wow pozzato. People can call him a pussy all they want but have not seen many riders get up that quick with a broken collarbone

Sepulveda wins the Tour du Doubs!

 

[TMP402]

Marko Kump wins Velothon Stockholm.

Edit: and the field was very weak, much like at Velothon Wales. The Velothon dudes need to get it together.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Please refer to the King of the Sh*t Small Races by his full title, His Majesty Marko Kump.

Does anyone have a complete startlist for the Coppa Agostoni, please?

Not complete but has all the people who you may expect will win.

Looks like it's complete now, thanks! Was hoping for Miguel Angel Lopez to start, but seems like he'll only ride the worlds and Lombardia until he ends his season.

 

[TMP402]

Kittel pulled out of the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen at the last minute because of illness.

 

[TMP402]

Well, Jens Debusschere won - not just his second win in three editions, but his second win in three days!

I thought that Golas won?

My mistake! The race jury disqualified Debuscherre.

 

[TMP402]

Debusschere now listed as 6th, same time as the winner.

@jensdebus

Thx @GroenewegenD to f*ck up for both of us. I would feel sorry if I did something wrong but this is not the case. Anyway hope you are OK.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Pretty much the only way Golas can a win bike race.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wonderful race action picture. Ranks with the best of the year....

Now who won the race?

He's absolutely right. Race jury must've been drunk. Groenewegen trying to pass where he cannot pass, touches DB and crashes.

Very hard punishment for Debusschere. I don't think he does something really wrong. His elbow comes only after Groenewegen gets out of balance.

+1

Just an update: Groenewegen broke his knee.

 

[fauniera]

There was just enough room for Groenewegen, but Debusschere clearly closed the door. Correct decision by the jury.

that movement from Debusschere is not closing the door to Groenewegen, more like a reaction to being touched. That's what I got out of the video anyway.

Nonsense.
10 cm is not nearly enough room (on the first picture you can see JDB is about to push his right pedal, meaning he will be moving slightly to the right) + the road is not even straight. Last picture is from after they touched, as mentioned above. Groenewegen took enormous risks and paid for it. But too bad JDB has to pay for this as well (although he was lucky to stay upright himself).

 

[fauniera]

Nonsense.
10 cm is not nearly enough room

Does this look like 10 cm:

There clearly is enough room and Debusschere is clearly closing the door.

This is before the contact:

Note how much the gap has narrowed down and that Debusschere is still riding slightly to the right, while Golas and Groenewegen are riding straight ahead.

 

[roundabout]

You have to take the slight curve in the road into account though

Re:

Yep, Debusschere didn't turn to his right, rather the road closed on him. Groenewegen got sandwiched, but not really Debusschere's fault.
