I made the mistake of watching GCN for a Tour update. Like going back to 1st grade. They explain everything like you are a newbie.

[@sfumato8884]

Easily!

[@felixwagner3152]

I think what the last trek leadout man did was way more dangerous than what sagan/jakobsen did and extremely negative racing. He just tried to slot in in front of sagan after finishing his job and while being very slow compared to the other sprinters and therefore nearly causing him to crash and also slowing him considerably.

[@l.d.t.6327]

That's nonsense. The Trek rider held his line and 3/4th of the road to the left was wide open. If you would suggest him to go right, and someone is coming through, it would be a massive crash much like the one between Jakobsen and Groenewegen. The only reason the Trek lead out seems to be in the way, is the choice of Jakobsen / Sagan fighting for WvA's wheel (self-inflicted risk they take). In the end it's called positioning and leadout riders falling back are part of it. If you want lead-out men to magically disappear, lead out your own sprint or simply sprint where there is space, and space there was more than enough.

[@kdodkoeofofekfe3121]

@@l.d.t.6327 He really did not held his line. Compare what he did to what Laporte did. Stuyven deliberately moves to the right, almost stops IN FRONT of Sagan. Absolutely ridiculous...

[@l.d.t.6327]

@@kdodkoeofofekfe3121 going left max. 50cm in a 60K/hr sprint and not closing in anyone, is not veering off. Just replay it around 7:11 at 0.25x speed. Stuyven is really not to blame. If anything, he made sure there was still a sizeable gap between him and the barriers so sprinters could move through on both sides.

[@bradw7457]

Jakobsen is just insane! Sprinters have such a killer instinct. You'd think maybe he'd have some hesitation after suffering a near career ending crash, but no, that was one of the most aggressive fights for a wheel I've ever seen

That welsh accent is flawless - as someone who once crossed the Severn Bridge for a day I can concur.

[@kieranbarry8193]

as a welsh resident i can say that it was perhaps the worst Welsh accent ive ever heard! not bad as an irish one though :)

@@jamesd5241 I think that was the joke they were making. I had to pause the video to read the comments at that point.

[@williamdickinson6179]

Glad to see the balanced view of the Jakobsen/Sagan jostling for position. In the immediate aftermath most of Twitter seemed to be calling for a Sagan DQ… As most here have said, it looked like a great scrap with the most dangerous part being the Trek rider. After that Jakobsen simply on another level 🚀

Sagan is a master of placing himself and fighting for position in a sprint. It’s a shame he doesn’t have that top end speed anymore

He still has it. Likely just less drug use

[@seancreaser1357]

[@renrewheisenberg7634]

I think Sagan still have some kick on his legs. He would've been able to contest the last few meters as well if he didn't get bumped and almost got knock off by Jakobsen as seen on the 7:10

[@Slow.Smooth]

@@renrewheisenberg7634 Sagan again showing clear handling skills above the rest seriously.

[@clementdenis4212]

Sagan never really had the top speed to compete with the pure sprinters, he had the consistency to get top 5 places in half the stages.

[@sam88wise22]

May be biased - cause Belgian - but when it comes to positioning before the actual sprint, I believe Wout is one of the best of all time, there are probably 5-6 guys in the peloton who are better sprinters, but he just knows how to position himself every single time

[@yakoudbz]

His positioning before the sprint is very good indeed, but I feel like he often starts his sprint a bit too early, and does not really care about giving a shelter to a dozen sprinters stuck to his wheel until one of them overtake him on the line. I think he kinda learned the lesson though and he probably starts early on purpose because he just want to secure a good place for the green jersey...

[@trademark1874]

Nice channel, glad i found it early on the tour ;)

[@robertthebloke3384]

Love it! Any thoughts on the Officials letting Lampaert use the team cars to get back to the bunch, but not letting Uran and co get back?

[@pattynjan1]

It was due to a fall none of his fault ,there is a different interpretation. Uran had to let go.

[@osfan25]

I thought they should have let Uran use the cars but that bunch were also towing a pretty sizable group back to the peloton. I think if it was just the EF guys they would have turned a blind eye to it.

[@JackOfOneTrade]

I thought I heard the commentator saying the officials told Lampaert to get off his own car but he could use other cars. Did I mishear that?

