    10km was more realistic as it turns out.

    Switched on at 14 kms. Probably should have waited till 4 kms.
    Good 4 kms that. 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

  • So net result is they will both get the group time.

    Oh and Pedersen won.

    Roglic should get the time of the group he was in, surely?

    Thought he was unscathed but that looks to be bleeding quite freely.

    Looks really dazed, probably came as a bit of a shock. It was entirely his own fault, suspect he'd gone so far into the red he wasn't very aware of what was happening.

    Very deep effort ...was truly amazing

    Probably.
    A lot of blood for 8 seconds though

    Bumped shoulders / bars with Wright but Wright wasn't changing line, Roglic just came back across to the wheels and misjudged.

    Does anyone ever check how genuine these things are?

    Be amusing if the 3km rule doesn't apply but that can't be classed as a hill finish.
  • Looks as if he tried to get into the line in front of Fred Wright but there was zero gap.
    Primoz made the mistake I’m afraid.

    I'd be more inclined to believe there was a problem but he'd nursed it into the last 3km.

    Claiming a puncture, there was no sign of one when he pulled in.

    Great prescience by Remco, knowing he could let Roglic go because he was going to crash anyway.

    It’s not right atm.
    Roglic given ST as front 4 despite finishing behind the main bunch at 47 seconds or so.
    So they have used the 3km rule for him, but not Evenepoel.

    Puncturegate coming up….

    Blythe certainly wasn't taking a diplomatic approach to Remco's "puncture" was he? That said he admitted the other day that he hadn't liked him much until this season.

  • Not quite sure why he'd feign a puncture, did he think he'd get dropped from the group he was in?

    Rear tyre in that video clip looks flat to me when any weight is put on it.

    Agreed. At 7 seconds in, looks flat.
