Honestly, they need to rethink sprinting rules or at least enforce the ones already existing. Of the 3 wins, there were 2 where the guy arguably cut of other riders, and 1 where his lead-out was relegated. This is getting dangerous.

[@CycoWarriorx]

Agreed 100%!

[@dankrogholm9774]

Jaspersen shoulda been DNFd on top of this, two extreamly dangerous sprints. No spine from organisers.

[@gregmuon]

Yeah, a rule is a rule, but they aren't enforcing it at all. At this point Philipsen knows he can get away with it every time. It wasn't even remotely subtle this time. He went all the way across the road diagonally until he had Bini against the barrier. He's going to keep using it till someone gets sent to the hospital.

[@frank6250]

@@gregmuon stop whining

[@sudsehun76]

@@dankrogholm9774 this is how they have been sprinting since the begin of the time. ur escape goating an individual rather than attacking the industry that is promoting these behaviours. contrary to popular belief, philipsen isn't getting penalised, not cos uci doesn't have balls or uci favours alpecin or philipsen. it's cos, if they act on philipsen, that would mean they would have to apply the same rules for every one else and take action. that would create disruption in every single race, meaning every race u might have the race winner relegated, that looks bad for publicity. dirty riding is what alaphilipe and evenepoel does, reckless/endangering riders is what groenewegen did. philipsen's just hovering that limit but hasn't crossed it yet.

[@stefanrogers2436]

It's almost exactly what he did to Wout in Stage 3 -- he starts his sprint in the middle of the road and just goes diagonally to slam the door on Girmay. I don't know why they let him do that.

[@sudsehun76]

​@@sudsehun76which would be fine if there wasn't a rule against it AND the uci weren't "trying to keep riders safe" It's the inconsistency that irks everyone. Early 2000s? Shut a door fair game. Now they're worried about crashing and injuries so they say. But they don't do anything unless its irrelevant or someone gets hurt. Jasper will get relegated for pushing someone to the boards when it's too late and they crash and a bunch of riders get hurt. So much for being preventive.

yeah true, it's not just bini going very hard, but it's phillipsen going out if his line, and nearly causing a crash of another rider, the only difference with this incident and the one where Sagan got DSQ from the TDF was that Sagan caused an actual crash, but this move didn't. this should be a DSQ for phillipsen 100%.

UCI should do more to ensure that athletes are able should not get injured or hurt. This’s humiliation. We’re proud of you BINi king 🤴 😢😢😢😢 In the context of an event like the Tour de France, where athletes compete at the highest level of cycling, it is essential to prioritize fairness and respect for fellow competitors. In situations where one person intentionally blocks another person, it goes against the principles of fair play and sportsmanship. To address such situations, I would suggest the following: 1. Clear Communication: It is essential for event organizers to establish clear guidelines and rules regarding blocking behavior. Athletes should be made aware of the consequences and potential penalties for intentionally obstructing or impeding their competitors. 2. Fostering Sportsmanship: Emphasize the importance of fair play, respect, and sportsmanship through ongoing education and training programs. Encourage athletes to compete with integrity and prioritize the spirit of healthy competition. 3. Strong Referee Presence: Ensure that there are sufficient referees and officials throughout the race, actively monitoring and penalizing unsportsmanlike conduct. Referees should have the authority to intervene promptly and impartially when blocking or obstruction occurs, guaranteeing a fair and level playing field for all competitors. 4. Post-Race Review: Establish a post-race review process to thoroughly assess any incidents of intentional blocking. Use video footage and testimonies from involved parties to determine the severity and intent of the action. Penalties or appropriate disciplinary actions should be implemented if necessary. 5. Encourage Respectful Competition: Promote a culture of respect and fair competition among participants, coaches, and spectators. Create platforms for athletes to share their experiences, stories, and values about sportsmanship, highlighting positive role models and their examples. By implementing these suggestions, it is possible to maintain the integrity of competitive events like the Tour de France, fostering a respectful environment where athletes can demonstrate their abilities while upholding the core values of sportsmanship.

