[@AdamFoster]

Yeah, he's a really dirty sprinter, and it seems endemic to that entire team.

[@fautqucabele2070]

Did you see the video? When did Philipsen shut the door on Girmay? I don't even understand why LR chose this title?

[@AdamFoster]

@@fautqucabele2070 It's about the intermediate sprint. He won the line out and out, but the intermediate was weird.

[@dan-sc7fm]

It's his modus operandi.

[@otisjfarnsworth]

I have to wonder if team leaders are telling their sprinters: “don’t get between Philipsen and the barrier”.

[@semereabghebre4325]

Bini must beware of Jesper Philipsen and Mathieu Van der Poel, both of whom put him under pressure last year. Also today he blocked from Philipsen, so must be he careful, there is no point in him being penalized if Philipsen or Van der Poel knocks him down. Bini Protect yourself. Be careful, God be with you.

[@yerdanos1180]

Amen God will Protect him 🙏🙏🙏🇪🇷🇪🇷

[@sibusisobuthelezi2427]

The fact that he sprints whilst looking back seems like his same old dirty tricks. He knew someone was behind him and pretended to look the other way. He could see that he's ahead of the guys on his left and veered towards the barriers coz no one can pass there (they'll just crash like Fabio).

[@flyingturtle4559]

Why the hell are you bringing Fabio into the discussion? You do realize it was Dylan Groenewegen who put Fabio Jacobsen into the barriers that caused his horrific injuries? DYLAN GROENEWEGEN. As far as I know people hate on Jasper because he won 4 stages last year though the relegation on the earlier stage was proper.

What kind of idiots set the barriers? Over and over they wind up with barriers that squeeze in right in the last few meters. ASO/UCI are a big part of the problem. Someone needs to call them out.

[@sean7098]

sponsor barriers began.... as he said in the video.

[@Will-sv9mf]

@@sean7098 but why do the bottoms not stay in line? why squeze the most dangerous part of the race?

[@yesno9374]

​@@sean7098The race organisers put out the barriers though, not the sponsors haha. It's still those people who are responsible

[@AdamFoster]

@@yesno9374 The point Sean was making is that the sponsor barriers are different. But essentially the barriers changed to being on an angle instead of vertical. These are used in sprints so wheels don't hit the feet of the barriers. It is also unsafe to assume that they are put out by the organization, rather than a contracted local rental company or some such.

[@yesno9374]

​​@@AdamFosterI understand what he was saying. I think the point of the original comment (and what I think) is the feet of the standard barriers should align with the bottom of the sponsor barriers so that the effective width of the course does not change when the barriers change. Additionally, I would say that if a contractor is putting the barriers out for the organiser then they are acting in proxy for the organiser, so I treat them as the organiser (the organiser should check setups are safe if they are outsourcing them).

Yes. And Gaviria. MVDP let him loose in the middle and his fastest and closest way to finish was just straight. He still goes straight for the barriers

[@coles9037]

It seems like Philipsen always goes to the barrier like it’s his default. No one was there this time but he didn’t know that. He automatically shuts down either the left or right.

[@allardvenema9281]

Also in the final sprint for the win, after MvdP's lead out he naturally swerves to the right out of habit it seems. Although this last sprint was more clean and there were no unpredictable movements, I still think it's unnecessary.

[@RobParkinVideo]

It's clearly a tactic, reduces the amount of people who can come around him but it's super dangerous.

[@fikretewolde9670]

Philiphsen"s team as a whole tends to shut riders way out I think Philiphsen dit it to Biniam deliberately.

@@rejdythat may be true. However, I think if he changes his training from cyclocross and classic riding to sprint training , he could be an amazing sprinter. But why should he, you can’t win monuments then, anymore. Just no “glory” wins at grand tours but can deliver his sprinter perfectly. Is also a form of glory in my opinion.

[@bgnaddrian9596]

They should add a line that deviates 0.5m from the barriers, and if you cross it/make someone cross it there should be penalty. They should also have the balls to kick out philipsen. Seems almost corrupt that he is still in the race.

Jasper moves to his rt, to the barriers Bini had been plenty of room to sprint going left, but did not The road narrows down dangerously at finish line. Another dangerous course. Riders union again goes zero If Jasper had gone rt just a little bit more, probably relegated, perhaps kicked out. He came close but this time was just barely ok, when he shut down wva the other day, that swerve was more severe and blameworthy

[@danielgeld9813]

Love the analysis about the gaps in the peloton, it really helps when watching races live. If you have any more tips like that please share!!

Wouldn't have been surprised if Bini had been relegated. His move on Ackerman was pretty foul.

Warning should be issued to Bini, so if he does it again its also a dsq like they did to Jasper. Warn first, issue the dsq afterwards. Hope UCI holds true

[@quirijnv6793]

The game's the game. Shutting the door is a strategy that works, which is why every good sprinter does it. I distinctly recall Cav in his prime sprinting while swerving uncontrollably, often taking out other riders mid sprint, and he's the most respected sprinter of the modern era. If guys riding fast in a line is what you're into, go watch the hour track record or something, bunch sprints are tactical fights as much as they are tests of pure speed.

[@psj1110]

In the final sprint I especially felt that he closed the door on Gaviria…

[@christinepeters3855]

from day one, you are taught to sprint to the finish to one side. make anyone passing you pass into the wind. even if there is no wind, block one side, so you don't give an easy draft for 2 people to pass you on both sides. sprinting 101.

[@julianengel492]

What do people think about Philipson saying that he was portrait as the antagonist on the second netflix series? I feel like on the one hand it was very clear that they pictured his interviews worse (e.g. by showing his statement of being the best sprinter in the world over and over again) on the other hand he does things like in this video all the time. Even bullying another rider from another team to not create a breakaway. So does anyone have a full picture?

[@keirfarnum6811]

I don’t think he did it on purpose. As LR mentioned, when he looked left, it caused him to drift right and shut out Bini. On the other hand, Bini probably would not have been able to get it even if he did have clear road. Phillipsen just had too good a lead-out from MVDP. Just my $0.02.

[@ኤርትራዊዩደመይ]

Really 😂

[@erikhalvorsen7654]

There is a difference between Bini´s move in the end and Jaspers at the intermediate. Bini coming from behind just moves to the right almost chopping Ackerman. In the intermediate there is a move to the right from jasper but Bini is already going for a gap that does not excist. So if any Bini is the one who perhaps should have been punished for endangering others today

[@barriobarranco]

The "Barge Brothers" (MVDP and JP) should be well avoided..."The Pinball Hazard (not Wizard)" would be a good nickname, MVDP fires him out and where he goes and who he hits is anyone's guess...!

[@Haeron93]

Not to mitigate Phillipsen’s actions but isnt Girmay moving up on the right there incredibly dangerous? Could it be that Phillipsen saw the barriers getting narrower so assumes no one would move up on the right because of the lack of space, whereas Girmay wouldnt have seen the barriers and makes the jump?
