ConCort!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cort didn't get Caught!

 

[Potomac]

Magnus mustache

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yellow jersey for Cort and yellow cards for the rest of his team for celebrating.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

very nice power sprint by Cort. Solid win. Berrade will have to attack wildly later.

 

[Netserk]

El Caudillo lays down the law!

 

[RedheadDane]

Did that ad banner cause the crash?
Or was it on the road because of the crash?

 

[E_F_]

So much stronger than the rest hahaha

 

[Rob5091]

Did n't even need a lead out man, chapeau Cort, but Mesa did well in 2nd.

there was a big tailwind, I think, but his timing was definitely perfect. Everyone basically finished where he started the sprint.

I think it caused the crash. Incredible misfortune. It had all day to get loose and then it chooses the sprint to do it.

 

[Netserk]

Nice to see a podium ceremony where they put the jersey on the rider while on the podium.

Ridiculously weak sprint field to be honest, top tier farming by Uno X

 

[titan31]

With the TT Gee should be the clear favorite.

Piganzoli should be decent on that TT course

Not really their fault, is it?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Will tomorrow be too hard for Cort or can we expect a group of 20 riders+ together to the finish?

When he can win on Col de la Loge, then surely..!

Mintegi came in with Berrade but stopped to look for his crashed team mate. He got the same time as the winner

 

[tobydawq]

I'll probably jinx him by writing this, but Txomin Juaristi could actually score a decent result here.

Insane jinx. You write this, and next thing a barrier attacks him during the sprint!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, and I managed to screw over Agirre as well without even mentioning him. Juaristi had lost some skin, but it didn't look too serious.

Probably depends on how they race it. There's a few guys who might want it hard to try and shed some of the sprinters so maybe Cort could be in trouble then

Still not acceptable.

 

[tobydawq]

Still not acceptable.

It was a freak accident. It's hard to account for every single eventuality. And very easy to point fingers.

 

[Rob5091]

O Gran Camino race director Ezequiel Mosquera not happy with the UCI points system, as it's kept guys away from the race -
https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling...ndefensible-and-outrageously-disproportionate

"The system is wrong, absurd, indefensible and outrageously disproportionate. Because it cannot be that Jonas Vingegaard comes here, wins three difficult stages and the general classification and gets the same points as the runner-up in the Clasica de Almeria,"

 

[Wyndbrook]

It was a freak accident. It's hard to account for every single eventuality. And very easy to point fingers.

It is easy to point fingers, but there is also a learning there to ensure it does not happen again.
Personally I get frustrated and sometimes personally upset by all the injuries that riders suffer.
It's bad enough when it's a mistake they themselves make, but when it's through no fault of their own it's doubly bad.
