It is no sacarmas this timelove the sarcasm!
Because it's cycling. Should the race stop after every crash? Ridiculous. It has never been so. Racing is racing and crashes are part of it, you race on. Now, if the peloton deems it just to not go full gas after a crash to let the race leader back in the bunch, then it's only because of a contemporary sense of "fair play," but it's not been historically the case.why F1?
why not pick other sports where if u hurt yourself the game stops and we wait
Well, we've had our two bunch sprints. Thanks for your well-wishes.There are two stages with 5% climbs as the final challenge, the rest are harder.
Got luck to you and Rick in getting "at least two bunch sprints" with Remco and Jonas in this field.
Kirby gets a bee in his bonnet about certain riders and that is all we hear all day every day
Don't get me started on his Manny Buckman quips...He talks like he is best mates with 'Manny' and knows all his thoughts and brings him up everytime he can
I actually forgot he won two GC's. Not sure if he would be able to repeat that in today's peloton. But as a TT'er i rate him higher overall than for instance Bissegger.In 2022 he won the gc in Poland and was 15th in the Dauphine. So it's not that much of a stretch to have him target easier, small stage races.
But yeah, you are't wrong when it comes to his positioning...
He is already on the ground (on his back?) when the video starts.Difficult to know what happened here:

Carlton hearts betting and has a bit of a habit of a 'cheeky flutter' on some wildcarder or outside chance that leads him to suddenly become obsessed with them. At this race in the past we've had him screaming about Julián Arredondo thinking he was somehow leading out a sprint (it was Fabio Felline) and slating him when he didn't match Contador on the climbs, we've had him endlessly talking up Tosh van der Sande's chances for a finish when he'd crashed and abandoned before the stage made it to air.Kirby gets a bee in his bonnet about certain riders and that is all we hear all day every day

I actually feel sorry for Ethan Hayter. It’s not his fault the commentary team are spending vast parts of every broadcast hyping him to the moon.All I hear CK talking about constantly for the last 3 days is Hayter. Getting to be a meme at this point
Hey, why do you have my rider!
Ugh, he is already on the ground at the start of the video. Did whoever recorded the video really only start recording at that moment, or couldn't he/she be bothered to uploud 5 more seconds?Difficult to know what happened here:

Vingegaard got dropped every time the road went up. Really shameful.Why Vingegaard lost 32 s? He was dropped?
Sorry, i couldn't see the stage.
I was looking to PCS and First cycling and it was there that Vingegaard finished 32 s behind Hermans, but they already corrected the gaps.Vingegaard got dropped every time the road went up. Really shameful.
No, simply boniseconds.
Ah, well there was a crash inside the last 3k, he might have been held up but wasn't involved in the crash i believe.I was looking to PCS and First cycling and it was there that Vingegaard finished 32 s behind Hermans, but they already corrected the gaps.
It is. Obviously he's down at the start of the clip. Don't see anyone else going down at that point but it's hard to see. Maybe he just crossed wheels with someone in front of him?Difficult to know what happened here:

Hyping a rider would not actually help them win, but it might skew the odds if enough people believed the hype, making betting on them less profitable.Carlton hearts betting and has a bit of a habit of a 'cheeky flutter' on some wildcarder or outside chance that leads him to suddenly become obsessed with them.

I suspect with the Hayter this Hayter that stuff that this is similar and he has some money on him winning a stage - but amplified with his usual excitement for a Briton.
One alpecin rider was laying on the ground...looks like Oldani had another bad crash, already his 2nd or 3rd this season. Classified with +0:00, but behind the guys who finished at 15 minutes.
let's hope so, but going by the current forecast, there'll be a headwind on the climb tomorrow, and consequently also on the first half of the run-in to the finish.Hope that we finally get a GC stage tomorrow.
