So happy for Bini getting success this year. Such a nice dude and a talented rider.

[@gabrielfahey4592]

Espacially, won without trying to kill anyone

[@user-yz9ye6xp7q]

That's what happens when not riding out front all the time as he's done in past Tours. It was like he was just seeking face time & not following the coach to get wins. Just figured out Geometry & thinks- that's easy.

[@aronbalabs9389]

​@@user-yz9ye6xp7qSprinters don't ride out front. That's their teammates role to pull them along and launch them at the finish line.

[@DJM9678]

Bini doesn't need to push anybody into the barriers in order to win... Jasper watch and learn.

[@ForeverDayGreen]

Bini simply cant push anyone around 😂 There were so many races in previous years where he was clearly the fastest man but got shafted in the battle for position ahead of the sprint (nothing illegal). Heck it almost happened today. If he jumps half a second later hes stuck behind Philipsen for sure.

Uphill is his strength

[@tomtennant2012]

Girmay is so smooth his bike doesn’t seem to get tossed sideways as much as the other sprinters

[@savagepro9060]

he is seriously AVOIDING crashing others

[@racalcagno]

Noticed this.. he seems to sprint effortlessly…. he doesn’t even look like sprinting 😂

[@marvinnavarrete2094]

Bini would be an ultimate sprinter if he will incorporate Cav's sprint technique after he said that he idolizes Cav. He would be unstoppable.

[@MyDemon32]

​@@marvinnavarrete2094that sprint style works only on short riders like Cav or Ewan.

Biniam thanking the Cofidis train is so cheeky 😂

[@user-ts6pv2jv5o]

I have been a fan of Bini since the beginning, but I see many who underestimate and mock him after the Giro in Italy. I and some friends were upset by these taunts, but thank God we are not giving up on Bini. That day is coming and people are cheering and following him. I am happy to see that those rude and mocking people have shown remorse and learned a lesson.

"And then I WON" ..... YES, BINI .....YOU WON!!! BRILLIANT, Chapeau. 🎇🎉🎆

So nice to see bini going from being amazed by his first tdf victory.. to this time a ruthless cav-like analysis of the stage .."and then i won" more to come i hope.

Bini won the strategy game today. You can see him soft pedaling when the lead outs took off, then he made the first wave of sprinters HIS lead out. Absolute genius.

[@RonHaskell]

Jasper looks broken….. like most bullies, they fold once they face a little adversity.

[@peterzemanovic2038]

He crossed the whole road once again from left to right, so it still is good old Jasper disaster, probably just did not see he should have cut off the guy on the left of him.

[@ebckers]

The hate is getting a bit stupid tbh. People forget most sprinters are a bit nasty, or used to be anyway. Do you realise what a cunt Cavendish was in his prime? Or Zabel or Cipollini or..

[@jonasvingegoat5538]

Two deaths in a bit over a year is an absolute disgrace the uci has to do something Rest in peace andre drege and gino mader🕊️

[@great_live_music]

Many more dead than those two. Riding a bike is dangerous. I doubt UCI can make all the races finish on the top of the hill because some people can die while descending... They could push for more security (airbags like motorbike riders maybe), but for example freezing the times between the top and the bottom of the hill seem a bit too much in my opinion. Some riders are descending within their abilities, some others are playing with their life. It is exactly the same for amateurs (watch them descend the Ventoux for example, cutting corners on open roads...)? Adrenaline makes you dumb in some way.

[@squiglemcsquigle8414]

Many more. 2 juniors as well. 1 at austria junior race too

[@squiglemcsquigle8414]

​@great_live_music organizers know the roads and should place barriers and sponge bags appropriately

[@AbiSaysThings]

Can and should always look to do more when it comes to safety however I don't think it's possible to prevent all deaths in cycling without totally neutering the sport. Going down a mountain really fast is quite obviously risky.

