Good news all things considered. That was a proper fall. Looking forward to seeing more performances, works well with Gibbon imho and it was great to see Gibbons on the front in the closing metres yesterday.

From my limited view, it looked like he hit the barrier, then then the tar.
I wonder if that helped buffer the impact that prevented broken bones?

Phil Bauhaus (bib 63) was the only person fined, for deviating from his line in the final sprint... which looked like twitch at 3:28, or perhaps when he wasbetween Cav and the Movistar rider.

Ballerini fined for stopping to watch the sprint.

Unknown if that was the reason for the fine.

Hi Swiss. Can you provide a link please. The Move now seems to be all about betting. JB Podcast on spotify last episode is a preview of Paris Roubaix. 

Anybody with suggestions for good TDF podcasts please. 

 

I just go to podcasts on my iPhone and search / follow THE MOVE LANCE ARMSTRONG. But Ja there is a lot of other podcasts discussions linked to THE MOVE which is a bit annoying. 
 

I see someone already posted a link

Jeroen is still with UAE Team Emirates.

I moved on from UAE Team Emirates at the end of the 2022 season.

Good to see Pedersen competing for the intermediate sprint today.

Ah right. And presumably you are at Bora now? I think I remember a comment about the Bora team bus a few pages back. Home of my all time favorite breakaway rider: Lennard Kamna. Hopefully he is healing up well.

Yes correct, I am with RedBull-Bora Hangrohe 

Lennard is a great guy and has made incredible progress since his accident

I wonder what the conversations were in the connoisseurs' office after the sprint. Would have taken massive cohones to DQ Cav.

Batman! 🤦🏽
