Wait what?The organizers have decided to cancel the gap between the Valverde group and the rest of the peloton.

So, I was watching on a very bad connection but did Quintana seriously take a pull in the Roglic group when Movistar had split the race the second time?
Great win for Cavagna, also very surprised to see Bennett strong on such a lumpy finish, he’s ready for Yorkshire in this form.

Roglic has been asked and has declined to answer without seing a replay. Superman just looked as a whining child.Superman not afraid to speak his mind.
Would be real interesting to see him vs Sagan in a sprint to the line in Yorkshire
Im sure there will be quite a few involved but it would be real interesting given the situation at Bora this yearAdd in MvDP too, please.
Is this confirmed. Unless they called for neutralisation Movi didnt actually break any rules so this would be crazy
Might not be in the rules but definitely mostly right that so many riders should not be punished for getting caught up in an incident. Total *** move for Movistar to drive the pace when they were not one of the teams on the front of the peloton prior to the crash.Movistar DS Arrieta pretty much accused the UCI of giving carte blanche to the team cars via race radio to motorpace everybody back into the peloton. Which is pretty scandalous if true.
There was hardly any gap though, dont know where they found 3 seconds, max 1 second.

If there is a gap of one second or more between Valverde's back wheel and Van Der Sande's front wheel, the counting time gap is from Bennett's front wheel to that of Van Der Sande.
haha! I totally missed that part. You're right, that would be juicy. Though, I think Bennett's beef is more with Bora than Sagan at this point. He would have known Sagan get's all the races he wants.
Well I guess you could argue that there is that 3x World Champion racing on his own team, Peter something?No doubt. There hasn’t been a guy who is one of the very fastest flat big bunch sprinters while also simultaneously being one of the very best uphill and tough race sprinters in quite a while. Everybody else is only genuinely top tier at one or the other.
Yes he did. And Movistar even stopped pulling in the front when they had Astana with Lopez and 3-4 Bora members.. due to Quintana missing the split.So, I was watching on a very bad connection but did Quintana seriously take a pull in the Roglic group when Movistar had split the race the second time?
