Damn, Alaphilippe. A bit too optimistic there.

Great ride by Onley. Very surprising to me. Cro Race 2022 is a long time ago.

 

[Sciatic]

Did Ala not realize where the finish line was?

 

[Potomac]

There can Onley be one.

 

[perico]

For all the build up, Willunga is still just a normal 3rd category climb in Europe

 

[Potomac]

Did Ala not realize where the finish line was?

That's what it looked like.

 

[tobydawq]

Strong was erroneously noted as second on stage 2 before Williams. The footage quite evidently showed that Williams was not overtaken before the line.

That mistake now costs Williams the leader's jersey.

 

[stefank]

Did Ala not realize where the finish line was?

Given that he'd already been through finish once he should have known!

 

[johnymax]

Who is Bart Lemmen in 5th...the new Roglič?

 

[hfgon1]

Great performance from Lemmen as fifth.

Will be interesting tomorrow. Four riders within 5 seconds, Onley and Williams at the same time.

The finish line is different in France

Been known to happen

Okay, scratch that, he does have the jersey because of a lower sum of placings. But I bet he would like to have had those two seconds.

 

[RedheadDane]

Great performance from Lemmen as fifth.

Too early for an "Air Force Commander" Thread?

My feed was choppy and I couldn't understand how del toro got at the back of the peloton. That had to have removed some energy to get close again

 

[Potomac]

Did Ala not realize where the finish line was?

I've changed my mind after watching the replay.

 

[Unchained]

Onley takes it.

Best kit and he won the race!!!

 

[Unchained]

I've changed my mind after watching the replay.

He was about 7-9 back and the first few riders shifted into turbo

 

[Potomac]

Archie Ryan for the win today.

39th place and 78 seconds back.

So...almost.

 

[yaco]

As I p0redicted, Yates could not make a difference as Wilolunga is a power climb - Plapp was always going to be Jayco's number one seed. Jayco and others will attack tomorrow but this year they are doing the easier side of Mt Lofty. If they used the side from last year then there could have been shifts in GC.

Did Ala not realize where the finish line was?

Came here to say the same thing. Seems like he might have thought the KOM line was the finish line since that was 200m before the actual finish line.

 

[Sciatic]

I've changed my mind after watching the replay.

I think you’re right—he just gassed himself with nothing left for flat final meters

 

[Izzyeviel]

He was gassed. You don't cross the line & keep pedalling.

& i hadn't realised how bright the yellow B's are. Scorchio!

 

[Unchained]

Mollema,Chris Harper and Ulissi all together and not far back. Hope that a good sign for Trek..Quinn Simmons had one leg fall off.. can't win them all

 

[theyoungest]

Great performance from Lemmen as fifth.

Could have been even closer, it looked like, but he got squeezed there at the end by Simon Yates.



(yes, this was a pun)
