Sagan went in between 2 riders making contact with both. One could argue that if he hadn't, he would have had to brake and would have probably hit the deck but it was like rugby.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I always thought sprinting was the contact sport aspect of road racing. Well, not usually actual contact, but definitely the threat. Take that out and it will be like modern day football.Pinno wrote:PBlakeney wrote:The cause of the first crash wasn't shown on ITV4 highlights.

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Not the objective, but a means to achieve the objective.

Sagan is riding high on his status and high on some recent wins which were not immediately forthcoming when he left Tinkoff. It seems his actions were a bit brash but he did have the humility to try and find Cav immediately and apologise.
Perhaps an escalating arrogance has been permanently nipped in the bud and that will be his Suarez or Zidane moment over with. Then this DQF won't be in vain and we can look forward to a slightly tempered Sagan.
I don't want to see a repeat of this in any shape or form. To me he is a living legend and hopefully will be put in the Merckx stratosphere come the end of his career without being marred by certain actions.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Oh no! A chaps just been hit with a forklift and there's paint everywhere!
ah, hold on, it's an advert for Slater and Gordon, injury lawyers. as you were.

an attack! aroooooooooooooo
let's hope for more of thismy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
Watched the final climb on some sketchy app on my phone at my desk. Aru did look strong on that attack. Left 'em for dead. Froome, Porte and Ragga Tip responded well. Will Martin be in the GC mix do we think? I think Froome will start to peak in the third week rather than be clinging on for grim death. I reckon I could drop Quintana going uphill at the moment, and I climb like an asthmatic snail.0

Thats what a 5kg weight loss can do to your climbing, take note BR'sI'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0
-
If I lost 5kg I'd probably be transparent.0
-
I'd still be a big lad if I lost 5kg. 10kg and I might look like a proper cyclist.0
-
Good win by Aru, Porte riding like a loser.0

I have short legs, however I still managed to overtake 6 (six) cyclists on the commute home today, including a lady on an E Bike.0 -

I'm 85kg at 185 cm. 4 years ago pre bike commuting I was 105kg. If I were to stop drinking, I'm sure I could be high 70's quite quickly. But I'd need new clothes, so it's cheaper to drink until my liver packs up.0 -
