Yes that was crap, and it was just at 3.2kms. I hope they might still be giving everyone the same time, or not?

Van der Poel got lucky with that early celebration
No mistakes from him today. He is on fire!
Often I think these rivalries are talked up by media and fans... but the way they are celebrating, there really seems to be a nice rivalry coming.
Yeah, but it was actually a nice move. Maybe they should have reserved two riders for the front and then let go?

MvDP can thanks Van Aert. Without his help he wouldnt win.
Sagan bad legs or was holded by fall? I think I saw him unharmed but involved in it.

Wout clearly riding with the GC in mind. Did anyone see why van der Poel suddenly was more to the back around the 2km mark?
BTW, nice victory move.

He's the king of the hill!
I love it, and I'm not a fan. It must be awesome to have this shape and put them all to the sword, seemingly with ease. You're only king of the hill for a short time in life, so you better enjoy it, and MvdP seems totally aware of that.
Yes, no Ineos rider under the first 31 riders. Thomas, Bernal and Sivakov lost time today?
Vermeersch was involved in the crash, so it's likely that van der Poel was held up a bit as well.

Yeah, for a minute it looked like he may have messed it up again as he was well back on the left and looked like he risked being blocked again, then suddenly he made a little effort and was on Wout's wheel.

Yep. When you're clearly the best there's nothing wrong with showing it. It's boring otherwise.

I wonder how his celebration will go down on social media. When Evenepoel dusted off his shoulder it nearly resulted in WWIII and it took extensive international lobbying for all nuclear powers to stand down. This celebration is not that different, also saying "too easy", "i'm the best", "not breaking a sweat"... But something tells me this time Twitter and Wielerflits will not explode for some reason.

Moving up through the group so easily like that when they were clearly pushing the pace was extremely impressive.

Come on. In that case all of Sagan's early career celebrations should be seen as arrogant too.

Hmm...If he lets MvdP chase, maybe he secures a win and 10 boni seconds or at the worst he comes in second behind Stybar and again secures 6 boni seconds like he actually did in real life. There's also a nightmare scenario, where he would let MvdP chase, but Mathieu wouldn't chase and than beat him in a sprint for second so he gains only 4 boni seconds. But I don't think the latter scenario is realistic and belongs more in the "Slight miss from me. Move along." thread.

And they were seen as such by a lot of forum users.
