WTF happened there at the finish - some woman got in the way? Chapeau Remco and well done by young Lenny M.

 

[Salvarani]

A real cyclist would have gone to the podium with a bloody face.

Terry Butcher style.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Remco does a Roglic and no one calls him out for it, it’s brilliant apparently hahaha

Didn't do a Roglic... he sprinted for the win not for 4 bonus seconds.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Someone get a microphone in front of Evenepoel ASAP

A real cyclist would have gone to the podium with a bloody face.

"Touch my nose."

 

[Tricycle Rider]

From head to toe.

I shouldn't laugh, but head and face wounds usually look a lot more serious than they are because there's so much blood.

 

[Panda Claws]

Let's leave this thread for now. So the usual suspects can try to trigger Evenepoel fans.

 

[Reynard]

Impressive from Remco but I'm also really surprised from the numbers other teas had in that elite group. Is the level that even or did the best guys hold back. Vine really brought the heat...

Hope Remco's ok.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Arinsal is a good MTF for sure. 8 km at 8% with some steep pitches. Just today everyone was defensive and wind probably didn't help either.

Mas still so close to this god damn jersey. Damn.

 

[Red Rick]

Nobody beats Vingegaard for 2nd on an MTF sprint

 

[Scarponi]

Didn't do a Roglic... he sprinted for the win not for 4 bonus seconds.

Sure

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

My favorite part of post-stage commentaries is local doughboys sitting on their couches posting post-race advice to pro cyclists who just finished some epic stage.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Kuss could have won the stage if he continued, but unfortunately Jumbo was riding for a Roglic win.

Soler would’ve beaten him is my guess.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Terry Butcher style.

I was thinking more Ric Flair.

 

[nightowl]

Vingegaard has got to be sick of coming second in Grand Tour MTFs

 

[saunaking]

Was Remco at fault there? It looked to me like if he didn't hit the lady, he would gone straight into metal barriers. It looked to me like he turned right while the road continued straight after the finish.

Remco is at fault for freakin' Climate Change around here

 

[Rackham]

If Kuss could have won solo he would have.

Roglic in the replay really messed up his sprint positioning.

I think it was a problem with his legs tbh, with his positioning being a symptom of a physical issue (crash related maybe).

But it's a very long race. Plenty of action to come.

 

[Scarponi]

I was thinking more Ric Flair.

RIP Terry Funk

Bernal pulled G in at +47s

Boy who cried wolf syndrome tbh

 

[Jagartrott]

She was standing behind someone who jumped out the way right before Remco hit her. Remco really should’ve seen the crowd of people and braked, even if the crowd was closer to the line than it should’ve been.

It's going downhill straight after the finish line and there's a bunch of people probably around 50 m or so behind it. Sure, he should've braked harder, but a crowd so close after the finish with nowhere to go for riders, that doesn't seem very smart.

everyone else seem to have avoided crashing after the line though

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Bernal pulled G in at +47s

Every cloud

 

[Bonimenier]

First MTF and our podium in Madrid finish on the first 3 places.

 

[Rob5091]

Reminds me of van Baarle running into an official after the finish at the Vuelta a few years ago, and then was a DNS the next day. It all happens at the Vuleta - good and bad!
