There’s a new hobby in town, it’s called “blocking Wout against the right barriers”, and it’s getting popular

[@geuros]

He would win today had that not happened. He has to restart the sprint and still got just centimetres behind Girmay. Really unlucky, but he clearly has the power

[@fautqucabele2070]

😅 It's a shame because I think he would have won this time.

[@nitindahiya6508]

Why no one from Visma helps him? Like girmay’s teammates do. Sorry for dumb question 😅

@@nitindahiya6508they are busy making sure vingegaard doesn't do a roglic

Can't help but thinking that Wout would have at least two stages in this tour by now if he didn't keep getting chopped in the sprints. But you can't win on "what if". All credit to Girmay for, in my opinion, being THE story of this years TdF so far 🇪🇷 As for GC, I can only say "Kom så Vingegaard" 🇩🇰

[@joelecho]

Yeah Girmay won this one fair and square, but Wout didn't lose it on his terms, in a way. Too bad we didn't get to see how it would have gone if they'd both had a clean lane, but great ride by both of them, and happy to see Wout looking strong in these final sprints.

[@nicolbolas5078]

another what if: what if UAE paid proper attention to Pogi's diet. Mistake cost him the stage and probably was the cause for Jonas coming back But you can't keep thinking in 'what ifs' of course

Kevlar padding! Why more riders don't invest in it

[@Atriaa6]

Look i'm biased here cause Van Aert is one of my favorite rider but I'm also French so I like Démarre. It's not the first time he does that sort of thing in sprints. I get it, mistakes happen and they all do it. It's just that some riders do it more often, Démarre is one of them. He realky needs to focus on that.

[@great_live_music]

He had plenty of time to practice (as it is not his first race) and he is still doing it... I'm hoping for another French victory but I'm unsure Demare has it in him. MVDP will not be missing every day, so he'll have to beat Bini, Philipsen, Wout, Cav, etc. It would be cool to see him win one last time on the Tour, but between 3 and 5 seem to be his real level against the other riders.

[@maturtlelaza]

The new green jersey is so ugly. They need to bring back the light green.

[@RubenTheCartographer]

For those that don't know, the reason it is this colour is because of the Skoda sponsordeal

[@maturtlelaza]

@@RubenTheCartographer I wonder why they changed their mind. Skoda has sponsored the jersey for years.

Damn. Didnt see that one yet. It is a reason why I didnt support Cavendish his 35th win. He did this sort of riding and wheel chopping all the time. Should have had way more relegations.

[@Fudgeis1337]

@@MrVos-mh7qo I don't think Cavendish was left with a lot of options - the leadout man in red just stops pedalling in a group of riders going 60kmph. If he goes to his right he's squeezing eight riders towards the barriers, if he stays on line he crashes into the back of a decelerating leadout man. Left was the only option remaining

[@discrep]

@@Fudgeis1337 Cav was on Bini's wheel and could have followed him past McLay, plus it looked like there was even enough room between Bini and McLay for him to squeeze through. He didn't have many options because he mistimed his move, then to save himself, he almost took Coquard out. If he waited a half second longer in Bini's wheel, he would've had a shot at winning. The left + left moves took him so wide he was next to Philipsen briefly. Also just seconds before that, when Teunissan was moving Bini up the left barriers, Cav had already swung from outside to inside then outside right into Bini like he was drunk.

[@CharlesOffdensen]

@@andretim75 The quote is not exact. It was made during the Criterium du Dauphine. And now Horner's words are confirmed. Roglic didn't look up to see what other riders in front of him were doing, and he could not judge what the situation would be in a few seconds. Horner was right to say this. Roglic relies on his physique, not on his technique or vision (that's why I like him, he is different, he is an athlete).

[@goatbloat8233]

@@andretim75 Is he daydreaming a 1/4 second before he decides to do some unplanned gymnastics? He is either cosmically unlucky or there is another explanation. Horner's explanation was not very good but it involves lack of predicting/reacting-to upcoming situations. It is clear some riders are good at split second avoidance and it is also clear Primoz isn't. If there was ever a time to be on high alert it was going around a center barrier.
