vdP made the same move one lap before and got back 6 seconds. It’s insane seeing him doing the exact same thing again at the finish.

To be beaten senseless on the spot (by baguettes preferably) was what Justice required.

Noice. Monty Python style.

She’s easily identifiable, someone will turn her in. She deserves to be prosecuted, stupid woman.

Feckin’ trembling she’ll be. I’m sure she’ll have substantial personal assets. Caning with four-day-old baguettes still a better idea.

Jumbo-Visma’s Tony Martin and Robert Gesink – two key lieutenants for Primož Roglič – also hit the deck. Gesink abandoned the race with his injuries.

Just saw Primož Roglič fell heavily at around 10km to go. Looked bad but he got back on the bike.

Horrible crashes everywhere. Bad crash between Ewan and Sagan near the finish.

vdP lead out actually distanced his teammate! Hahaha. vdP teammate Merlier won the stage.

Utterly brutal three days. A great spectacle to watch but you can tell a lot of riders aren’t very happy. Could do with a sedate one tomorrow to calm it all down and give some guys a chance to have an easy, drama free day.

Yeah, I generally wish/want the breakaway to win the stage. In this case, with Cavendish winning, I am perfectly fine with the outcome.

That is one impressive comeback.

Cav is the best example that comes to mind of a public figure that ‘grows up’ in front of your eyes.

He used to say/do some shit that would make any reasonable person think he’s a massive bell-end, he admits as much himself.

I love listening to him talk now, and he is very clearly one of the GOAT.

I saw a story that said the code she might have broken could result in a year in gaol…

Bloody hell…

Great work by Roglic, especially in the wake of this…

And here comes Pog…smashing the TT specialists…

1500 euros fine for what she’s been held for. Could get worst though depending on who else ‘portes plaint’.
