Jezus nightmare for some of the GC guys today, mainly because of that crash.

Ive said this before, this race doesn't need a final like this. It's a climbers races, let the GC be decided by the climbs instead of nervous finals. But hey, that's just me. I'm not going to say this wasn't way more entertaining than just a normal bunch sprint.

Didn’t watch, but crash happened before the 3 km banner?

quite a lot of GC riders seems to have lost time according to the preliminary results.

Has anyone ever gone from not having a sprint at all to being one of the fastest GC riders as rapidly as Evenepoel has? 2019-20 Evenepoel could have started this one in Roglic' wheel and still wouldn't have made the top-5, now he coasts past everyone bar Roglic (who, tbf, was forced to go pretty early) on a hill that probably isn't even half as difficult as the Cauberg. Extraordinary development.

Overhead shows just how fast Evenepoel was gaining at the end. Being quicker than Roglic on a finish like this is pretty impressive considering how bad his sprinting has been.
It is, but don't underestimate the disadvantage of hitting the front too early, which Roglic did. On a finish like this you can make up a lot of ground if you time it right.

What's funny is Remco trying to bang the bars and missing it.

Roglic " Don't worry Remco, I'll let you win a stage later on in the race, no crying now"
