It's a good peloton these days"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

Tom pidcock looking suitably annihilated ....all that time hanging on to the GC group ... I suppose the debate of does he need to get off the MTB"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.

Yeah, proper hearts and minds stuff there.andyp said:
Mohoric was very generous about both Asgreen and O'Connor. He's very erudite, isn't he?Pross said:
Lost it on a mistimed throw in the end.andyp said:How strong was Asgreen? O'Connor absolutely did the right thing in attacking at 600 metres to go, yet Asgreen was straight onto him and almost managed to then still outsprint Mohoric. Amazing stuff after yesterday.

I will when someone tweets it out. The Tour official account will soon enough, I'd imagine, as they usually do.shirley_basso said:can someone link to a tweet?

Chucking his weight around. Ego looks a little out of control.rick_chasey said:
He’d do well to watch Mohoric’s interview.
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 -
I don't get why we're piling on Philipsen again today?
He was gesticulating at one point on the run in, but that looked to me like he was indicating the wind direction had changed and they'd be better off swapping turns from the other side to give those going back more shelter.
Kirby, of course, missed that because he knows so little about bike racing.0 -
That is why one shouldn't act like a **** even on a one-off basis. People generally assume the worst of one thereafter, even if unfairly.andyp said:I don't get why we're piling on Philipsen again today?

That was a surprisingly enjoyable stage. I'd have been happy if any of the first three won it, but Mohoric's interview made me glad he did,0

Maybe Philipsen's gesticulating was just complaining that, despite their efforts, they weren't catching up at all. Or complaining that van der Poel missed a turn about 10 km out.andyp said:I don't get why we're piling on Philipsen again today?

Eitherway, it wasn't the wind direction which changed; it was from the SW all the time. However, they were riding westwards from beyond 20 km out, so the wind was coming from their front left. But with about 10 km to go they turned to head SE, so then it was from their right side.
It seemed to me that the Philipsen group rotated clockwise, and with no offset, for the whole last half-hour, as if the wind was from the left front. So could be your theory is correct, he wanted the rotation direction altered.
(Some offset might have helped too, but perhaps less recommended between riders who don't know each other well)