If your doubting his ability I suggest you research his career e.g scheldeprijs 2023, champs elysees 2022 Tour de France, Tirreno adriatico 2023, Baloise Belgium tour 2023 stage 1

[@GamerFlair]

He would win sprints. He wouldn't be as consistant. Today for example he would have had to go fully in the wind, as Cav went early and Beni had his wheel. Maybe he still makes it, maybe he just loses out due to not having great positioning going in. How many times in the past have we seen the best sprinter in the world, or the best sprinter in a race, not win the sprint because of less then optimal positioning or just because they just got dealt a bad hand that day. The fuckery they are doing is basically eliminating all those random factors in a way that isn't fair. But at the end of the day, if they aren't going to enforce the rules, this is going to happen and I don't even blame them because they are top level sportsman and they are there to win. If the rules aren't being enforced, it essentially makes what they are doing totally legal and fine. Its super effective, so why not do it. Of course, if the ruling body doesn't do something, it will get out of hand. F1 had a similar situation in 2021 where they didn't enforce rules early on because they didn't want to intervere with results. It got way out of control, esaclated to the point that both parties were just being totally unreasonable and crashes started happening.

DQ, the guy is smart and is firmly aware that he is cutting off another rider to gain advantage in the closing end of a stage winning sprint

[@NathanGuerraTV]

JP found himself in a losing situation, the team dropped him off and he had no where to go. Alp & JP made decisions up to that point to be in that position, with the resources they had to work, and it was about to go sour...as did Bing/Cav with an advantage. JP would not have had Cav's wheel without causing other riders(rider) to deviate from spaces in a sprint that were rightfully their spaces by the rules. Agreed, 100% a relegation, there just is no argument otherwise. JP is really good, and has a strong headed youth for wins. I appreciate that quality...but it's been riding a line of overstepping boundaries in what is fair to win. In this situation totally unacceptable needing penalty. Luckily for everyone Bing seems like he isn't willing to risk damage to himself and others to fight back for that space, from what I have seen he has a spatial/situational fairness barometer that may be holding him back a bit against the no holds bar types in the peloton who are just more willing to risk those split second throw yourself in there moments that just trust someone is gonna move or the heck with consequences.

It's pretty messed up that Jasper wasn't relegated on this stage or on his first win when he did the same thing to Wout, when he majorly deviated from the center of the road while taking advantage of his lead out, but then of course you see him glance over at Wout and crosses over a good 15 feet to push him within inches of the barrier, so Wout has to back off or end up like Fabio at the Tour of Poland in the first stage. You can split hairs about when the official "sprinting" starts as to when to apply a judgement on deviating one's line, but if he's pulled out from behind his lead out then it's safe to say his sprinting has started, and that was also when he moved over 15 feet to use barriers against his competitor. This kicker is when he lost the sprint to Pederson the other day, and only got to make an appearance on the podium for his green jersey, he couldn't muster that smile he flashes when he wins dirty....lousy sportsmanship and behavior.

Case for phillipsen to be relegated was stronger today than in his last win. Shame that there is no consistent enforcement of the rules and that someone has to crash in order for the stewards to take action on dangerous deviations.

[@shida2004]

I was thinking the same. Today One is very clearly blocking.

[@KremlinGremlin_IV]

A focused energy field was sensed by high level officials in the final finish location of stage 7 at the same time Mark Cavendish slipped a gear. We have reason to believe one of the teams may have been involved in unfair mechanical competition that utilized electric pulse waves to induce a shift to the di2 gear system. This matter is currently under investigation.

