From the overhead it's confirmed: Sagan is still an accident (for somebody else) waiting to happen.

French loving that he took time out to make sure the rider was safe. Check your helmet guys you shouldn't have to rely on other riders to make sure it's fittingmididoctors said:

The bridge promised so much yet delivered so little that you'd think it was one of Boris Joh

The reason for the confusion being that sunlight partially obscured the 4, making it look like 1.
But yeah, turns out it was Kung, although Dan Lloyd reckoned it had kicked off earlier.

...I'm still gobsmacked at the fact that Pogacar is eligible for the White Jersey.
Six TdFs is a reasonable objective. Seven possible. Eight?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Unless they change the rules, he's eligible next year as well

How bad is it that would be classed as a failure?0 -
Could happen, and would be considered a failure of a Tour to Pogacar given his achievements. It is his past achievements that would make it a failure.JimD666 said:

Ben O'connor has had an interesting couple of days
Lost a packet yesterday and was caught behind the crash today
Everyone given the same time, even Vermaeke and Turgis who caught up in the crashes before and on the bridge0 -
Wonder when the last time everyone was awarded the same finishing time was?0
-
I think (without emulating Bombscare Kirby), the ASO got away with one on how the finish played out.

Hell of a crowd at the intermediate sprint.0

Which I'd argue is probably a reason not to have one 3k, after a 18k crosswind bridge, on a fairly narrow road.rick_chasey said:First sprints in the tour are always messy aren’t they?

It was Proudhomme that put it there, next to a petrol station and a McDonalds. He wanted it as close to the bridge as possible to create drama if there were splits.rick_chasey said:

I can see that, I'd suggest the safety of the finish relied on there being splits.No_Ta_Doctor said:

As it turned out, a benign crash, inside the 3km zone split the field and the finale ran off safely.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0
