Everyone against Philipsen. Have you all seen what Cav did yesterday the whole last km? If that was Jasper we would never hear the end of it.

He has to choose a side around Mathieu, this happens all the time in close battle. It looks more offensive because someone is closer to the side. It was close though, but nothing to get relegated.
I don't know what you watched yesterday, but it wasn't the last km.

The whole last km Cav rode the line between positioning and DQ’ing perfectly. In no way was that anywhere close to the blatant DQ by Philipsen today.

I‘m not against Philipsen, but Cav did absolutely nothing wrong yesterday. When he went from one side of the road to the other, he had about a meter of space behind his rear wheel.

And I’m a big Cav fan. I mean before the sprint they almost crashed because of him. It’s just how you look neutral at it, if that was Philipsen going through all these lines swerving and bumping a lot of riders.
If Philipsen moves an inch people are complaining. It’s definitely not as bad as last year. He can’t see behind him.

And I know if you have the speed you can choose your line but he takes the whole peloton to the other side and the crash from Pedersen happens. Would you say the same if Philipsen did al of that the last km.

Three bunch sprints and three different winners, that's good to see there's no one dominating.

Even Gaviria looks in form. Looks better than at the Giro. Albeit nowhere near 2017-20 level version of himself.

There might not be any sprinter right now who is dominant (and tbf the best 2 sprinters in the world this season are not at the TdF)... but this season has been fun in terms of a LOT of sprinters right around the same level.
 
So congrats to Groenewegen, a new stage winner for the 6th consecutive day. Will the streak continue tomorrow? (Remco and Wout have good chances).

The GC guys navigates safely through the stage but there were some moments: Teddy staying alone in the front group, also Visma-LAB drilled the tempo a bit at the end and the leader was quite far at some point. Potentially tricky moments were avoided by the leader. So finally time for the TT!

Pedersen got the compativity prize.
He would have preferred to just get to the bus and have his bandages changed...

According to Roxanne Kneteman, Groenewegen really needed to win.

The reason is because they needed some more of stuffed lions, because their dog keeps *** them

She is aware he's not getting a lion?
Also, what lions? I thought you only got those for having yellow...
