I dont see him any faster at all, Cav already beat him once, more to do with quality of leadout trains here. Put full leadout train for Cav or Jaccobson and either would come out on top.

[@Spartan_-du9wi]

Smart tactic by INEOS (not my favorite team). Because right now they don't have a big threat for the Le Tour. They could be looking for a stage in the mountains. Where Pogacar would not attack and let them take a stage if no harm to him in GC. This is UAE home tour. Give them the benefit to pay dividends later. Smart long thinking.

Man, say what you want about Cav needing Morkov...if Cav was delivered to the line as well as Bennett was, he'd have won the stage. That leadout deserved 1st

Bennett looked sluggish. After a terrific leadout, he didn't get the job done. If it was just Philipsen, I'd chalk it up to Philipsen's flying form. But Kooij overtook Bennett as well like he was standing still. Rough day for the sprinters on my fantasy team - him and Cav. Did Cav not contest because he was recovering from yesterday's head bang?

[@Sills71]

Pog gets back or at least very close... plus there is still a climb stage where Pog could take time on Ganna so Ineos would probably not win so no reason to pace. Just like Armstrong waiting for Ulrich when LA was comfortably ahead on GC, it always pays to be the nice guy when it costs you nothing. You probably can get a favor in the future and give up nothing.

[@0ldw3lshm4n]

Nothing to do with Ganna, Yates is Inneos leader so any time they would loo to gain would be for him.

lets not forget pogacar calming/ stopping skuijns and kwiato...when crash happened behind bit of karma.

He loves to race and obviously im a fan of that style, alla, WVA, rog, MVDP, I know i keep saying it butI really think Gaudu will have great year liege and lombardia showings last year, basque country pulled with Rog and his TT has really improved.

I remember uproar when contador attacked in the TDF when one of the Schlecks had a mechanical. Still to this day I don’t understand the uproar.

If I was a big schleck fan I’d have been annoyed by the situation but as a neutral I felt that if I was in contadors position I’d find it very hard to stop and wait knowing that the “other schleck” was the next rider on the climb, which would then give the schlecks a huge advantage when they caught back up.

[@TheRealKingLeopoldII]

Funny how Bennett did the same to Kooij today as Philipsen did to Groenewegen on stage 1, yet now no one (apart from LR here) talks about it, yet Philipsen was the devil himself according to so many people. It's literally the same thing, except that Bennett closed the gap even faster making it more dangerous!

[@larslosh5598]

It can be argued Bennet started his sprint at that point and made no deviations after that, unlike Philipsen who continued deviation long after starting. But you are Belgian so I predict you wont agree.

[@ktakashismith]

It would likely be a different conversation if Kooij did not have the space to swing around Bennett, and in the end beat him in the sprint - therefore it seemed as though there was less consequence in Bennett's dive to the barriers. But LR did say this was "exactly like Philipsen did in stage 1, and worse than what Richeze did in Tour of Oman". Can't make it the topic of the video every time, but I'm sure all this footage is going into a larger compilation/discussion video of this messy topic.

[@TheRealKingLeopoldII]

@@larslosh5598 ha I didn't think of that. it looks like he's already sprinting for a couple seconds, but it's still technically mostly in van Poppel's wheel, so I guess you're right. I still feel like it's just as dangerous, but it's allowed according to the rules. And trust me, I do not care about the nationalities of riders. I'm not patriotic in the slightest.

[@glennoc8585]

Etiquette is going sadly you can see it from races to bunch to even social rides. I've been left flogging it and redlining due to being on the back of a lead out group ride then a car causes a wait. You'd always check to see if a rider got caught out at a roundabout etc but I'm seeing less of that. It more about self and getting a ride done and back to whatever people do next. I'd go as far as saying the director should call a slow and wait as a rule.