[@Nytaarsfyrvaerkeri]

Because uran had alot of riders on Wheel, that allready had dropped from peloton

[@l.d.t.6327]

There was no good reason Uran could NOT use the cars (they all stopped actually) when he was getting nearer.

Any other rider than Sagan, and they crash. Jakopsen literally pushed him into the Trek guy. Sagan luckily has crazy bike handling skills

[@maartends6051]

Nah man, someone else than sagan wouldnt go in the gap. Defently sagan was at foult

[@great_live_music]

I watched it several times at a slower speed, it is difficult to understand who is pushing who (they are both pushing each other, and it seems they are keeping their lines more or less). But what's impressive is that Sagan succeeded in passing his handlebar between the two bikes without falling or making somebody else fall! From the helicopter view, you see there is not enough space for a bike standing up, hence the reason why Sagan was leaning on Jakopsen, using the angle to avoid the crash...

[@alexhazard6871]

@@maartends6051 you don’t have a choice than to go into that gap. They were going 65kmph and the Trek guy was 2meters in front of Sagan. No other choice than to go for the gap or crash into the Trek guy

[@qasiatv2180]

Lanterne again delivering with the 1st class commentary👏

[@JSBax]

Damn, bad luck for Ewan. He's clearly got some speed but so rarely has he been delivering. He'd have been happy being on Jakobsen's wheel at 200 (not that he'd have gotten past to win, you'd think), but got boxed in 2/3 times and dropped like a stone. Jakobsen proving his worth. Hope Cavendish can be happy for him...doubt it

[@Tibovl]

Well if it happens once that's unfortunate, but Ewan is rarely in a good position to actually sprint. At that point it's on him, or his lead out man.

[@steeptachanka2867]

Anyone think that move from jasper stuyven was a bit dodgy, looks like he purposefully moved left to bblock the other sprinters😟

[@DavidvdGulik]

That's what a lead-out is supposed to do. Do the lead out, move to the side, but in such a way that sprinters on your sprinter's wheel has to move the long way around you

I'm upset about Yves Lampeart's yellow jersey. It looks ridiculous. I looked him up - he's 180cm (5'11") tall. Not a short rider. The jersey they gave him would look too big even on a tall rider like MVDP. The dude will probably never wear yellow again in his career and he didn't get an appropriately sized jersey. Should have been done right.

Time and time again Pogacar proves bike handling matters. There were no fewer than 3 instances last tour where I've thought "If that was Roglic, he'd be eating tarmac"

Put Rogliz in this situation, he would be rolling on the floor, losing skin and exposing his butt like last year.

[@otowncolby]

If Pogacar didn't have those barriers to hold him up right, he would have gone down.

[@imranwahid11]

Rogliz would have gone down regardless, barrier or no barrier. Rogliz is a top top rider but his bike handling skill is questionable. He carshes so often!

[@otowncolby]

@@imranwahid11 For sure, Pogacar's bike handling skills are better than Roglic. But the barriers helped him out. Pogacar actually did go down. lol. He just got lucky it those were there to keep it from being too bad.

[@imranwahid11]

I would not argue against that. Yes, barrier helped him and yes, his bike handling skill also helped to stay on the bike. You cannot win a grand tour without a bit of luck.

[@runningforasthma_]

That was an impressive sprint from Jakobsen to beat Wout and every single British keyboard warrior

[@ManWalksDogs]

What were British KWs upset about in particular? Surely it's Sagan fanbois with an issue here? And I don't mean with Jakobsen, I mean with the subtle but sly look over the shoulder, drift & block from the final lead-out guy @ 7:10 (I know it's common practice but it's still dangerous & hardly in the spirit of a fair sprint).

[@ManWalksDogs]

...Only just dawned on me what British KWs you could be referring to; I take it you mean Cav fanbois bitter with Lefevere picking debutant Jakobsen over illustrious Cav.

[@ManWalksDogs]

...FTR I'm British and was disappointed Cav wasn't picked but don't hold that against Jakobsen, recognise his talent and celebrated his podium acknowledging his long road to recovery. I also respected Groenewegen's victory and don't hold Jakobsen's road to recovery against any future successes for DG - he fucked up, he paid the price mentally (& FJ physically, obviously), they both get to move on and race again.
