I’m calling it now. G is warming up his sprint. He’ll then show up at the Tour and act as a surprise set-up for Cav to get his 35th stage. Nothing can convince me otherwise.

[@dan3565]

That would be sublime.

[@raphael6953]

35

[@gregor9921]

I do you one better, he attacks every stage for the intermediate sprint and goes for green himself 😂

[@secretagent86]

I thought i saw today that cav is not well and might not be able to race again

[@johnmakin-shaw3516]

@@raphael6953thank you. I’m an idiot.

Lotta Hayters in the comments

[@Judewilkinsonjfk]

He is frustrating for me as an Ineos fan/sympathiser. Very strong rider, very talented, but never seems to win!

[@herscheldoby7323]

Bro, imagine getting a monster leadout from two TdF winners and getting frickin seventh. I would be so ashamed lol

[@MikeAG333]

They weren't anywhere near sprinting when G pulled over. You can't (generally) have a GC guy, alone, do an effective lead-out. They needed a sprinter to take over from G, and have Hayter follow him.

[@osfan25]

I know he’s only 25 but at what point do we accept that Hayter just isn’t going to make that leap to the next level.

[@Fyr35555]

@@osfan25 he's like the wish version of Wout van Aert

[@albr4]

@@MikeAG333 yes but this happens all the time to the top sprinters, their leadout ends too early and they have to quickly find the right wheel to follow, but the key difference is the fact that he's not a sprinter and clearly just doesn't have the power, even if he had a perfect leadout it's pretty clear he would've been overtaken by multiple riders before the line.

[@PolarRed]

they probably told G he was leading Cav out today

[@jungmo7576]

if G lead cav on tdf sprint stage I would fucking cry.

[@urbanjungle9600]

i am with you on that one brother ❤

[@rebeccabertrand3335]

Don't know why, but I'm loving seeing G do lead outs

[@orangeorphan]

What’s with the invisible intermediate sprint lines at this race?

[@harrisonsearle7442]

10/10 content

[@bullten5416]

Axel Laurence was pointing to Paret-Peintre saying "Il veut pas travailler, il veut pas bosser" meaning "He doesn't want to work, he does't want to hustle". That may be because Ag2r were not helping to pull in the front.

[@jasonpatrick2875]

Love the vids, you're awesome👌🏾

[@cb6866]

Thank you

[@BreakawayB]

Dang, I’ve never even heard of this winner. That’s a nice sentence.

[@swissbiggy]

Great work by the young Dutch kid.... He's not that well known yet by a lot of cycling fans, despite his 23 top ten results last season, and again four top ten results in his first five race days of this season (Mostly in smaller races.). If he keeps on improving the way he did the last few seasons, he is certainly gonna win a lot more races.

[@oliverrch5370]

I'm putting money on G going for the GC in the giro then throwing a curve ball and going for the Green jersey at the Tour.

[@CelixFat]

Would love to see that

[@EpeP-qs9xb]

100% never happening.

[@jaydeister9305]

Geraint Thomas pulling the whole peloton(200 guys) for a few kilometer lead out, well that's a pretty superman-ish level effort!

[@TheFlowZoneX]

Can someone explain the dynamics of de gent dropping / teaching a lesson to old mate & these other references made by Patch re letting Ganna win a stage and teaching some other bloke a lesson

[@michalbenyskiewicz9447]

De gent and Andersen dropped the fella from caja because he wasn't leading in a breakaway, I didn't know Ganna was there to be honest.

[@super8hell]

I think it was just an effort session for G. Hayter did not contest the sprint. Shame. I don't know what to make of this guy. Sometimes I think that the changes in Grenadiers are making things difficult for the talented guys to thrive. I hope I'm mistaken.

Are you covering e3 at all?

[@ShawnStradamus520]

Sprinter Kuss! #DurangoKid

[@RubenTheCartographer]

The Dutch Grand Tour specialist are very very thinly spread currently, Kruijswijk and Doumelin where the last to be honest. BUT in the sprinter field, my o my, we are on top!

Morkov overrated, MVDP is easily the best lead out man in the world

[@michaelsteele5495]

37 Born May 25, 1986.. you can't have a 38 y/o leading your sprint train. Ineos is in bad shape, have they won a race this year?

