[DNP-Old]

Kelderman +3:39, which will count towards GC.

No, apparently a car got in the way

What? There was no car anywhere near that crash....

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Seems like the gaps in the top-50 won‘t stand.

What? There was no car anywhere near that crash....

Commentators kept on saying something about a team car...

EDIT: I have to amend this now that I've had a chance to watch the replay - what the commentators actually said was Coquard, not something about cars. So, I goofed, the commentators were right my hearing was bad.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Ayuso, Roglic, Almeida , Arensmann, Lenny lost 4 seconds there.

So Roglic getting screwed over continues as they say.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I was hoping for more excitement on this stage.

So we have you to thank for the last 5km...

According to the profiles I've seen, there is a very sharp left turn, more than 90 degrees, with 300m to go, and then the road is uphill to the line. Is not a standard sprint finish

Well spotted ilmaestro, you are a top poster

 

[Landeirovic]

molano didn't do bad at all, did he? normally he would have been 100m longer in 3rd position. only 1 alpecin and van den Berg fell. as a result, Molano had to start his sprint very quickly. too fast. on the flat Molano and Dainese is faster I think.

Seems like the gaps in the top-50 won‘t stand.

Why not? Because of the crash in the last corner? The gaps were made before that.

137

Buitrago Santiago

Bahrain Victorious

+ 02:22​

 

[Tim Cahill]

Caja guy Orluis Aular in the yellow jersey looked pretty legit, maybe lacks the big top end but watching the last few k his positioning by himself was excellent.

I don‘t know, maybe because Roglic couldn‘t wallride through the last corner due to the crash.

 

[Nick2413]

Pretty chaotic finish. Thought Groves was sitting up then pumped the gas again

 

[Izzyeviel]

Goosens crossed the line ten minutes behind Buitrago which is surprising considering he looked a lot better off than Buitrago

 

[movingtarget]

Groves showing Ewan how to do it. Nice win.

 

[balac]

Dunbar lost 1. 33 today, could be one candidate to get red in a break in Javalambre.

Bernal +2:35

Molano is lowkey a really good sprinter. Bad as a leadout man because he's too reckless, but as a sprinter he's worth his money

 

[Mayomaniac]

And unlike Evenepoel yesterday, he wasn't quoting your username right after the finish.

Andorra Remco went from "look wifey, no hands!" to "mistakes were made (but not by me)" really quick.

 

[Red Rick]

Van den Berg headbutting like crazy and then taking a 180 degree corner by apexing about 30 degrees in. That's just not how you corner.

I guess we blame the organisers too for the crash at 4km to go?

I guess we blame the organisers too for the crash at 4km to go?

Well according to Kirby, it was inevitable because the road was so wide.

 

[Netserk]

Kelderman crashed.

Only saw the stage results, so I figured he crashed. Was he down together with Buitrago?

Yes

 

[YavorD]

Alpecin 9 GTs in a row with stage wins.

What's the best streak since the start of the WT?

If I'm not wrong, UAE are at 12 currently. Last time they didn't win a stage was TdF 2019

Just a suggestion, you are free to say no as I am an easy-going guy!
