100% the marginal gains of Roglic sacrificing is tire for you

 

[RedheadDane]

Schachmann was third!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The most professional way ever to show the winner?

 

[Luthor]

I think the TV finish would definitely show the closest rider to the camera to be larger and therefore expanding his space.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Looks like Van Aert on that one

 

[TMP402]

Is it possible to have a tie? Has there even been a situation in pro racing where they cannot distinguish a winner, where they cross at exactly the same time?

Yes

 

[johnymax]

Why does Wout ride with No13 on his back?

That's the most important thing at the moment. I'd like to know too.

 

[Poursuivant]

Crazy

 

[Red Rick]

Comon guys the best way ti find the winner is Strava

 

[Skalman]

Pidcock looked like winning for sure, i dont know how they saw anything different from the tv screens atleast

 

[ice&fire]

I think the camera finish has a bad angle. we need something more clear.

If the finish line looks vertical there is no question about camera angle

 

[Orbit501]

Surely ES can't go until we get the official result!?

 

[Hayabusa]

Find out next time on Eurosport who won..

 

[benzwire]

Yes

What race? Just wondering. In this case, I think Wout takes it

 

[Sciatic]

Why not just call a tie when it’s down to a milimeter —then you get two happy riders

It has been official for minutes afaik

 

[RedheadDane]

Have they declared a winner yet?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Who was saying this race doesn't suit Valverde at all and he has absolutely no chance at all and he shouldn't be racing it at all? Hhmmm, better than 99 % of the peleton. Lol

 

[Luthor]

It's not vertical from that angle. Remember BP Women race, another bad angle.

 

[Orbit501]

Oh, it's ok... The breakaway programme on ES Player comes to the rescue.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Damn Valverde is super strong, looking hella good for Flèche and Liege.

 

[kingjr]

Have they declared a winner yet?

The announcer at the race declared Wout the official winner already like 30 secobnds after the race. Someone from the jury showed the photofinish to the cameras a few minutes ago, I couldn't see it clearly, but I assume it shows Wout ahead.

 

[Rollthedice]

This photofinish is nothing compared to the excitement that awaits on Wednesday, will Valverde win another Fleche?

 

[Orbit501]

The graphic on official feed still said provisional.

I also think they had that photo available right after the finish, it just wasn't shown on camera for some reason.
