Yesterday every rider was screaming about the Roglic crash and safety. Today nobody has a peep about the massacre caused by the deliberate action of Maxim van Gils
If the UCI are concerned about rider safety they should have thrown van Gils off the race and banned him from racing for a period. It happens almost every sprint stage that there is a crash due to reckless riding. It's time the UCI took a strong stance against the offenders
Cav hanging onto the team car for way to long ! Deserved fine and penalties !
without his best legs jasper is even more dangerous. right now mathieu needs to drop him off in clear air with like 150m to secure the win and minimize the mayhem.
'Unseemly inappropriate behaviour at the finish and damage to the image of the sport' I'd luv to know what that was...
Damage to the image of the sport, was because Julien stopped during his TT, to embrace the moment with his family/friends/fan club. Was a beautiful moment in cycling to behold tbh.

- Itzulia? Are you sure it wasn’t more a boycott? Didn’t see many others going who crashed last year, out of the dozen of the crash only Cras I think.Mistermaumau16-04-2025
- MVDP also had a late bike change, so in theory a chance for Pogi to reel some time back. But by that point MvdP was strongermobk16-04-2025
- l don’t live in europe, i live in southern california. can someone explain why this stuff happens to van der poel and seemingly ONLY van der poel? i don’t need anyone to say it’s wrong or awful or whatever. i’m looking for a real cultural explanation of this phenomenon from someone who has a much deeper understanding of the forces at play than i do. thanks in advance.OCexile15-04-2025
- A MVDP victory certainly did not seem "inevitable" before the crash, with TP, MVDP and Philipsen leaving the peloton behind.. Pogi attacked to drop Philipsen, with Mathieu understandably unwilling to help, and he was surely attempting to put MVDP on the limit later by attacking again, until the crash derailed his efforts. Still the gap was manageable, and he was slowly trimming it down, but then a mechanical forced him to change bikes and that was the final straw. Kudos to TP for making it exciting, rather than just a walk in the park for MVDP.FredMan15-04-2025
- nice idea, but as analysis point out over and over, mvdp is more willing than anyone to lose a race in order to win it. why do you think smart riders like wout, ganna and mads end up doing his dirty work over and over? because he’s almost impossible to manipulate.OCexile15-04-2025
- I don’t really think Tadej would have felt comfortable relying on his team at PR more than his instinct.Mistermaumau15-04-2025

- You've got to take your pulls, but do them easier and shorter than he does. Just enough to keep him happy. And if Pog attacks, sit up and let MVDP close it down.acem8215-04-2025
