And quintana had just Bad bike handling skills

Hahahahahaha!! Great!

Nibali was pushing the group to attack. Afterward he had said in an interview something about it being a race and he shouldn't have to wait. That moved him to the bottom of my list of best cyclists.

@Micro Soft Ladies on the side of the road with signs animate the race too. Doesn't mean they deserve praise.

Agreed. Classy and deserved the win that year.

True

Let’s see how it goes for me

Ok yeah, you’re right

You must have had a challenging life so far then

Stephen Gialamas same here my right ear enjoyed this video

Was wondering what all the fuss was about... until I put my headphones on LOL

@@beezeebee6637 I still don't understand what everyone's talking about.

Arnoud Huberts well, they waited at the start of the climb. They didn't know what to do. Eventually they started riding and I remember that Dumoulin climbed that mountain faster than anybody else

nah its not a fault of movistar, it's the Bahrain started to put up the pace so Quintana the leader just followed wheels till the summit, he didn't attack. He just must not let Nibali and other gc guys go.

They didnt ask for the favor

I enjoy cycling but I do not understand rules of actual cycling so forgive me for this questions. What did he do that was wrong? How was Dumoulin a gentleman?

Joseph Edstrøm it’s not so much the actual UCI rules but rather the unwritten rules not to attack the GC leader when they crash or have a mechanical. In this case it was just a main GC contender looking after another. Which was not required but it’s a gentleman thing to do and make this sport wonderful to watch. Like others have said Quintana did not want to press on but Merida put on the pressure and he has to follow to not loose time to other GC contenders.

What does it mean?

@@angelamerkel3373 It literally means he shat himself. The poor guy must have been so embarrassed.

@@angelamerkel3373 er hat in seine hose geschissen

He is a wining man

Stage 19 shortened wasn't a contoversy everybody agreed it was the only thing that could be done

@@denkend8373 The only option ? What about restarting the race ? It has already be seen, even in 2019 in Dwars doors Vlaaderen. And it has been seen at even more crucial moments of a race, like in Roubaix 2006 when a train stopped the chasing group. The controversy also comes from the applications of the rules, which are very clear for cases like this, and nothing allows the commissaires to set a finishline somewhere on the course after the riders have passed it.

I will never forgive Tour de France for throwing out Sagan in 2017 🤬🥶🤬

Rune you won’t forgive the Tour de France for kicking sagan out for knocking Cavendish off his bike grow up they made the right call

@ peter- Whatever, chief. Cavendish crashed out many a competitor back when he was able finish races with the bunch and was responsible for knocking guys out of races, not because of dq's, but bc they were injured so badly they were unable to continue. Him getting taken out by Sagan was karma, plain and simple.

He even threw the bottle away bcs he had 2 on his bike

Well that was just 4sec so its ok

@@s1mpleniko488 its allowed 4 seconds to hold it. it seem the car helps him with speed.

Just a handful of seconds...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

: )

But why are u even racing in the grind and not on the cobbles?? There were so many people there back in 2017 on the Oude Kwaremont.

You meant Naesen?

Why wouldn't you? There's the whole road to race on.

@@garymitchell5899 Because they don't want to lose? Are you for real?

It would have been a very epic battle between GVA, Sagan and Gilbert. Personally i think GVA would have won because hè was outstanding that year

But he was bringing Van Avermaet in his wheel. Van Avermaet was in the shape of his life in 2017, and he has the bad habit of beating Sagan in the sprints (a bit like Kwiatkowski).

I think they'd dallied too much within that group, and already allowed Gilbert to build an insurmountable lead. But you never know......!

Yes I think so, Sagan is still strong, but in 2017 was monster.

Tbh part of me blames Sagan for that incident, he was far too close to the barriers.

Yes

Heard it for the first time

Yes. He is Daniel Llyod

He even won the tour a Estremadura or something

You can see him at GCN

Svit Kramar Ros Basically when Movistar are the victims the rest waits for them (unless there already was a proper attack on the way). And when their opponents are down , they just move to take advantage. Sad tactics.

Wrong Movistar is one of best teams

Is that a Wuhan flu reference?!! cos it was GOLD!! 😆

seal1mas you are joking right?

@der Führer Saw any Movistars pushing the tempo up front that I missed?

Ohhh noooo dooodooooo

I know little about cycling but even I noticed that bogus bottle exchange.

I read it in some vids it says 8 seconds and it is not cheating because you can hold on to that for 8 sec

I think 4 seconds. But there is another reason that doesnt involve cheating. It pertains to the safety of the other riders. They want to make sure the bottle is in the hands firmly. A dropped full water bottle can and has caused riders that ran over it to crash. So the rider getting the bottle has to make sure he has a firm grip before the guy giving him the bottle can let go.

use headphones

It was a jacket

Drifting So basicly the best rider stay at the back of the group so they can save energy, the front rider fought with higher wind resistance than rider at the back

@@enricotimothy7759 drafting. But yes, youre totally right

@@enricotimothy7759 drifting but no. The best spot 2 save energy is not at the back of peleton Even when there are 5 cyclist the best is 4th place then 3rd then last cyclist then 2nd hardest job has the 1st one

It is easier to ride on the side of the road because it is relatively flat, riding on the road with all those bumps is is not efficient, pleasant or otherwise. It's just faster, of course it comes with the risk of crashing because of the fences or idiots in the crowd.

That's the wrong question. The right one would be why are spectators hanging their coats on the inside of the barriers? It's not like they don't know riders pass close to the side of the road... Cycling has the worst fans in sports.

Dumoulin waited for Quintana when He had a Crash but Quintana didn't wait for tom when it was His Turn with issues

Dumoulin waited for Quintana when He had a Crash but Quintana didn't wait for tom when it was His Turn with having issues

That people from the other side of the barriers can't handle themselves

Nelson Sarmiento is the representation of lactic acid, one of the cyclist’s worst enemies
