Rowe showing is worth yet again, spreads it out to get Bernal safely to 3k.4

DQS running out of lead out riders.0

Anyway Grace was in her prime in that movie.
However I'm sure the car was a Sunbeam Alpine MK1 not a Merc, you can see the logo in this shot

Treintin not Sagan 3 rd"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Bennett messes it up and let's Ewan through on the line. Excellent sprint by Ewan who weaved through after staying out of the wind. Everyone somehow gets through safely despite a fairly narrow road and riders going backwards in the wind0

That was impressive, he went past Sagan and others like they were standing still.0
-
That sprint shows why lanes would be a terrible idea. You'd never get past the riders dying in front.3
-
Great finish! I Had Bennett for PTP but can't hold that win against Ewan!0
-
Brilliant sprint by Ewan.
Even better though was the absolutely exemplary call by Boulting and Millar. Didn't think I'd see the day but they have surpassed Hatch & Kelly for me now untill the last 200m (Bless Ned but he is terrible at seeing who wins on the line)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Are you still banging that drum? You can't sprint straight on a narrow road with people slowing all around. It very different to what your man did in Poland.rick_chasey said:

DQS really aren't very good at looking after a sprinter.0
-
A nice result for Lotto Soudal as well after their terrible first day.0

At the time people wanted to punish riders for not sprinting straight regardless.Pross said:

Bennett is by the barriers, starts dying, looks through his legs and drifts.
Either you punish all or none, surely?

I can't speak for others but for me there's a huge difference between wobbling a bit as you tire at the line and deliberately switching lines at high speed in a crowded bunch. Even more difference between that and sticking an arm out as another rider is passing you. I suspect Bennett may have got relegated had Ewan not passed him though.rick_chasey said:

We need to put this to bed, Ewan doesn't win if he has to hold a line!!! It was a bad accident with Jakobsen but sh1t happens when racing and sh1t happens when sprinting... the emotion stems from the result of the accident rather than the actual movement. I'm not condoning it but it's a hard game that's why we love it!rick_chasey said:

As much as I dislike Ewan and am trying to channel my inner Richmond Racer, you are starting to sound pathetic, now.rick_chasey said:

You know exactly the difference between someone leaving their sprint late and swerving to avoid slower traffic and someone who cuts across another rider's line, when he is level and riding tight to the barriers.
Headwind is also a clue.

Bennett wasn’t swerving to avoid anything?
Sorry guys why do you think I’m talking about Ewan? I can’t be much clearer when I say Bennett...0 -
Bennett was just knackered, you even acknowledged that yourself. I know you can tell the difference between the sort of move Groenewegen pulled and a rider on his last legs wobbling a bit so it looks like you're just being argumentative again.0
-
I don't particularly want to get involved in this debate but it did look to me at the time as though Bennett did try to be a little bit naughty as Ewan came past. Maybe it was the camera angle.0

Ridiculous. It’s entirely legitimate to come around a rider as he’s slowing for the line and you know it.rick_chasey said:

Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0
