Vollering rarely gets support from SD Works. Usually has to fight against her own team. No wonder she's leaving. Best GC rider and they don't give AFs about her. Imagine UAE doing this to Pogi

[@Liofa73]

Who knows what goes on within the team. Especially after the debacle with that sprint finish at the Strade Bianche when Vollering was yelling at Kopecky.

[@nextube_owner]

@@Liofa73what happened there I think I missed it

[@kestralrider313]

interesting tactics from SD Works, I wish Chris Horner would provide some race analysis on this stage. I can see letting Vas stay up in the breakaway, but why was Demi V. not immediately surrounded by her team, taking the wind for her and helping to minimize losses?

[@BrewsGamesRides]

Check out Lanterne Rouges commentary, they talked about this the past two days, bummer.

[@faiznasruddin6596]

Chris Horner has the worst takes consistently. Just because you keep calling people knuckleheads doesn't make you right. Listen to Lantern Rouge for better race analysis

[@Dexter037S4]

@@faiznasruddin6596 To be fair, in this case, SD Worx were a bunch of knuckleheads.

[@kestralrider313]

@@faiznasruddin6596 Respecfully, from one cycling fan to another, my own experience is that Chris' analysis is dead on every time and he's see things that I haven't watching the same race, but admittedly he's biased towards a GC point of view. His constant use of Knuckleheads is probably why he's not on NBC, he's often not polite or PC in his language. I have watched LR many times including his coverage of this stage, he's a pleasant young commentator, but his insight and experience is not even close to Horner's. Horner's personality and bluntness might rub some the wrong way, but I haven't heard anyone saying that he doesn't know what he's talking about relative to race analysis.

[@swisstopia]

@@faiznasruddin6596 My man Chris Horner, fell off the chesterfield. Lantern Rouge? 😂

[@mamilx6607]

Feel bad for Vas because the biggest thing people will remember about this stage is how incompetent SDworx was.

[@hansolo2121]

Leaving their team leader and defending TDF winner in the dust after crashing.... Like she is nothing to them. How stupid can a team be??? Or is SD WORX just saying "f**k you" to Demi for leaving them next year?

[@santiagobenites]

They should have at least had Lorena Wiebes drop back to help her.

[@arginchik]

That’s exactly what I thought. It feels like SD Worx is retaliating.

[@santiagobenites]

@@arginchik I don't think that it's retaliation, because teams just don't do that to their best rider, but I do think that it's very poor communication in the team.

[@JanneBernards]

@@arginchik Why on earth would a team sabotage their own chance at winning the TDF? Please think things through before saying them.

[@arginchik]

@@JanneBernards I’m not saying they actually tried to sabotage her chances. It just seemed liked that to me considering she’s leaving the team. That’s the first thing crossed my mind while watching the race. And obviously I don’t have any actual evidence for that. Although I don’t think SD WORX actually tried to sabotage Valoring’s chances, but this has happened before in other teams. Do you remember the power struggle between Contador and Armstrong in 2009 TDF? Or that bad PR (or whatever it was) then Jumbo Visma managed to pull last year during the Vuelta or the badger sabotaging Le Mond’s chances at ‘85 TDF. There are many examples of in fightings like these. So I did think before commenting considering the pro peloton’s history. I agree with @santiagobenites on poor communication though.

[@holdenmcgroin8699]

I wonder which is more important for SD Worx than winning TdF or just a stage?

[@radosawjastrzebski9237]

Brawo Kasia ❤

[@ZENmud]

On your Big American rival's "Extended Highlights" video, one comment offered that one teammate was leading "without a working radio" and one (Wiebes) had caused Demi's fall, and all other teammates were way behind Vollering. I'll be glad to see Demi leave that team.