[@markdonovan1540]

Ok, the first win by Philipsen on stage 3, where he was called in to see the stewards, he wasn't penalised and I agreed with it, despite it being perhaps a relegation offense. It was borderline legal at best, hence he was given the benefit of the doubt. However, I would have thought he might have been given a warning that should it happen again then he would get relegated. And that's exactly what should have happened here. He knew if he stayed in the wind he wouldn't catch Cavendish or Biniam (who was on Cav's wheel), so he'd probably have had to settle for third. However, this is where we see his bullying to push Biniam out from behind Cav's wheel and then from there he gets the drag he needs to pull past both of them. Is this racing? Yes. Does it break any rules? I think it does. Was he relegated? No. This is the problem. No sense having rules if they are not enforced. Philipsen, who is a tremendous sprinter, shouldn't need to do this to win sprints, but he clearly shows no qualms in risking injury to others in order to win. However, regardless of the Philipsen dirty approach, Cavendish lost this in a strange way, he seemed to slip a gear or something that caused him to lose momentum at a crucial moment. As Philipsen had bumped Biriam out by the then, it gave him the ideal opportunity to launch his final power delivery to the finish line. Spectacular TdF never fails to deliver, but it's supposed to be a sport with rules that EVERYONE should be subject to. By not penalising this action, what message are the organisers sending to other riders and the public? It doesn't matter when it suits them? Are other influences at play? Biriam is rightly aggrieved for being barged out of the position he was in in long before Philipsen pulled right to knock him out a bit. It should definitely have been a relegation for Philipsen, especially given this is the second time that it's happened. Biniam was bumped by Van der Poel on stage 4, but there MvdP was relegated. There seems to be an inconsistent application of the rules. The TdF organisers need to take a long hard look at this and themselves.

The UCI should consider it, they are sprinters, they should focus on winning on the last few seconds not engaging in harming each other. If this unlawful move doesn't stop by the UCI , it could cause serious consequences.

[@bencritterson640]

You could also make the argument that these riders that are complaining at the end are getting boxed in due to their own timidity. When they were side by side Jasper had half a bike length on BG. Jasper beat him to the spot, plain and simple. I see your point but I think if you make standard sprint finishes a penalty you are going to have some really boring races.

Agreed, Jasper, Max Verstappen, and Marc Marquez are cut from the same cloth where taking chances with competitors lives are concerned, and they all hope to take advantage using that extra aggressiveness to force others to back off or use their rear wheels to clip the competitors front wheels, and you can guess who's going to lose in that confrontation.

[@Greg-zk7zh]

@@darmaggi Max Verstappen is one of the best Formula 1 drivers right now, Marc Marquez is a 6 time MotoGP champion, so you say, that JP is a great rider?

[@nikolaivermorgen14]

Judging a sprint isn't always as easy as looking for who deviated from their line. Cav starts in the middle and then drifts towards the right hand barrier. Bini is next to Cav but can't match his speed so he tries to tuck into his slipstream. Jasper sees Cav coming and also tries to tuck into his slipstream. So actually they both deviate from their line to follow Cav, who's drifting towards the barrier, and only one can take the slipstream. Jasper gets there first in this case so Bini had to yield. The moment Jasper arrives at Cavs wheel first, Bini's sprint is over. He's boxed in because he didn't have the speed to beat Jasper to the wheel of Cav. After the finish Bini even said there was nothing wrong with Jaspers move, it was just frustration in the heat of the moment. What worries me more is how crooked these barriers look. It's only a matter of time before someone gets caught out by one of those kinks, those are just flat out dangerous.

[@BurgerTime7441]

I think Jasper was taking Cav's wheel no matter how big or small the gap to the next rider was. He saw that was the place to be and decided he was going for it. JP got over next to Cav with his front wheel up level with Cav's rear wheel, So he was in a stronger position to drift backwards and force Bini off the wheel, even if Bini was only had a gap of 1cm between wheels. Personally I don't know exactly where the line is between normal racing stuff and relegation. People are pushing other guys off wheels many many times in the last 10k of the race. Not sure at what point it becomes not ok. Obviously this is the time where it makes the most difference.

I think they are right when they say that you need to crash if you want your opponent to be relegated. And even if that happens, you don't get anything out of it. Alpecin actually deviates twice in that sprint - if the one with Girmay isn't quite enough to get penalized, the one with Pedersen seconds before could have been referred to.
