Feels Villeneuve posted:should have seen this coming given how much total gassed poo poo was going on in the leadup stage races The Pogacar crash was just someone not braking in time. It wasnt a lost front wheel or anything as simple like that, some guy just didnt stop in time and took them all out. Roglic too seemed to just suddenly get bulged sidewards like people weren't paying attention to riders drifting back. loving gakked out of their minds.

It's a proper weird one, he's already rotating before he looks to have hit anything.

The effect of all these crashes will make them even more nervous tomorrow and with the time losses already the GC teams will be even more aggressive.

Nothing about the roads looked that bad to me? The road surface looked good, they were wide enough for racing, there wasn't much road furniture.

Marc Hirschi is behind Froome in GC. What the hell is going on with him? In the crashes? E: forgot he crashed on day 1, seems way off the pace now

They were narrow and it was a descent so it was very fast, but yes they weren't super treacherous if the riders weren't so aggressive. But fundamentally there was not enough room for everyone, especially if they were making stupid mistakes like simply not slowing down and crashing into the arse of the guy in front.

looks like Ewan tried to sneak around sagan before that corner and touched a wheel https://twitter.com/tweeternorm/status/1409536231793475584?s=21

Feels Villeneuve posted:I think the main concern was the narrow descent into town where the Pogacar crash happened Yeah that corner looked pretty tricky, although de Gendt just made the point that even an 8km time cutoff wouldn't have helped because all the crashes (apart from the final sprint) were over 10km out.

Also the narrow roads motivate constant fights for road position by both the sprinters teams and the GC teams which means they go through there really aggressively

I was thinking about that today actually because it was just so different. Literally have people just ride onto the verge and drop into the drainage ditches and be really confused how they got there. One of my cycling mates was at a stage of the tour where there was a crash in the last 10k and he ended up with a bottle from it. Said of course he had to try it and it nearly blew his head off.

I don't really understand the riders now saying they wanted the stage neutralized at 8km to go though. If you want that, the big teams should neutralize the race themselves like Jumbo did on stage 1 last year. You can't be battling the sprint trains for road position and then complain. In fact I remember this exact thing happening when CSC neutralized the race at the 2010 tour one year. Feels Villeneuve fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jun 28, 2021 |

Sagan was getting pretty pushy in the final 1k. Looked like Ewan tried to correct after a Sagan bump which forced him to touch wheels. I'd put that on Sagan.

The bump came from Ewan trying to force Sagan off his line behind Merlier’s wheel. Ewan then wound up half-wheeling Merlier on the right and getting chopped when Merlier launched his sprint on the inside of the corner - I don’t see how you put that on Sagan.

MVDP having to thread the needle through the crash at the line. https://i.imgur.com/k2SkZTG.mp4 He slows down when he sees Sagan and Ewan drop, and doesn't get chopped by the rider running wide. Then immediately decides to follow Ala along the barriers while it's still not 100% clear where Sagan's bike is gonna land. at the moment MVDP passes, it ends up being a 2 rider width, but still dicy.