[@sergiodemichele6295]

Philipsen tried to improve the characteristics necessary to win the classics, and because of this he lost some of his deadly progression; once again De Lie stopped by misfortune/lack of experience...

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

He tried to sprint into a gap which didn't exist. Luckily he didn't keep going and barge into the two in front of him.

[@great_live_music]

Philipsen should learn trigonometry...

[@savagepro9060]

He rathers Trigger-nometry

Carn Bini!! Get in!

[@SirPrizeMF]

I've watched a lot of cycling, and have done a lot of cycling, and I believe I can answer your question. After extensive research and studying thousands of hours of footage, I can conclusively say Girmay won because he cycled faster than the other guys.

[@kaspershaupt]

Mads would have been perfect for that finish sad to see him go. But also happy to root for bini instead

[@akoboyd1099]

What a heads up play by Intermache to sprint ahead of Jasper so he loses even more points at the intermediate sprint.

[@douglawrence6066]

[@TeacherNickoy]

While sprinting with philpsen, always go to his left. If you go to his right, you gonna get blocked.

[@savagepro9060]

or hurt

[@TeacherNickoy]

@@savagepro9060 true. Now look at bini going to his left, gets a proper sprint, if he got to his right, he would not get a sprint.

[@ThijsDeBacker]

I think if you look at the speed that De Lie came through, if he jumps between Bini and Ackermann instead of Bini and Philipsen, he would have won.

[@caitlintzounos3892]

Such a great win for Bini! It would have been nice not to have the ending spoiled by the title :(

[@user-yz9ye6xp7q]

[@user-hb4gl4uu3v]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉Bini❤❤

[@Lotschi]

6:52 Phillipsen had to put a lot of effort just before this frame to find Binis wheel, basically a pre-sprint. I think this was the effort that cost him the win. Because in the end he gets caught in the last few meters. 6:33 this is the clip before his sprint, he gets passed by the white guy, puts in the watts to get in fornt again, in Girmays wheel and then launches his final sprint, where the strength is missing.

[@nas6587]

[@jozseftheneopro]

What is this saspetat thing mean? You guys keeps saying it, but I couldn’t figure it out still.😂

[@GoofyChristoffer]

'Chasse Patate' Literal translation is Potato Hunt Generally used as a term for trying to catch a breakaway but failing, or sometimes also just for a wasted effort

[@Falsekaz]

You mean "chasse-patate" ? It is when a rider is trying alone to bridge to the breakaway, usually spending a lot of energy... Chasing potatoes...

I think EF would win more if they changed helmets

[@normal_norm2627]

I thought Pogi was just helping control the breakaway and wasn't interested in going himself.

[@ianvollbracht7228]

Surely there should be a debate in cycling about neutralizing descents? The other option is to make protective clothing obligatory (like in descent MTB). Formula 1 used to have a death rate like road cycling today. They made the cars safer … the « tech » already exists for road cycling (from other cycling disciplines). When will pride and tradition yield to common sense?

[@Chesstiger2612]

Does anyone know why the Cofidis guys gave Girmay a leadout? Is this some sort of anti-Philipsen alliance in the entire peloton, or is there just some friendship between Cofidis and Intermarché or the drivers?

[@Hakucho64]

It probably wasn't intentional. Cofidis just went too early like Lanterne said.

[@thomasghirmai6624]

Bini

[@marktahu2932]

Jasper threw his bike so far out and Bini took another pedal stroke, but it sort of looked like Jaspers gear selection may have been his downfall.

[@rota8742]

Jasper the disaster can't do anything to Bini when it comes one to one The only thing that Jasper the disaster uses is block block and block without block he is useless 😅

[@user-qx4bp5rf3n]

Why the F**** is De Lie sprinting on the hoods? He just added 1-200w of aero drag. Overall, the sprinters positions are not great. No wonder Cav can beat 'em despite being down on power. It's amazing how they geek out on TT head positions, but when it comes to the sprints...
