I am told that Cav crop dusted, causing the gaps.

BTW, a good example of how corners make the sprint safer.

A 5th and a 7th place from having a dedicated leadout in the Giro and Tour. One time Degenkolb sprints he finishes 7th and Lund got one 5th place in the Giro.

Without any team support. DSM can be happy with the Tour no matter what happens on the remaining stages but they brought a sprint for Jakobsen to end up with the same kind of result as Degenkolb today.

Arnaud de Lie got lost in the bunch. He needs to find and fight for Jasper's wheel, which is Bini's strategy at the moment.

Yes, he's obviously gotten faster and seems like he's as fast as just about any other sprinter these days, though I'd say the two current fastest sprinters aren't here. It would have been interesting to see if he could have come past Philipsen if he'd have been better placed at the very end. In any case, good leadout from MVDP and a great win for JP. Good for him. Now we just need De Lie to get a win.

Yawn...definitely need more of those stages, instead of doing a gravel stage...

True enough, though it was a bit more than Bini's move. I wouldn't have relegated Philipsen myself but I guess it was influenced some by his history.
Congratulations to Jasper Philipsen for winning the stage and to Mathieu van der Poel for providing a perfect lead out.
Peloton self neutralized and all agreed they need an additional rest day, that shows on just how hard first week was. On top of that a rather perfect answer to being treated like a circus animal, as fans for sure would rather have them ride cobbles today. A rather demanding stage coming up tomorrow so all focus already on that.

"Sprinters have to have their stages"
Why again?

Because you want a bit for everyone in the biggest race in the world, and to give the GC guys a bit of a rest day
They had a restday YESTERDAY! [[content deleted]]What happened today is bad for the sport and this is by far the biggest stage for it.

Nice clean sprint but wow that was a dull stage.
He said in the post-race interview (I'm paraphrasing) that the leadout was just as good on stage 6, but Philipsen waited too long.
People can always gather and organise a GT race without including sprinters, and lets see on how that goes.
As far as i am concerned they can rest tomorrow too, slowly increasing the tension towards the week two finale. Some of us just like slow food and not sure if all the people that love slow food are simps. If yes then so be it.
