The parcours in the last 5km was mental. Don’t see the point of that - there’s no sport in people losing time because they crashed on a nasty chicane or whatever.

Thought it was a bit harsh for Viviani given that no one fell off, but then Sagan was DQ from the Tour when a not much worse swerve caused Cav to crash out. Maybe a shot across the bows from the commissaires?

Seems harsh but fair to me, I would’ve just let him have it if it was me

As at an ‘outsider’ the pro cycling sprint finish rules seem to me a bit like offside or handball in football, so much of it is ambiguous and open to interpretation that no one can ever be quite sure of what their tactics should be. Do the rules need clarifying? Tightening? Relaxing?

ooh big crash outside the 3km. lots of gc riders distanced.

think tommy d might be injured

#51

Tom loses over 4 minutes. Think most of the other gc riders finished 20-30 seconds behind roglic, but waiting confirmation.

#52

yates only 16 seconds down on roglic

#53

Yep, in a group with Nibali, Lopez, Jungels and a few others.

Ouch.

Surprised sunweb didnt let oomen try and limit his losses instead of shepherding td over the line with the rest of the team. Guess he’ll be going for stages if tom leaves.

#56

looks like something out of a Halloween costume ffs

#57

cheers salvatore puccio, you’ve totally fucked my velogames team up

#58

He’s not even in my team but it will be really annoying if Tommy D goes out because of this (it’s pretty annoying that he’s lost 4 mins)

Seems like there was an untelevised crash shortly after the Puccio-initiated one, which is where Yatesy and Tommy went down

Landa blamed Yates for it, then retracted his comments a little later.

Yates isn’t making many friends this tour, is he??
