Yeah, he was was in that high speed crash near the finish on stage 3. I'd expect him to be better as the race goes on.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. May he have a lovely Tour.

He's still going well enough to win a stage. In saying that if we switched his run with Groenewegen's run then he probably loses by a half a bike length.

While i completely agree with him getting relegated, especially since he got "a warning" the day before, i think this is quite an understandable reaction. To me it sounds like he's crying while he's shouting. He'll undoubtedly be hugely disappointed, because this very likely means he can forget about the green jersey.
What cav did yesterday was just as bad, he was also headbutting and shoving in the final 1k again, but i bet they didn't dare to relegate Cav after finally winning his 35th and breaking the record. So the blame once again falls with the jury for being very inconsistent with their ruling. But i can understand him being upset. Doesn't mean he's right.
It looked like he never got on top of his gear.
EDIT: probably a good call to relegate him, but I wonder if he was trying to chop WvA or just trying to find 'the line', while going eyeballs crossed?

2x 2nd in Roubaix, that should be enough of an indicator.
Gravel is also less technical and exhausting than cobbles.
Philipsen: "They won't let me endanger other people's lives, so I have to think to hard to sprint well."
Reality: When your best just isn't good enough, so you have to try to put people in the barriers, to win.

Nice victory for sure. I think possibly since it was a hard day JP had the advantage over the other sprinters. Either that or he's starting to warm up as the tour goes on...we shall see.

When I was a teenager there was a Saturday cartoon called the Hair Bears, LOL not the best but the animation was several Bears with Giant Afros. In the bus maybe they could have a Giant afro wig for a rider who wins. Silly Yes
Your reference to Team Hair Care Reminded me of that silly cartoon.
P.S. Hill Billy Bears.
