Monster sprint by geniez. Chapeau.

 

[fuiers]

What a final 1km!

 

[GuyIncognito]

Well, that was predictable

Re:

Is any of these guys going to attack, or are they actually going to try to beat Geniez in a sprint? Surely not?

They did

 

[Bolder]

What the hell happened after the line? Bodies and bikes everywhere.

Van Baarle gave up too early, he misjudged the line.

No surprise a crash on that tiny road

 

[sir fly]

Excellent stage.

That's a borderline unsafe sprint finish. I'm all for action but road is way too narrow.

 

[Escarabajo]

That finish is dangerous!

 

[Lexman]

so what happens in the bunch?

 

[glassmoon]

wtf? stupid.

 

[Scarponi]

What a bloody moron !!!!!

 

[Bolder]

Ah, now I see, crowd of photographers and someone wandered in in front of Geniaz. Official got whacked and VB went over the bars.

 

[fuiers]

What was that man doing? Did he not know that there where 5-6 guys coming at full speed.

 

[sir fly]

And a spectator or official featured after the line...

 

[Stella0596]

Yeah great, so you lose a sprint and get a free crash after the finish line... what a stupid guy

Vuelta is very dangerous after the finish line.

Rather come 5th then win and break my collarbone !

 

[TourOfSardinia]

would be nice to have the peloton on view

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So Van Baarle sprinted from about 400m out, but 50m behind. What was he playing at allowing that gap?

Campenaerts said to Danish TV that he would rather have won and broken his collarbone than come fifth

 

[RedheadDane]

That was quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Re:

Kind of humiliating for van Baarle to lose the sprint, then crash after the finish line.
But the spectator got owned, the sunglasses flew off his face because he got hit in the head so hard. So there was a price to pay for this oblivious jaywalk blunder

Wouldn't say humiliating cause it wasn't his fault and he's not exactly known as a sprinter

 

[spalco]

About 3:20 advantage for Herrada if I counted correctly.
