So do we have the new rule that you need to have a look behind and use your indicator lights when you take a turn? Because then during the break formation we would have to disqualify dozens of guys.
He took a turn when being side by side with Pog. I don’t think it was physically possible to avoid the crash for Pog once THJ started his turn. No braking or turning from Pog’s end could change the outcome.

So it can’t be anything but 100% THJ’s fault.

Why should they wait for Pogacar then. He's not in the yellow jersey.

Like seriously if we still want to pretend there's actually a competition going on you shouldn't normalize this stuff.
Why wait for Pog then? He's not yellow jersey.

You certainly couldn’t count me among those advocating for all the waiting.

That said, the defending champ in the GC lead is he obvious leader of the race. Let’s not pretend we don’t all understand the difference between their respective status in the race.

The images show his wheel, overlapped. The images show EVERYONE else in the group moving right. You're right, the evidence provieded proves my point.
No, that is just not what happened.

Images show THJ riding too tightly infront of Pog to follow a move on the right. Pog had no time adjust. It was reckless and it is unfortunate it results in a crash.

You are right but the UnoX rider did a deviation too evident. He is on the left side and 2 seconds after he is on the right side
In reality is was just a racing thing. Pog was momentarily paying attention to something else, when there was a dramatic move right. The UnoX guy just reacted to what was happening...If I'm laying honest blame, there isn't really any blame. Just an unfortunate accident.

OMG that Pog crash on TV looks worse than Almeida crash even if the reaction is different.

Schmid made a tactical error in the last km. He needed to gamble more and get off the front because he was riding into the wind.

Just to be sure: Pogacar crashed before the 3 kilometer mark, so he wouldn't have gotten the time of the others in the group, right? Was the 3 kilometer rule in effect today anyway?
