lol... lotto fail

 

[Didinho]

De Lie and his chain. Not a good relationship. Once again. Perfectly placed.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Coquard!

 

[RedheadDane]

Congrats Coquard.

 

[search]

le Coq wins, as usual

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What is De Lie always doing to his bikes.

 

[titan31]

Buchman, Heyter down

Shame, imagine Hayter was the sprinter of choice for them today

 

[Brullnux]

As if a headwind would stop Alberto Goattiol 🤣

Update: a headwind did stop Bettiol

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surely that wasn't Brandon Rivera he led out

 

[Escarabajo]

Ffs Egan getting involved with random leadouts a few weeks before the Tour, he just cant help himself.

Brandon Rivera?

De Lie would've easily won this without the mechanical. I don't see how that's a "Lotto fail".

Pretty strong that De Lie was still there.

 

[KZD]

Apart from GP Quebec last year it seems that De Lie just can't win in the World Tour for one reason or the other.

Good sprint from Coquard nonetheless and surprised to see Costa and Rivera finishing in the top5.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Coquard winning a WT sprint. In this year, in this economy?
Unexpected.

 

[Nick2413]

Beauty by Coquard going immediately after the final turn.

 

[postmanhat]

Amazing after all that, that it still came down to being in the first few places at the final turn. Unlucky for De Lie, but great ride by Coquard.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Hayter still chilling at the back

That worked out well.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Laurance really needs better support on this kind of terrain, no point in making a group of 40 if only Kragh is there to pace. Was an issue at Catalunya too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brandon Rivera?

Yeah Rivera, it was the glasses, ended up 4th ahead of Pidcock, really weird sprint

 

[yaco]

I expected De Lie to make the final, however, its not the first time he's suffered a mechanical at the end of a race.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Update: a headwind did stop Bettiol

The wind was from the west in the forecast which should be mostly tailwind from where Bettiol launched his attack

Laurance is not fast enough to win against this type of group. Alpecin give full support to their leaders, however, there tactics are questionable at times.

 

[Rob5091]

Chapeau Coquard - went early and held on. Bling second, De Lie 3rd and with a mechanical problem of some sort, and because it's TdS, Rui Costa had to be there! Alpecin did a lot of work for 6th place.

Needs a different team with their focus on MVDP and Phillipsen. Though maybe if (as rumoured) Groves leaves, he'll get more of the opportunities he clearly deserves.

De Lie and his bikes is an ongoing saga.

When a sprinter is a better climber than 80% of the team you have a problem.
