Everyone wait for Ineos

 

[fuiers]

Why the hell are they showing these clips all over again? Poor coverage in my opinion.

 

[johnymax]

Maybe he just took it easy? After all; he was already over 8 minutes behind.

Yeah, probably.

 

[70kmph]

Pogi happy

Just in case someone missed it.
Different standards in regard to disturbing images too.

Was it really that bad? They showed a couple of times from Polanc's onboard camera where you couldn't see anybody getting injured. I think they wanted to show how it happened right in front of Pogačar while he was very relaxed and talking with another rider. Nobody died, nobody was seriously injured I think, but at he same time it affected the racing big time. Riders completely stopped and were soft pedalling. I think it's a pretty standard thing to show the crash 4-5 times to see exactly what happened.

The faceplant was nasty. Maybe too much for certain audience. It's considerate to stick to least tolerable criteria establishing a standard.
Personally, I wasn't bothered apart from the fact it'll affect Yates and the rest during the coming couple of weeks, which always bothers me.

Ewan takes it, good to see Greipel competing too

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice one by Ewan.

 

[sir fly]

Excellent sprint.
Congrats to Ewan.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

now for the serious business/main course

 

[Netserk]

A short sprint, but a clean head-to-head between Ewan and Bennett.

Bennett seemed a bit too hesitant there, can see a lot of lateral head movement when Ewan is side by side.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nicely timed Ewan. There’s at least one sprinter capable of mixing it with DQS still!

 

[Faserr]

Headwind sprint? Ewan to Quick-Step in 2022? He and Morkov would be brutal, too.

Ewan v Bennett is gonna be good fun this year. Really hope they end up in all the big races together

 

[Lequack]

Great win today by Ewan, and of course by Pogacar for the GC
