I disagree. But Eisel shares your view, for example. Just think the way he went in with the shoulder was absolutely unnecessarily rough and Capiot really didn't move a lot, rather van Gils seeing a gap where there never was one.
De Lie as well, but he might of course be a tad biased. I agree the gap required a daredevil to move through, but we've seen sprinters move through smaller gaps time after time. I still think it was an unfortunate incident, because Capiot wasn't aware of the riders on his left side. Leadout riders shouldn't be drifting sideways, but just let up straight and let riders pass them when their vision lets them.
I guess this has been discussed a lot yesterday, and I feel sorry for Capiot, so maybe it's better to focus on todays interesting stage.
 
Lots of people here sounding like Pogacar has lost the Tour already when he hasn't even been dropped once yet. He's the biggest favorite to win the stage today.
Well, we haven't yet had any real hard high mountain stages. On the hardest stage so far Vinge won.

Probably the biggest favorite today, at least if the stage is not ridden hard.

If he is still the favorite to win the tour is more uncertain I would say. As we know, it depends on several factors: will Vinge get stronger and stronger, will Pog pay for the Giro, etc.

If he rides smart I still give Pog a decent chance of winning the tour.
