What seems interesting was the interaction between the friendlies aka Pog and Rog, marking each other to the point of not working together. However both looked comfy and in good shape.

You can't win the tour on day 1, but you can lose it....

lechatnoir Posted June 26, 2021 Share Well that was disappointing. I'm left feeling like I felt after the '99 CWC at Edgbaston. Rowl and DJuice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there's a touch of wheels or someone slides out on a wet corner, I kind of see it as part of the race and the reason why you need to stay in the front of the pack to stay safe. But I hate seeing spectators influence the race. Reminds me of when Nibali crashed on Alpe D'Huez because his handlebar got caught on a spectators camera strap. In my mind, it's the difference between a rugby player getting injured in a tackle vs getting injured because a spectator ran on the field and clubbed him with a bat.

I think most of these GC time losses are linked to the 2nd crash, which seemed to be from a touch of wheels.
