Sagan is not quite Sagan just yet. He had an issue on Stage 2 with Jakobsen, and again on Stage 3 with van Aert. He wasn’t “furious” by any means. He’s just very competitive and had the legs to win. What he is missing is his unique ability to weave his way through chaos and win the stage like only he could do. So, he’s frustrated. But, he is so very close. I think he now has enough races under his belt to win a stage in this year’s Tour like the Sagan of old. It would be great to have him back!

[@danielkol477]

Nah, this is the same shit that happned two years ago. Barriers crooked as teeth of a veteran crack abuser and the belgian bastard deviating again. Perhaps the last headbutt was too weak to put sense into van Aert.

[@derekkuhl]

Agreed on all points. Having him back to his previous form would be awesome!

[@brunospasta]

I dont agree. He is still clearly on his a-game in late chaos situations. There is just an element of luck to it that is not controlleable. Last two sprints he did all the right decisions.

When I saw the sprint I was thinking why does Laporte goes to the left and forces Wout to start his sprint so early. Wout said after the race that he made a major mistake but I'm glad that you clearly point out that Laporte made the mistake. He did a great job at keeping Wout in the front but his leadout was rookie.

[@markdwelchforcongress4456]

Laporte may have made a mistake by not going on the barriers, but Wout made a mistake by leaving his wheel. If he follows Laporte - he wins. Laporte makes another mistake by sprinting even farther left - opening the door for Groenevegan.

[@woudwilder8324]

@@markdwelchforcongress4456 I think Van Aert didn't feel comfortable going so far to the left so suddenly and therefor he decided to go early. Van Aert will never say that his teammate made a mistake, will always praise them, did the same yesterday when actually Laporte made a mistake there as well that cost him the win.

[@EgeBerkGonul]

I think Laporte assumed that Morkov was going to move to barriers, so he decided to move left. But since Morkov moved to left, Laporte and Van Aert had to pass him from different sides, which led Van Aert lose Laporte's wheel. Laporte attacked to lead out Van Aert again, but as Van Aert had already started his sprint the moment he lost Laporte's wheel, so they could not meet again.

[@SorenCicchini]

I think so, too, and Morkov looking over his right shoulder with 300 m to go reinforced his idea that going left was the correct move at that time to get a half second jump on his sprint with his man on his wheel and no other leadout train in sight. It's hard to fault him for this.

Great analysis. Love the callout boxes to identify riders

[@davidd1492]

If the UCI applied there rules to all teams instead of hand picking who they apply penalties to, they would have relegated WVA. The rules clearly state that once you start your sprint you should no deviate from your line and endanger another rider. Blind Freddy could see WVA did both, front on you could see he deviated nearly 5m from when he started the sprint and nearly put Sagan into the barrier. While the UCI pick and choose who they want to apply rules to, it is only a matter of time before there is another incident like Jakobsen and Groenewegen.

[@Draregkoeliekalie]

Agreed and im a fan of van Aert and Jumbo.

[@ronroman3536]

Totally agree. If Sagan’s and WVA’s positions and lines were reversed, Sagan definitely would have been regulated. I hate the inconsistency of the application of the rules.

Wout did with Sagan what Sagan always did with others…

[@stoempert]

Wout apparently can do no wrong, Belgian commentators have such a blindspot they automatically assumed Sagan was pointing to Groenewegen 🙈 The jury should be more strict to avoid nasty crashes.

[@Draregkoeliekalie]

Yeh lol they were like why is Sagan mad... If this wasnt Sagan than van Aert wouldve been relegated I think. Sagan is the most aggresive rider of them all so he cant really complain. At 1.2km to he uswd his hands twice vs a rider from Alpecin. He is the last one to complain Still van Aert shouldve been dq'd in dayresult.

Jasper’s sprint was monstrous alright

[@philc9305]

Side question- I know sprinters are not supposed to deviate from their lines but what about the leadoff guys? Are they expected to hold there line as well, wouldnt that block their sprinter at times. Is there a distance from the finish where line change is allowable?

[@clementdenis4212]

You can deviate if you are slowing down I guess

[@maximefornasari4110]

@@clementdenis4212 that's even more dangerous

[@PatrickLino]

Where the heck was Sagan's lead-out train!???

[@matthias8140]

Clear deviation but like usual without consequences because nobody crashes

[@MarshallGA12]

and also because the current superstar Van Aert is fighting for his first green jersey... if he were to fight for the seventh GJ against the Frenchman, he would definitely be penalized...

[@pierg5257]

depends who... :)

[@11-inch]

@@MarshallGA12 What superstar? WVA won nothing major, probably the most overated cyclist in the modern era.

[@Narogir]

@@11-inch hum the primavera it's nothing major? Sad story for a Monument.... but yes the surname Silverwout it's there for something.

Lanterne Rouge and Jomboy, and maybe Squidge Rugby too, the best sport analysis channels on KZbin!

[@willross5108]

Not sure if that was enough deviation from Wout, a non-call on that one I guess.

[@user-hk3zm8tm3h]

I don't think Sagan's gesture is to Wout, rather it means: look, while you was fighting with me, you opened the door for him to win and he won...

[@leighsymons5619]

You should be on the SBS commentary team, which in my mind, is one of the best there is world sport. I wonder if others think the same?

[@mattjones1378]

Looked like Sagan lost the edge and got spooked by the wall. He had room. The Sagan of liquidgas Cannondale would have sprinted through there and a incredible hulk celebration

[@someinconsequentialusernam7799]

You do know how many times Sagan’s been punished for doing that, right? He got kicked out a few years ago for something that was arguably the other rider’s fault. That’s why he hesitated, here. He could’ve pushed WVA, but knew he’d be relegated for it.

[@coopaloopmex]

LOL Jomboy Media gets the shoutout @7:48. Classy move Lanterne Rouge

[@charlieruehl8589]

It was so funny how the nbc guys thought Sagan was pointing at Grounewegen to congratulate him for winning the sprint

[@hutchy_4297]

That’s what I think and I wasn’t listening to them

[@pinarellolimoncello]

Great break down and commentary , thanks, would have been impossible to spot at normal speed. Very strong field but still need to parachute in Mark Cavendish to restore full integrity to any sprint victory.

[@sldulin]

getting to be an element of 'working the umps' in these remonstrations. They have to know if they don't relegate they will be accused of being partial. 100% guarantee that without Peter's pointing absolutely no one would be talking about this.

[@ktakashismith]

That's just asinine, this was probably one of the largest line deviations in a mass sprint this year. I think the correct assessment is that people are 100% willing to pretend like it's not a big deal because it was Wout who did the chopping. If you want to see someone "working the umps", watch Cavendish throwing a shit-fit because Richeze moved 1m to the right in Tour of Oman Stage 6.

[@someinconsequentialusernam7799]

Did you see the same sprint the rest of us did? van Aert almost drove Sagan into the barriers. An honest fan is going to mention it because it’s so blatantly obvious.
