I only understand what I saw after I hear from Chris.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Bam 👊🦋

[@RonHaskell]

Chris Horner Butterfly Effect breakdowns got me like, “It’s the MOST wonderful tiiiime of the yearrrrr.”

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

😂👊🦋🇫🇷

[@rachelee8801]

For all of the (well-deserved) hype over the 4 titans coming into this year's TDF, it's been thrilling to see Bardet, Vauquelin, and Girmay win stages!

[@autorelight]

Long may it continue... been fabulous so far!

[@rjhawkins6538]

Still frame breakdowns? No thanks. Until you see the genius of the Horner family. Absolutely nothing is lost by not having moving pictures. And yes, the arrow game is STRONG!

[@tinmachine693]

Without question the best arrow on KZbin

[@joehopfield]

Bini reminds me of Sagan's smart sprint -surfing. He used his team's lead out as almost a decoy

[@StephGorz]

Congrats to Bini and the tiny country of Eritrea! You have a great hero. We all all celebrate with you!

[@keren7]

Thanks we are over the moon

[@markopodganjek845]

Tinny? Maybe in african terms. It has 117.000km2 and 3,6mio inhabitants. Denmark 43.000 km2 and 6mio.

[@eyubkfela8982]

Tiny 😂

[@Zek_Ken]

It was really poetic that Girmay won a stage in Italy. It was agonizing to see him crash out of the Giro after struggling so much to get back on his bike following his first crash. Italy wasn't finished with him yet!

[@wildly_heather]

I see there was a fire sale on arrows, and Garrett took advantage 🤣

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Yes he did. 😂🦋👊

[@manfredseidler1531]

OK family... quiet in the house and the computer is mine, Chris just posted his take on the Tour de France

[@BrainyExplains]

AMAZING FACT ABOUT ERITREAN CYCLING. 105,000 tickets was sold out for the final stage of 1997 Tour of Eritrea. The Eritrean National Championship always has around 5500 spectators at the finish line. Cycling is National Sport of Eritrea.🇪🇷

[@alpsalish]

Is it an Italian thing?

[@shenenzeybl]

​@@alpsalish you can say legacy

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

Been watching some gravel and bike pack events in Rwanda, South africa and its obvious that a Tour de Africa would be an absolute fantastic event

[@soothinghaven6745]

I remember the 1997 tour Eritrea, it was a very big event. Bini got the opportunity at early age, I believe there was/is a lot of Binis in Eritrea. Climbers like Desalegn Negash and Dawit Mehari, sprinters like Yonas Zecarias and Senay Tsegay.

[@huruyomer2772]

Finally, Chris what took you so long!! I waited for so long this time or I felt it long wait maybe. Biniam victory is now complete after your video. I am happy Eritrean ever today. ❤

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Bini delivered. 🇪🇷😃🦋👊

[@charlestoddsullivanforpres6628]

I don't know why Visma changed their colors. I can't find them out there now.

[@elaineoconnell2344]

They did it last year too. Just tdf to distinguish from yellow jersey.

[@TheGotoGeek]

The TdF doesn’t allow the yellow jerseys because is too easy to confuse them with the maillot jaune. Same thing with EF and the Giro

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Ag2R and IP/t are impossible almost to tell the difference until the video is super clear. Visma I just assume that if the ride is blue and at the front, it’s Visma. 😂🦋👊

[@charlestoddsullivanforpres6628]

@@TheGotoGeek That's true but in the other years they still had some black and yellow and made it easier to track them. New kit looks like urban camo to me.

[@diggsfather]

last year’s black jersey with a hint of yellow was gorgeous. so was 2021’s with the rocky grey. but both jerseys retained yellow as a secondary color so i dont get why they didnt do that here

[@jerrycornelius4534]

Arrow work - 🔥!!!

[@gobears6487]

Garrett is the bomb.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

That’s Garrett 🦋👊

[@wildly_heather]

Also, while Carapaz and EF did work to stay at the front before the crash, Tadej literally tried to give the yellow to Remco yesterday. Neither he nor Jonas were interested in having to do extra protocol by wearing the jersey.

[@johnshepherd2666]

That lady in pink ...on the side of the road ....was a knucklehead...😅😅😅

[@fredtatch1572]

I loved the bike leaning sprint wobbles matching so well. If they had been out of phase Bini wouldn’t have had enough room to get through. Good to see the yellow jersey pass also. Love your live action insights!

[@byronservies4043]

It's too good. Signing up for Peacock. Also, #TeamArrow because it makes the recap understandable (no really, I appreciate it)

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Garrett loves the arrows magic. 👊👍🔥🦋

[@StephenChenney]

The best bit at the start was Abrahamsen rolling off the front for a few km then literally stopping to wait for the bunch when he needed to take a "nature break".

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

If you got to go 😂🦋

[@Chiller11]

This year has seen a great opening I think. Three unexpected stage winners with emotional finishes. Tomorrow will be interesting watching the GC guys lock horns in the mountains.

