Tour de France stage 10: Tuesday, St-Gildas-des-Bois - Saint Malo

[TANK91]

Cav slightly to the left???

Yeh sure dude , so Veelers did not look around and see cav and go left.

 

[mancsyboy]

You need to watch it again.

look at it and follow where the white line is. The Argos guy weaves from one side to the other. Racing incident

 

[Kopuliak]

Veleers suddenly stopped, he blocked and endangered other sprinters, absolutely unfair win for ARG and Kittel.No doubt he did it deliberately.

 

[Frosty]

Some small gaps there, some riders came home at +6 seconds, some at +11 seconds. Not sure whether the judges might blame the crash at all and change the classification. Doesnt look like anyone significant on GC lost more than that.

 

[AtletiSK]

I mean, come on guys, this is a clear DQ for Cav, ugly maneuver I have not seen in long time

Look at Greipels win and the move Henderson makes. This is what all the sprint teams do.

About the accident today, the both move towards each other. I agree about a racing accident.

 

[richwallone]

Not the biggest fan of Cav but there was nothing wrong with his sprint. Veelers just eased off and Cav was full on sprinting in which case a slight shoulder bump is going to throw off a guy not controlling his bike 'firmly'

Props to Sagan and his bike handling skills... Just like he said only a crash will prevent him from getting to Paris w/o the green jersey

 

[Afrank]

Did Talansky manage to rejoin after getting caught behind in a crash?

 

[Pricey_sky]

So Greipel bumps T Martin on stage 1 leading to a huge pile-up and Martin left in a bad state, nothing is said.

Cav bumps the Argos guy (who tried to block him) and everyone wants him out! Funny old world.

P&P mentioned that he did.

Lost 1:40

Dani Moreno also in that group

 

[EnacheV]

Argos guy should be disqualified from the race. looks back, slows down, move to the right blocking Cav path to his team sprinter. Deliberately endagering the health of other riders, elimination.

just watched 2 different slo mo's Veelers was a foot a foot and a half too the left of the centre white line; when collision with Cav happens hes the same too the right of it,he knew exactly what he was doing. His guy was on his left, Cav too his right.So he went right.
**** happens; its a sprint in a GT not an IP in a velodrome
Edit see above post ^^^

 

[Parrulo]

Oh if Ferrari or Bouhani had done this to Cav . . .

Not that i think he should be DQ'd . . .

 

[Frosty]

Top 100ish all given same time, the +6 seconds and +11 seconds have been changed to 0.

 

[manafana]

i just dont like that cavendish gives other sprinters a hard time for been dangerous and then he does that himself

Looks like two riders battles for a bit of space in a bunch sprint.
One guy went down. Its unfortunate but there is nothing wrong with it.

The general consensus ive been reading here is that it was an accident.

There was nothing dangerous about what Cav did, it's just part of normal sprinting. He moved to the right to pass Veelers, who was dropping back having been part of the lead out. Seeing Cav going to the right, Veelers shifted right to block/impede Cav. Cav shouldered him to protect his line, which was clearly not the line that Veelers had been on. Tbh, I'm shocked that Veelers went down from that contact. You see much worse than that in a lot of sprints with nobody going down. Veelers should get a fine/DQ for that.

The general consensus on Twitter is that Cav is an *******. Only some of the usual anglophones defend him (Phinney, Brian Smith).

Does that make me anglophone?

 

[saganftw]

well well well since nothing really happened to points classification or stage victory its no big deal

if sagan fell,cav would have to abandon race overnight MUAHAHAHAHAAA...MUAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA

 

[ElChingon]

Before that Sagan was leaning severely on someone, thought there'd be two DQ's or at least relegation's? Mini Fine?

Luckily no major injuries.
