

[Samamba]

I missed it, what happened here? How did they get away?

 

[DNP-Old]

I missed it, what happened here? How did they get away?

Supersprint for the boni at 20k from the line.

 

[carolina]

Wow! Cort again!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Incredible victory Magnus Cort!!!

You can hear the commentators clapping.

 

[Samamba]

INSANE!!!!!

 

[Salvarani]

Cort!

Incredible win. What a sprint.

 

[Ricco']

What. is. this.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well... the the peloton caught them, well... almost... kinda.
Nobody caught Cort.

Thomas Bay: Why does he always win in such crazy ways?
