Girmay!

Is it time for someone to make a list of 50 sprinters better than Van Aert?

I can also do 50 classics riders.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Love all the random Eritrean lads that rock up whenever he races

 

[Salvarani]

Nice celebrations!

 

[Didinho]

Biniam! Everybody likes that.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice one, Bini!

They'd better be. We just lost half the Giro peloton due to covid.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Aert has traded his 2nd places for 3rd places.

 

[Didinho]

Was following Merlier, never in contest for the sprint. Totally boxed in all the time.

 

[Didinho]

Whole Eritrea on the finish line.

The lady has earned her salary here

Bini has shaken off the Flanders crash. Bodes well for his stage chances at the TDF.

I believe you, but only one of them would have their names spelled correctly.

Nice win for Remco's daddy!

That would be awesome, but I think the bigger hills might be too much for him to get by Wout.

Chapeau Girmay - team Girmay at the finish, now that's how to celebrate a stage win!

 

[Didinho]

Don't think Wout is going for green/sprints this year with the WC in mind. But yeah with his point gap from last year he can still win it with half the chances.

Biniam was just flat out the fastest. Hit out about the same time as Wout and didn't come out of his slipstream and Démare wasn't really gaining on him once he got free. Of course Merlier never sprinted.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Guessing that's skijumper roglic fan in the middle of the Eritrean crowd

WvA started about 3 seconds earlier, but Girmay probably the fastest either way.
Edit: In fact, WvA was about 19.5 seconds in the wind (which is crazy) and Girmay about 13.5 (still really impressive).

WVA might not finish the TDF also as his wife is heavily pregnant

 

[Berflamand]

No more leadership issues for UAE (if there ever were any in this race) since Vine loses 9 minutes today (and Bennett 15 minutes but I guess he was always going to domestique).
