Bonus Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 16:39:53 CEST Stybar is on the front as Viviani wanted. The peloton is lined out.
Albatross Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 16:32:54 CEST The trio is now racing flat out to try to stay away. They're trying to surprise the peloton but behind they're also flying thanks to a tail wind on the approach to Eilat.Is that a tailwind or downdraught from the chopper
Bonus Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Amazing! One second you're being edged into the barriers, the next second you win the stage. That could have ended very differently.
Patchelicious Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Great sprint by Vivie!! Very crap move by Bennet!
Bonus Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Let's see what the judges say. There wasn't a crash but more by luck than by judgement.
Bonus Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 17:05:32 CEST This is the new general classification after stage 3.

Shell Belle Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Sam Bennett should be called out for that move. Very glad Viviani managed to stay out of trouble - could have ended very differently!
Vetplant Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Rugby referees are more consistent at the breakdown than Race Commisairs at Grand Tours. Sagans move in TDF was not to block but rather to follow. Bennet clearly moved across the entire roadway to try and make Viviani back out instead of playing chicken with the barriers. That could have ended very badly. Bennet should be speaking to the media by now apologizing to his fans and sponsors for being thrown out of the Giro
'Dale Posted May 6, 2018 Author Posted May 6, 2018 Vivianni's composure to shoulder off Modolo and then chase the drunken Bennett and nudge pass him at 57 km/h after 230 kms What a sprinter ????
kosmonooit Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Saw a few Judeans People Front flags though! And even Biggus Dickus was wearing Pink!
Patchelicious Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Looking forward to Gens gymnastics to defend Bennet
Gen Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Looking forward to Gens gymnastics to defend Bennet Ha ha ha.. no defence that was a page out of the Demare's sprint book..lucky not to get a penalty..should've been relegated...thought they had those video refs at these races. PS.. only saw the sprint now now..got distrated and didn't watch the stage. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
