Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 3: Valenciennes – Dunkerque (173.8k)

[Miha81]

Mildly said not his biggest fan but this is hard to watch in slow motion. Kinda feel for him

 

[Berniece]

Punishment for Coquard? Not for crashing Philipsen directly, but for veering off his line into the Intermarché rider?

Yellow card?

 

[scribers]

Now who on earth will have green jersey???

Probably decided today at the line

 

[dgodave]

Brutal.

What? If any punishment your eyes should be able to see ahead of Coquard.
But I'll call a race incident.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Coquard swerved right into Cortina and bounced back right into Jasper.

What a horrible thing to happen on a day that should have been an easy one.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This stage has the potential to be really bad.
Rain
Headwind
No break

I believe the stage will be slow which increases the possibility of crashes (more riders unfocused).

Always the same story...

 

[nightowl]

A reminder of how cruel cycling can be - one moment on a sleepy stage and your tour can be done.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Coquard swerved right into Cortina and bounced back right into Jasper.

What a horrible thing to happen on a day that should have been an easy one.

And reason why Coquard swerved.

 

[postmanhat]

Why was Coquard riding so dangerously for an intermediate? He hasn't got a hope of even finishing in the top five of the Green jersey.

The "wave" into Philipsen was by the collision with the Intermarche rider but what happened before, one of them unclipped or just going for a space where there was no space? Would have to watch that again.

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar great decision not trying anything silly and going for green

 

[Unchained]

Jasper not moving his lower limbs, hope is deep road rub and nothing is broken, guy who crashed him, not clipped in with either foot!!wtf

Not sure. Didn't see a reason he needed to.

 

[jono]

My prediction: Kaden Groves gets at least 1 stage win.

It does kind of look like he steers right and goes for a gap that doesn’t exist, but things always look more intentional in slow-motion than they actually are.

 

[Raest]

He'll be very lucky if that was just the collarbone. He might have even broken the head of the humerus there. That was hard to watch. What an idiot Coquard was.

 

[Didinho]

This crash was mostly unfortunate. But there’s a finish sprint coming with some slight bends, could not be the last nasty crash of the day.

Team Donovan.. Munch

 

[dgodave]

They've shown that replay like 3 times now and I still dont understand what happened. This guy went that way into that guy who went this way and wobbled into Jasper?

 

[ppanther92]

MVDP paying Coquard a visit after the stage...

He did already slap and shout at him (as seen in the replay now)

E: not deleting but was not MvdP for well, obvious yellow reasons

 

[Ricco']

To think that useless Cofidis had a better chance of winning the intermediate sprint by going into a break on a flat stage instead of betting all on the 15th or so best sprinter in this field

 

[RedheadDane]

He did already slap and shout at him (as seen in the replay now)

That was Rickaert...
MVDP is quite easy to recognise... he's the guy wearing yellow.
