shaper Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Jury has made its decision... no matter how many opposing conjecture one can find.... decision is made and final!
Riamich Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Yea another day at the office for the guys...This pic shows clear that Cav was already off balance before the elbow.
Vetplant Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Ja also look here.. when the elbow comes out.. look at his left leg..also out trying to balance. Take a look at @Laura_Meseguer's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Laura_Meseguer/status/882300130686377985?s=09 Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkJust a pointer, forget about the elbow, the elbow didn't cause the crash. Look in that video at the lines of Sagan and Cavendish. Cavendish is trying to go parallel to the barriers, Sagan is coming across him. Sagan's momentum coming across is what caused the crash. All we as spectators ever want is consistency from the referees. The president has been set with this decision, now you'd better be willing to do the same if DeMare does the same in the future... And like Gen said, you'd better come down hard on those sticky bottles and rear derailleur adjustments by Astana!

nochain Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Well the race jury better be flippen consistent this year if they plan on applying rules . Sticky bottles, drafting, illigal feedimg etc etc etc.. everyone better get fined sommer on the spot. Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkThink it was a very harsh call by the race to DQ. He clearly was in the wrong but we have seen many crashes like that before.Taking away points for me was fair but this I think is way too much.

Sniffie Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I don't know anything about how such a sprint should work and what's sportmanlike and what isn't but this chap seems to me to be making sense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvaszAfJyPgThe TdF mafia blocked the video.
Vetplant Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 K, let's try to move this along... The GC top 10 list is still not indicative of what we will see in Paris. EBH up in 4th with Matthews in 3rd, that is definitely going to be be way different after the finish tomorrow afternoon. First indication of what the GC contenders have in their tanks. You probably won't win the Tour tomorrow but you certainly can lose a lot of ground if something goes wrong with no backup around.
coppi Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Not following the tour but I cry mafia BSCav was already falling before sagan's elbow came out. I would argue he was protecting him so that cav didnt take him out as wellThat is my opinion too.......Sags could see from the corner of his eye that Cav was falling and was maybe trying to protect himself?

Patchelicious Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Jury has made its decision... no matter how many opposing conjecture one can find.... decision is made and final!Oh I didn't know their decision on Sagan influenced my right to debate the topic.... good to know.
Sniffie Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 would someone mind telling me what this is about?Unfair assistance from the team car. Handing over the bottle and hanging on by the rider in order to get some free wheeling and even a slingshot effect back in to the slipstream of the bunch. Also adjusting the rear derailleur, the rider holds on to the team car.
lechatnoir Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 and the Hub loses its collective mind... not sure the sponsors or the TdF is served well by 'just sommer' ejecting the world's premier bike rider. anyway, if it's not been said already, here it is... 'Spez riders eh?' <ducks for cover while cackling with laughter>
