So, 5 the last 7 stages have been won by 4 different Danish riders.

The last four yellow jersey wearers have been four different Danes.

All dedicated to the fallen Vingo.

"It's all about sowing the seeds of confusion",
don't know who the commentator is called who said this, but I guess it applies to racing and commentary more often than not.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

All dedicated to the fallen Vingo.

I don't think he dedicated any of his wins to himself.

 

[CyclistAbi]

This Dauphine continues the streak of races in the last 3 years , where Roglic fans can claim that he would have been stronger and attacked more if he hadn't crashed. The weekend will be fun

Yeah, he would join the breakaway today.

Robbing him?

At the finish line.

 

[RedheadDane]

At the finish line.

Spoiler: Big racing tactic reveal!

It's called being quicker!

 

[Sciatic]

They needed some orange cones or something on the walls of that narrow stone bridge

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Crash on a small stone bridge, Rogla was not involved

Hopefully Rogla got it.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Unlucky crash for definitely not Vingegaard.

We established in the crashes thread that bridges are indeed something in need of special attention. When it comes to improving riders safety. It's rather common for such a bridge to cause a crash.

that's... almost unnatural

That line at the finish, Cort crossed it first.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That line at the finish, Cort crossed it first.

And that seems to have rubbed you the wrong way.

 

[tobydawq]

That line at the finish, Cort crossed it first.

Come on. If you want to be taken just a bit seriously, stop saying unironically that Roglic was robbed when he was beaten.

 

[Andre]

how long is a rider allowed to draft from the cars?

Obviously still thinks “lesser riders” should just let Roglic finish in front of them and avoid Roglic to stop him from riding into them.

 

[Netserk]

The finish:

The last ~200 m flattens.

 

[will-10]

how long is a rider allowed to draft from the cars?

depends

 

[AmRacer]

how long is a rider allowed to draft from the cars?

0 seconds.
But if you crash or had mechanical, you can ride on the caravan back to the peloton.

 

[Sciatic]

We established in the crashes thread that bridges are indeed something in need of special attention. When it comes to improving riders safety. It's rather common for such a bridge to cause a crash.

And that one was pretty obvious as a hazard because the walls caused a pinch point with no place for riders to go if the riders on the outside edged inward.

 

[Sciatic]

depends

I think Milan was able to do it for like a week in that Giro sprint stage

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Harper slightly banged up after the bridge crash, commentator said his hand might have gotten hurt?

 

[Potomac]

What's the over/under km left when they catch the break?
