Rowl Posted July 1, 2021 Share Just me, or was there some deviation in line? Either way, the man is strong. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why, but I don't think it'll come to anything. Edit; should it?

Dirt Tracker Posted July 1, 2021 Share "Dear Dougie..."???? on a different tack... I wonder if Mark could match Eddies record and take home the Green Jersey. Not sure if Patrick could pay those bonuses! Edited July 1, 2021 by Dirt Tracker The Ghost and Vetplant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsw Posted July 1, 2021 Share Alaphilipe yet again nearly rode himself into the ground to help set Cavendish up. Besides being on hell of a bikeracer he is is also a team- man second to none. Pat Levefere might be a bit of a loose cannon but he certainly knows how to gel a team together.

'Dale Posted July 1, 2021 Share Both the Manx Missile and Philipsen deviated from their racing 'lane' however, the maillot vert was slightly ahead and faster at the point of near contact. The Alpecin rider lost his nerve somewhat as he was right in the contest.

Eldron Posted July 1, 2021 Share The drifted together - the Cav a bit more but neither stayed straight to the line. No reason for a protest there.... Koos Likkewaan and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bru Posted July 1, 2021 Share Didn't watch the whole stage so maybe I missed something, but Morkov definitely cut in front of Sagan at the intermediate sprint and forced him into the barrier- probably nothing will come of it because there wasn't a crash. Cav definitely cut in front of the Alpecin boys too - probably nothing will come of it because there wasn't a crash. If these guys are so serious about safety, and want to protest having to ride on straight roads if they're too narrow, why aren't they more up in arms about guys chopping each other in sprints? Is deviating only an issue if the guy you chop crashes? Seems like it's easier to throw stones at the UCI than at each other. (I'm not saying that the course on stage 3 didn't have problems, just that there's clearly inconsistencies in when people throw their toys out the cot) DieselnDust, Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
