Won't the 5k rule neutralize the yellow jersey battle?

It’s not a free pass unless you’re in a crash or mechanical

Mads Pedersen now 34 points ahead of Philipsen in the points competition.

Mads was too far back and had to sprint round too catch his lead out, stage was lost there.

No, there can be gaps. But if there is a crash, riders don't lose time.

What was Remco complaining about when he crossed the line?

I think a random rider from EF that accelerated on the other side of the road to make sure Carapaz would have the yellow jersey. Doubt it was complaining.

Then why did the leaders slow roll across the line a minute later?

DSM, Arkéa, Intermarché

Insane.

 

[movingtarget]

Nicely taken win by Girmay. Followed the right wheel. Chaotic final km.

 

[Boehmand]

Daryl Impey?

Oh man, my bad - I looked at the Wiki page for TdF records and somehow missed South Africa

 

[tobydawq]

Then why did the leaders slow roll across the line a minute later?

Because there was a crash...

It's a pretty basic rule, do we really have to get that explained?

I didn’t see what happened. But maybe they were hung up behind the crash?

Obviously it needs explanation to some people up thread.

New guys welcome here.

Carapaz won on placing. Not time.

Robbie Hunter erasure in the thread

Broccoli is just inventing his own facts as usual.

But first black African stage winner, so still a historic moment.

I think when there is a crash inside the last 5 K, they just give everyone who passed the 5K mark with the peloton the same time, as it would be impossible to work out who was held up and who wasn't.

Ben Healy has fallen off, now he’s a random rider.

Except for there was a GC placement change. So it’s not a complete free pass

Maybe Remco was pi**ed that Carapaz got yellow after wheelsucking him yesterday

 

[ManicJack]

Read all of the replies 🙄

 

[Wvv]

Hope everyone involved in the crash is ok. Always horrifying.

Girmay winning is awesome for cycling history tho. Kudos.

Listen. I’ll let you win this one in the spirit of neutralization

Either footballer reflexes our about the fact that his daddy won...

Yeah very likely, but in any case, Remco will probably get the yellow after the TT on stage 7