[@elialexander-tanner5784]

[@hernanhernandez3861]

Huge win for Bini, Africa, Intermarche....

[@or9481]

Wow, quick turn-around on this episode. Thank you.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

[@richmartin1427]

Nice breakdown as always Chris. I was a bit sad that Cavendish had a mechanical that took him out of the stage, but it was great to see Girmay win, especially after that horrific crash he suffered in the giro.

[@jeffschmid2538]

His mechanical wasn't the issue. He and team (except Ballerini) got caught behind that last crash. There was a video where he stated that exactly.

[@patrickwong4824]

Agreed it was boring as fuck till the end. Everyone has to remember how hard the first two stages were. They were all recovering by sleep-riding. Surprise there wasn’t a bigger crash during the race from lack of attention.

[@LABoyko]

@patrickwong4824. HEY! Watch your language.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Yep. Snooze and the on fire. 💤🦋👊🔥🇫🇷

[@janbregar2561]

What do you think of the 3 km rule being moved forward to 5 km yesterday, Chris? To me it looked like it worked

[@recrevs963]

This is huge for Bini as he also has Giro stage. Tadej was probably glad Billy Carapaz took the jersey so he can deal with all the interviews and ceremonies. Today's stage 4 will be fire. Great job breaking down the stage!

[@robinbeckford]

So many 'what-ifs' here. The crash seems to have disrupted some of the sprint teams. Then MVDP taken out with a technical. Somehow it opened up for Girmay, who only had one path to the line. He grabbed his opportunity and went for it.

[@h20s8804]

Bini! So awesome. I would like to hear some story time about Lotto days with McEwen. That jersey is unreal.

[@telapreta9795]

I was celebrating Bini the rest of the day, and with your beyond the cover on him, and how good he can be, I supose U too Thanks Chris and garrett, fine work of you too as always

Hey Chris. Did Phil Ligget have any idea a sprint to the finish line was happening? It was bad. He needs to go along with Bob roll. They add nothing

Phil wants to make a good call but it just isn’t happening anymore. The pair do describe the countryside cathedrals well though.

[@chrisconrad1234]

Great finish today!! Super stoked that Girmay finally got a stage !! Hope he gets many more. Super happy that Carapaz wearing Yellow, probably not for long. But now maybe J Vaughters can stop complaining about other teams being greedy about winning so much. I know it's only stage 3. But does it seem like everyone is really waiting for the TT to put the official hurt on???

Couldn’t be happier for Bini. Also for Romain who has had a great career. Thanks Chris. The Tour is even better with your reviews

[@ruimarques4149]

Pleease review Ayuso's 4th stage childish, greedy and sly behavior, not working as a team. 😡 This is not what is asked to a men of work. I really liked to see Almeida gesticule Ayuso to pull in front of the group. I hope the spanish rider change his way off ride but it looks Matxin liked it 🤔

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

I've always felt that in sprint finishes, it's the sprinter's job to be there or there-abouts on the wheels of their leadout riders. This frequent looking back and subsequent sudden pulling up/out, can be dangerous. A bazillion years ago in a smaller pro/am road race in New Jersey I was a Cat 2 with leadout duties on my team. Coming into the finish I was on the front and I had the field strung out. I give a quick glance and see the Navigators pro team on my wheel. I had to trust that "my guy" was close enough, and so I kept on the gas if for no other reason than to keep things safer for the field there at the front.

[@anonjp-f7r]

Stage 3 was one of the most boring TdF stages I've ever suffered through. It only got interesting in the last 1000 meters. Thank goodness we have a real stage tomorrow on the Col du Tourmalet.

[@mattpotter8725]

But harsh calling Biniam Girmay a floater!!! I think he's a bit more than that. Don't know if in the US a foster is called the same as here in the UK, something that is still there after you flush, if you know what I mean. Never heard this term before.

[@alpsalish]

Veni, vidi, bini.

[@luisrauldefreitas]

I think Mads "felt" Gaviria coming up his left and as he moved the bike to the left Girmay got that nice opening for the win! Perhaps if mads stays close to the barriers Gaviria wins tho

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Curious that MVDP couldn't catch the peloton after his bike change. I assume the DS told him to forget it because Jasper was held up from that crash, so there was no point wasting energy if Jasper didn't need a lead out. I'm not clear on the timeline of how all of this unfolded.

[@eljanrimsa5843]

He tried, and came down to 33 seconds at one point but then they went so fast the gap grew again, and he gave up with 2-3 km to go iirc

[@swissbiggy]

The peloton rides at 65 km/h at that point, no rider on his own can close that gap of 45 seconds anymore.... Since the rider will need to ride at 70 km/h for several km's... And nobody can do that....

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

It just wasn't Alpecin's day. Coming into the final stretch, Mathieu having a mechanical and Jasper getting held up due to a crash.