[@craiggreen4388]

I doubt that was a pre planned team decision. Just G testing himself.

[@HeidiLandRover]

Tarling won Gran Camino

[@stan4902]

Noti gang

[@christopherdolan7330]

I like Marijn van den Berg. He is never going to be the fastest sprinter, but he is a cunning racer and a fearless bike-handler. Every race he wins, for the rest of his career, will be a triumph of skill over talent.

[@Jari1973]

Thanks for the good channel! But where are the Women?

[@jcl2275]

Pretty sure it's not a problem on LR's side. I actually doubt LR has the TV rights / organizer's OK to be able to use footage from those races. If you go on his channel, he made a video about why he can show some races while he can't do others.

[@user-mg2oq1od2t]

Why dont teams send sprinters? Next sentence: “The only guaranteeed sprint stage”

[@Blog4Justice]

Seven days of graft for a possible 50 UCI points? The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

[@JohnButler-iq8rl]

Never seen hugh doing chasing duties on a stage of this nature----I hesitate to say ' undulating ' because one person's interpretation of that is another's heart attack---😅.

[@jasonpatrick2875]

Hi

[@R6ex]

So dangerous to have so many people immediately after the Finishing Line!

[@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub]

ineos are having a nightmare season

[@felixwagner3152]

why are there almost pure flat stages in stage races anyway. Just do a 3km stage for the sprinters to ride and then get on with the real racing in the mountains or hills.

[@christianrivero446]

The old dude

[@dbk81]

These fucking organizers who have the road narrow down 20M after the finish….jesus 🫣

[@fernandovega5722]

Hayter could have opened up a gap on purpose on GT and make someone else come around and jump on those wheels and use that for the final lead out.

[@urbanjungle9600]

You are making the assumption that Hayter understands tactics and positioning …… which he doesn’t! His positioning in bunch sprints is horrendous usually and when in a good position is more often than not through luck than judgement He is a fabulous talented engine but tactically inept.

[@Pshady]

If I was Berrade’s team manager would have sent my team to the front to chase Tdg after he dropped that guy out the break.

[@luuzmaster3418]

Well yeah, but indoing that you only punish your team...

[@andrasszabo1570]

Berrade can only fault himself, he refused to pull. The other 6 Kern Pharma guys aren't good enough to pull De Gendt back...

[@drewcama2488]

Why do the finishing leader board show the riders country and not the team logo? I know all the riders who are Canadian ya don't have to show me my flag, I don't know the riders teams I want to know what the teams did. Aren't thew team sponsors paying for exposure? Isn't a logo a better sell than a three letter abbreviation? Like where did that unknown Ineos guy finish that G did such a long lead out for? I don't know his name I have no clue what country he was born in I know what team he was on though.

[@wilsonrotenberry6620]

Charmeleon Kuss?

[@LyfeisByke]

So glad EF didn’t wear those dumb helmets today

[@Nonixification]

Geraint Leadout was pointless?

[@kovar2344]

Hayter is exceptional track rider but he is no Sagan.

A Brit farts: Lanterne Rouge: Lisan Al-Gaib!

[@bubbachua]

Hayter just can’t compete or get a win?

[@IlkkaHarmanen]

First!

[@michalbenyskiewicz9447]

Anybody else here hates riding a bike?

[@cheechorino3710]

Hayter fell off man needs to stay on the track at this point

[@foz8430]

it was downhill and twisty when G was on the front so others couldnt move fwd, hardly a huge turn esp for a well credentailed GC TTér

[@Xhadp]

EF's kit is about to go all the way to dead last if they are going to win with nothing but aero skinsuit complete with long sleeves and aero gloves. Yuck, that isn't a good look if you are telling people that you need to that dipped out in aero to win, the helmet was alright but adding long sleeves PLUS gloves to the mix is the turn off point for me.

[@Slow.Smooth]

Pro these are professional athletes man. They’re trying to win races

[@markdowse3572]

It's scary how 'invisible' some of the road furniture is... 😮 Geraint Thomas proving that he's still got it! 👍😁 But he's not THREE riders. M 🦘🏏😎

[@hibillhotmailcom]

I don’t see Ethan’s position at INEOS tbh. Just loves the track
