- I dont like the TTT in the TDF. Riders with potential to win or be in the top 5 or 10 can lose minutes with a weak team. Strong riders on strong teams love it cause it gets rid of potential competitionCyclingnut29-01-2026

- NO. In the video you can watch the amateur rider far away, about 200 meters from him. He crashed descending ALONE. I think the problem arose when another amateur took photos of him on the ground: the world was going to know that he crashed. Perhaps the frustration of the moment led him to blame the first amateur.
