This swerve (and celebration) reminds me of this serve. Two incidents that I really shouldn't laugh at, but couldn't help but do so.

I think Demare's celebration today was both very early and very late. Strange one.

Connor Swift was almost too early yesterday: Bernal was late (I guess he passed Bouchard and Bouwman so quickly he didn't see them)

I honestly just thought he knew it could end up a situation where every second counted.
Swift was damn lucky to have won yesterday. Normally karma dictates otherwise...
I’m sure he saw them, he just didn’t know if they were the leaders or just backmarkers from the group. He presumably hadn’t been counting guys as the peloton passed them.
I still say the best thing would be to have a race commissaire vehicle immediately in front (say, 50m) of the race leader at all times; if you can see this big, brightly colored flag on the back of this car, you’re at the front of the race. Not so much for avoidance of wrong-time celebrations (though that would be a result) but just for the benefit of a simple bit of binary race awareness for the riders (“I can see the lead car, => I’m leading the race”/“I can’t see the lead car/I can see a rider between me and the lead car, => I’m not leading the race”)
I guess maybe karma looks on with more kindness to riders who rarely get the chance to contest for the win than sprinters who may get 25-30 chances a season to battle out a finish for the victory.
I think Swift banked a lot of karma by clearly being the strongest in the break in the final 20km, and still doing most of the work to keep them clear.

Van Vleuten joins the fun as well.
And this was actually taken before the race, because she hadn't been told there were 66 other riders on the startlist.
