What happened to having two girls on the stand for the presentation? We now have one woman and one man, just not the same.

Gender equality...get with the times ! 😘

I am quite happy with my old fashioned ideas thank you.

What happened to not leaving your racing line? That sprint seemed all over the place

It's always a bit rough and tumble but Sagan went over the line. Can't believe he's still behaving like that after causing Cav to crash a while back and what happened to Fabio Jacobsen.
He's dropping down my Christmas card list

I agree it's always been a place I'd not like to be but today there seemed to be 3 or 4 that noticeably left their line

Just watched and have to agree,for some reason as Sagan is so liked maybe ? he seems to be able to take the piss a little or a lot !

what the feck was sagan thinking?????

It is a sprint so nothing new in there
Sagan rightly penalised
When Evans won the first sprint this year he was all over the place, squeezing through some ridiculous space, but he did not rough anyone, luckily for him
Bennett is a massive fav for the green (and I did not bet)

Maybe Sagan feels like his grip on the jersey is fading ? He's had a monopoly on it for years now.
As for SammyB I did back him

I also backed Nizzolo and wheres he gone...

It's fine lines isn't it? Pascal Ackerman won a sprint in Tirreno Adriatico just recentlly by squeezing through an impossibly small gap, we all cheered. There was just room, he slipped through.

I'm not defending Sagan, as far as I can judge (which, tbh is not far) he was bang to rights.

In fact I have no idea what point I'm trying to make. Other than that sprinting is bonkers dangerous. It's great when it works, but not when it doesn't.

Squeezing through gaps,whilst Gaviria held his line.Admirably aswell,he could of easily blocked him out.I get the rough and tumble of sprints.But when you get caught out such as today you can't really cry about it.Similar as rich said about the Cav incident.Ive seen online a pic and some saying he was leaning away from a spectator holding a selfie stick....? It looked pretty deliberate to me though.

He's always been a tw@ IMHO.

Translated into English, I reckon it was something like... GET OUT OF MY F*****G WAY, I WANT THAT GREEN JERSEY BACK!!!!!

It’s my understanding that the squeezing through was bad, but sticking the nut in was the the straw that broke the commissars back.

Some call it good bike handling skills others fecking dangerous...I'm in the second camp.Could of quite easily ended Van Aerts season early.

So he should avoid sprints if he would like to avoid this danger
Because it will not be eliminated
Nature of the game
