Thanks!
maybe a yellow card? Two yellows = penalty or whatever?Is there a middle ground to draw attention to Bennett's move off line at the end? Maybe some sort of relegation, short of disqualification?
Doesn't really matter which direction they shift, they have to ride a straight line or near enough.DSQ is possible but deviating from one's line is not nearly as dangerous when it's away from the barriers instead of towards them, that should always be taken into account imo.

One of the most beautiful sprints I've seen. He wasn't even in the overhead picture, just ahead of Kristoff who ended nowhere, then moved through the field like - er...- me through a busy crowd at a shopping center.
That's what they do in cross-country skiing. It's very subjective and sometimes almost random what gets called and doesn't get called, and as usual is open to calls of corruption when particular teams and athletes seem to get away with murder. However, it is also very clear; athletes on startlists, in intermediate sprint results and on results pages appear with the yellow card clearly displayed next to their name, and if they receive one mid-stage it is added almost instantly via the transponder data.maybe a yellow card? Two yellows = penalty or whatever?
Are we getting a video of you sprinting through the shopping center?
Don't think that's really a problem. Other sprinter teams will still control breaks cause that's what sprinter teams do and he can't really be positioned worse than he was today. Now that doesn't mean he is easily gonna win every bunch sprint, he was already lucky today that there was such a strong headwind, just that I don't think today changed the sprinter dynamics in any meaningful way.All the other sprinters started too long. They were all gassed 50 m from the line. Caleb timed it beautifully but now that the other teams know and his team is short 2 powerful guys, it will get difficult
At what he does not saying he'll be winning top races anytime soonWe live in different worlds
AgreeHow do you beat Ewan in a headwind sprint like this one?
He's both the smallest and the most explosive top sprinter, a headwind finish is great news for him.
Sagan in green for real now. At least there are some things that are still normal in this world.
Great win for Ewan. FFS please DQ Bennett.