[@nieuw1979]

Ah man I feel sorry for Demi, not only has she has to fight the biggest competitors in the world she also has to do it without a team. /sadface

[@TarsoBsAs]

Yeah, that's crazy dumb from SD. Imagine the atmosphere in the bus and at the team dinner... Hope Demi will show them that she can win without them. If she's not not hurt she's by far the best rider in the TDF. Even without a team to help

[@Liofa73]

@@TarsoBsAs -- I don't think the atmosphere with the team and Vollering has been good since that Strade Bianche finish, where Vollering was yelling at Kopecky.

[@TarsoBsAs]

@@Liofa73 Yeah but somehow they put it under the carpet...until today. For the first stages you couldn't feel that the situation was that bad

[@Idntrmmbryou]

Commentary says stage 5 but caption says stage 4

[@_Tp___]

I said that as I clicked, I thought we were at stage 5?

[@J.H.Caulfield]

@@_Tp___ We are, I think people are a bit confused because stages 2 and 3 happened on the same day.

[@androschpandrosch1273]

really? Thanksfor clarification

[@napstar4427]

@@androschpandrosch1273yep, they had a normal stage early in the day and then a 6K TT later on Tuesday

Vas Blanka ❤🎉 Amazing!

[@oblio9147]

Only SD Works can stop Vollering

[@scoresandflames]

Gratula Blanka! Fantasztikus éved van, csak így tovább!

[@jamesschofield7275]

Why announce the winner of the sprint just as it's starting! STOP THE SPOILERS!!!

[@swisstopia]

The radios weren’t working at the moment of the crash? 🧐

[@samsunga13oler]

Катерина Вперёд

[@voegelm]

Wow- that's worse than the stuff Movistar pulls off....and that says a lot! SD Works seems to have a toxic work environment...Great way to promote womens cycling....

[@7081_H]

Wiebes hits her captain who is fighting for the GC and doesn't wait for her? I have never seen that in men cycling.

[@alfredokennedy7904]

Lets go kristen

[@IronMaidenQc]

Wait a second, was the rider behind Demi that hit her in the curve a Sd Worx rider ??

[@nieuw1979]

Wiebes hit her sadly

[@mamilx6607]

Yes and she proceeded to ride off and leave her team GC leader on the pavement

[@LeonIneke]

Stage 4 or stage 5???

[@bartlangehaar9615]

Again a cyclo crosser win.

[@sergeynkv]

This just leaves bad taste in your mouth… I hope vollering wins, but I don’t think I will be watching that

[@samisimi4470]

It's a shame for Blanka, that she won the race, while everybody will only remember that this was the day when Demi crashed...I feel sorry for Demi too, I hope that she'll be able to fight back. But c'mon - this is racing, everybody crashes sometimes. Just two weeks ago crash at the Olympics took away the chances from most competitors left in front and nobody complains...

[@djtaner07]

You have no idea what people are complaining about...

[@nem3th]

All womens stages are quite chaotic as in evey stage there been one or more group crash in peloton so far. Wich is unfortunate.

[@samuelthompson5094]

Which is the same as most men’s stages.

[@rlm4471]

The women must be emulating Roglic.

[@eduardoschneider2010]

A guy would not let you down like Vollering team mates. that behavior is very feminine.

[@robin-kq7un]

Sorry guys - nobody is REALLY interested in the women's tour. The men's tour is where it's at.

[@johndd8186]

The crowds--actually the lack thereof--bear this out.

[@Dexter037S4]

@@johndd8186 Rotterdam and The Hague were PACKED for those two days, buddy. It's only because of the lack of infrastructure in the areas they are heading through, plus a ton of people being in Paris.

[@rlm4471]

It's not a competition. Also, why are you here if you don't care about this race?

[@kyle_c936]

Sorry, pal - nobody is REALLY interested in your opinion (or even at all, actually). Why don't you just give it up? And what is even your point - that men are somehow superior to women and therefore women are somehow irrelevant - are you REALLY that insecure? In case you didn't notice, and I'm sure you didn't because you're too blinkered and bigoted, this year's women's RvV and LBL were ridiculously more eventful and exciting than the equivalent men's races, which were pure borefests - plenty of men's races are wildly exciting, just not these. But hey, keep being a relic.
