Another one for the sprinters, I’m thinking Philipsen wil get this one again. Though I’m hoping Cav will get his win nice and early in the tour and goes on a Cav winning streak.
I want Pedersen to boss them all 😎
Man, van der Poel is the dream lead out!
He really is incredible. Those two are going to be hard to beat.
Just watched the highlights, it’s incredible indeed that was some pull he gave.
I agree. I do hope that MvdP will be able to finish the Tour this time, though, and ride for a victory of his own at one time.
Prudhomme disagrees
It’s kind of bogus you can be the “enforcer”, breaking all the rules, get relegated, and your team still gets the win. Everything outside of the push was awesome though.
I had missed the push! Only saw later that he was punished for it. I think Philipsen was in the wrong against van Aert on Monday.
As an aside, I read a suggestion the other day about sprint finishes: to paint lanes on the roads and then everyone has to stick to theirs.
In theory, that’s a good idea, but I think it won’t work. All they see is the finish and at such high speeds lanes would lead to crashes too.
Caleb or Cav, come on.
Cav or Bini
Seems like Bini has the same problem as Caleb, that being positioning… Granted it’s Binis first Tour
If Caleb was on a better team with a decent lead out, he’d really be in for a chance. His finishes are so fast, but he’s isolated and out of position. I reckon he’s got one this TdF though.
Pretty exciting finish. Weird road surface issues.
