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.
Both just showing how happy they are to be racing.First race of the season in Europe, first double celebration.

Who won?
Bernal was late (I guess he passed Bouchard and Bouwman so quickly he didn't see them)
Swift was damn lucky to have won yesterday. Normally karma dictates otherwise...Connor Swift was almost too early yesterday...

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.Swift was damn lucky to have won yesterday. Normally karma dictates otherwise...
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.Swift was damn lucky to have won yesterday. Normally karma dictates otherwise...
Van Vleuten joins the fun as well.
