Still gap seems on the verge of 1s to me. And thats whats stated in the rules. In any way - good for him. Bit lucky.
Slow speed turn. In the straight, it was clear there was a 2 second gap
I would call it "extremely" lucky that this rule applies to a finish like today. After rewatching the crash and the passage prior to it, I just don't agree with some people's claims that there was a significant gap between the two riders.
No it wasn't. I rewatched it a couple of times (even stopping the time) and there was clearly no 2 second gap.

How is that supposed to be a > 1 second gap on a downhill stretch?

Can you imagine the collective wad folks' panties would be in if Remco had benefitted from a ruling like this?
Would be absolutely incredible.

Like in the 2022 Vuelta when he waited with his bike change(?) until 3 km to go so he would get the same time as the peloton? He finished 3 minutes behind the peloton after Rogla attacked near the finish.

Furthermore, notice that today was exactly as intended by the rule. Back then in 2022, the puncture was before 3 km to go so by the letter of the rule, it was a mistake to give Evenepoel the same time as the peloton.

Exactly. As we can see, people are still whining about it.Like in the 2022 Vuelta when he waited with his bike change(?) until 3 km to go so he would get the same time as the peloton? He finished 3 minutes behind the peloton after Rogla attacked near the finish.

How would this stage change my opinion? But it‘s good that he actually pulled today because it would have been very questionable otherwise.

Today was certainly not as intended by the rule.

the rule also is not supposed to apply on uphill finishes, as today clearly was
at least this isn't like the 2011 application on stage 1 where contador was held up by a crash and finish with shleck, and somehow schleck ended up 1:15 ahead (that seemed like ASO was giving contador a time penalty for the shenanigans the previous year)
Maybe because he beat Pog in a sprint? Which as a first as far as I know.

Technically speaking he did beat him in the sprint to the bonus point on stage 14 last year.

This could be the breaking point of the race, exactly in its half: Teddy's super offensive mindset could be over while it will be more about following Vingo (who OTOH will start attacking from this weekend).
Thats fair... I don't recall that
Edit: But that was a bonus sprint... Not the stage win?

Of course it was. A crash on a descent within the last 3 km when not finishing on top of a climb is exactly what is meant to be covered. A puncture more than 3 km from the finish is not.
Your videos are better than the Eurosport one (further out). I revise my view. Its clear that he was in contact.

Lots of great climbers had a shocker today. Mas and Hindley exploding, and generally just insane gaps for a stage like this. Huge gaps which easily could have been a lot higher (mainly stage 9), and the really hard stages are yet to come. Lots of strong riders looking to sneak into the break on stage 14, but especially 15 given UAE now won't control and Visma will have a hard time of doing just that.

Roglic and Remco have the same amount of haters on this forum, it'd be about the same as it is right now

today was not an uphill finish; the "climb" to the line was not classified. the 3km rule was in the rulebook for todays stage.
there have been so many more stupid applications of the 3km rule than today. who remembers the covid Paris-Nice when Schachmann did almost the same thing as Roglic today and kept the yellow jersey?
