Indeed. Couldn't have been a better day for them today.

You'd think they will push early again tomorrow to drop Kittel over the Cat 2 and give Matthews a chance at the intermediate sprint, it might also give Barguil a chance to get away.

Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching into the sprint and, in so doing, endangering others.
I also think Matthews shouldn't be relegated. This kind of sprint happens almost every time. So, I agree with you.Pirazziattacks said:Matthews wasn't close to putting Degenkolb into the barriers there, I think Degenkolb didn't realise how much space he had. Degenkolb almost got himself caught up behind Matthews early when he could've used the space to his right instead.Forever The Best said:Lol ES commentators saying that what Matthews did today and what Sagan did on stage 4 aren't different.:lol:
Sagan elbowed Cavendish, Matthews just closed the door, not even comparable.

edvald came a lot faster
Edvald came faster but he was too late. He had a clear run.
Degenkolb was impeded by the wayward aussie.
It was a clean sprint.

Clearly they needed mroe as kittel didn't get back. But Martin paid for it - even tough he himself shares some of the blame, he still had two team mates (although Brambilla isn't useful in these situations) but missed the split. Aru and Uran managed with one or none.yaco said:Big fail by Quick Step today - They only needed one or a maximum two riders to bring back Kittel. You can say they've done an FDJ.

The rule is unclear. There are two kinds of punishments, one for irregular sprinting and another for dangerous sprinting.StryderHells said:AICA ribonucleotide said:2.3.036 Sprints

They key word in that rule is "and", Matthews deviated but did he endanger Dagenkolb? I don't think he did.
