Celebrating Too Early/Late

[Devil's Elbow]

Was that a third guy from the same team in the background?

If it was, he was lapped, because fourth place finished 4 minutes down (results sheet).

Motorbike rider seemed to be celebrating: hope he didn't play a part in it.

Coming in 12" behind these three, although a lap in arrears, was David Moncoutie's son, Matteo. Who is on the same team as the rather crafty winner, so I guess he was behind the motorbike and therefore the owner of the raised arm.

53.9 km too early...

The most iconic Italian celebration since Marco Tardelli

A reply, 5 laughs, a love and a thumbs up within 18 hours of posting, but when, last July, I made exactly the equivalent post about Cort Nielsen in polka dots with his arms in the air on a Danish berg with the caption "117.8km too early", not a hint of a response.

You're a fickle bunch.

It's still not as bad as when you realise that every single post on the entire page has been liked by Sandisfan, except yours.

Fratczak must be yearning for the days when most of Avenir wasn't televised.

In Armchairs defense I think that was a time where I had less time to read every freekin(LOL) post and sometimes threads have dropped off the 1st page or became yesterday or later and I missed some threads, NO DISRESPECT intended.

I also dislike when I think threads aren’t being posted in because it doesn’t pop up in my notifications and I miss stuff. One day I missed 6 pages in the Evenepoel thread.

Most embarrasing ever was Alexandre Moos. It was a stage in the Vuelta long ago. Andrei Zintchenko had attacked and won from a break or something many minutes earlier. Something like ten guys had passed the line. Then as the peloton approaches Moos attacks, he's really concentrated, looks back a couple of times and cruises over the line with a nice victory gesture. I guess he figured his attack was so super hard that no one could respond. Then a little later there were pictures of him arguing with people from the race organization.

And the people from the race organization told him "DON'T HAVE A COW MAN"

We need a 'groan' button.

Another variation on the theme in the Vuelta today: Celebrating exactly appropriately, but the guy in second thinking that you are celebrating too late.

 

[Izzyeviel]

A painful one this.

Literally celebrating too late in Münsterland Giro today, Hagenes riding like he‘s going to do another lap.

Does he think that he is the new Pantani?

Quite an achievement to start your season like this, I must say

Emil Herzog celebrated 2 laps too early, but nobody availed of the rare opportunity to have two premature celebrations in the same race.

Winning races is overrated. You have an opportunity for legendary recognition by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and do it with style and panache! An achievement that can cross sporting lines and become international headline. Your legacy lives forever on the internet in short 5 second clips

Strange that nobody at Bora bothered to say it was not the finish. Hopefully Roglic doesn't think he won le tour after stage 19 (like in 2020)

That won't be an issue, seeing as he will be 5+ minutes down by that point.

Roglič tends not to make the same mistake twice, as we have seen at Giro 2023.
