Pah Bear Posted July 4, 2017 Share Sagan went after the gap opened up by the fast moving Demare. Unfortunately that was the line already being followed by Cav. Door closed and nowhere to go. Mixed feelings on this one. Would hate to lose Sagan. Hope Cav, Swift and Degenkolb can continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsw Posted July 4, 2017 Share So Sagan is now all the way down in 23rd place in the green jersey competition with only 15 points. Ouch. Sagan told the pres yesterday that it is not important whether he wins the green jersey or not as there are much more important things in life so he should not be too concerned about being demoted to 23rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted July 4, 2017 Share So Sagan is now all the way down in 23rd place in the green jersey competition with only 15 points. Ouch.Yip.. if he thought it would be hard winning the green jersey before..this is only going to make it harder..they punished him where it hurts..going to be very very hard.. almost impossible. .Demare and Matthews are also on fine form.

Sharkie 2 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Point is in a sprint you keep your line...no drifting or closing gaps or bull**** like that you KEEP your LINE! Whether it was the elbow or not the gap got closed. Sprints obviously get heated and judgements go out of the window. Track riders know this rule well and it works out most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Marley Posted July 4, 2017 Share Anyone saying there wasn't enough space needs to look at the aerial view from behind. It's clear as day. There was ample space and Cav had every right to be there. You can argue Sagan blocking him off is part and parcel of sprinting and I don't really have much of an issue but the elbow should be automatic DQ.

Dissapointed in Sagan [emoji17] Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkWell I guess this means we might see a lot more of Sagan in the breakaways on the less than flat stages to pick up all the intermediate sprint points he can. Edit - scratch that. Now that he is DQ'd we won't see him at all unless Bora launches a successful appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nochain Posted July 4, 2017 Share Im sorry, but 1second makes a difference. Before all that there was loads of space. IMG_0079.PNGJa that is the money shot...loads of space and Cav always had the line..Sagan came across..It's very clear..no use sayin what was Cav thinking.Only one guy at fault here and he got punished for it, so now we can only hope Cav can race on.

SL7 Posted July 4, 2017 Share There was only one gap and Sagan was going for it. Cavendish got closed out. The elbow wasn't to hit Cav, it was just to create an illusion that there's no space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
