Bad move by Ackermann. No way for this sprint to happen safely though, one miscalculated (or not, though I think this one was) manoeuvre is enough for a huge crash.
As Lanterne Rouge has described nicely, the punishment for causing other riders to crash is so mild that the dangerous riding is worth it: There is a risk of being religated, but when you know that you will miss a top spot anyway, you have nothing to lose. There should be further consequences like in most other sports.
Yeah Merlier blamed Philipsen who blamed Bonifazio.
Scheldeprijs sprinting at its finest.
Guess Ewan will finish his season at next week at De Panne - It's a valuable win for the team as Ewan rarely rides in Belgium.
Same here. I think he was already sprinting... They were showing the UCI people vividly arguing on Sporza
Not sure if they were the actual commissaires but they all wore UCI jackets...
Did Bennett drop a chain? Maybe it happened in the crash because he looks down and is shaking his head just after the crash starts
When was the last time there was no sprint finish in this race? Taking a quick look at the winners' list, I get the impression that it's at least 30 years.
Terrible swerves also from Bonifazio...

2005 was a break of 2 and 2006 a group of about 15 (the race was still held the wednesday after Roubaix and Quick Step where nowhere to be seen in Roubaix so as punishment/revenge they went full gas from the start).
It wasn't De Kleijn. The dutch are celebrating right now that it was just a norwegian

If 'that's just how he sprints' means swerving across half the road and cutting off at least two others, he has no business in the peloton.Yeah, but not DQ worthy... That's just how he sprints when running out of gas
Nah. He was on Ewan’s wheel, but didn’t react quick enough when Ewan started his sprint, and got sandwiched between Bonifazio going forward, and Philipsen’s leadout man coming back.
I only saw what was posted in the Tweet above and he wasn't "swerving across half the road"... It looked a bit wide but nothing out of ordinary in a sprint situation... I'm not even Bonifazio's fan so I really care if he was punished or not... Just saying
