VIDEO: Arnaud de Lie's Paris-Bourges sprint blows up tire and chain
CyclingFriday, 06 October 2023 at 12:26
Paris-Bourges ended with a very tense sprint. Arnaud Démare took the victory on the day, outsprinting Arnaud de Lie. The Lotto Dstny broke a crank some days ago and won the Famenne Ardenne Classic, and this time around his blew up a tire mid-sprint in the French race.
It was another unbelievable moment. The Belgian rider rode across the finish line with a blown up front tire, and his chain fell. He managed to stay upright, however his loss of control over the bike did see Soren Kragh Andersen and Arne Marit go down.

- He was dominant in the 2020 Tour, shepherded by a dominant team. Pogacar stayed close. No one could have predicted how a superstar could emerge in that final time trial.
Barney31-05-2025 - The question is, why was he weak? The answer, he was following all the moves himself, quite a few times because he was isolated with no teammates. If he has teammates deeper into the stages, he doesn't need to cover attacks. If he doesn't have to cover attacks, he won't crack. This is all simple stuff, especially for folks who actually watch all the stages.Chazz2031-05-2025
- This is easy math. Tadej races more single day races. Discrepancy solved.Chazz2031-05-2025
- Gravels not hard to ride - let the bike ride itself, 'keep balance etc..
leedorney30-05-2025 - If Tadej has just one or two days of weakness like 22 or 23 Jonas could still winmobk30-05-2025
- The boring guy who "only rides the TdF" has just as many race days as Tadej over the last 4.5 years (230 vs 235) despite having far more serious injury. In Jonas's biggest year of racing he raced 68 days, a total Tadej has never reached. So while Tadej is clearly the superior all round rider, the criticism that Jonas only does the Tour is ridiculous.mobk30-05-2025
- Great climber (maybe the best) and great GC TT man. Jonas is an extraordinary 3 weeks tour GC boy, questionless. But FOR ME even if Tadej is second to this great specialist (jonas) he remains the best rider in absolute.

- Better for the fans than racing for places like so many riders seem to domobk30-05-2025
- He's on the downward side of his career. But he has had a spectacular one. It's a lot like how Sagan just faded in the end.
