He's so great, look at 2:55 he heads straight over to the fans and signs autographs.

@davezavu I went back and looked at his crash, and - W O U C H! ! Our big man Wout is every bit the gladiator you said! Crazy crashed today too. No matter how well a rider does, sometimes lady luck just doesn't smile on you - like poor Primoz - but those crazy road furniture. UCI has terrible safety program to not have all those little medians more visible with a flag person & whistle. :(

Well , they did give him the same time when he crashed yesterday.

They would have if that crash was inside 5k, they will not inside 12k. Which is where the crash happened.

@@scottf3456 Probably shouldn't have being that rule is for flat stages not mountain ones.

Ut was fully paomted in bright white !!

I agree.

yeah ...uuugghh ... super happy you noticed.....

English isn’t these riders first language or even second or third in some cases

@danshort10 LOL thanks for letting me know

I'm amazed at how well they speak English. The yeah is probably a pause to get the correct words out.

Since some of you don't understand the intent of my original comment, I feel I should clarify. What I said has nothing to do with the riders ability or inability to speak any specific language. Rather, it has everything to do with what they're allowed to say...hence the reason I think they all essentially repeat the same things pre/post race. The only "off script" statement that was made was by Remco and look how that ended for him. I guarantee the bosses reeled him in and we won't be hearing anything else about JV "not having the balls to race." People involved in certain activities tend to adopt a certain way of talking or behavior and cycling is no different. It's OK. I enjoy it. I'm very much entertained by the TDF. Yesterday's stage 11 was legendary.

He has chosen to ride on the right side for every sprint and has been boxed in. Don't read too much into it

The best sprint strategy is to stay far away from Jasper the Disaster

He probably prefers to ride on the right, but it has gotten him boxed in a couple of times. I think he was just laughing at himself though.

He was relegated, same as Cav. They're listed 67th and 68th for today's stage instead of 3rd and 5th.

Recording all questions and anwers for internal use / to keep the press honest / media training / legal backup. If you watch any F1 interviews they do the same there

@@ruben-ernst He takes his job seriously

@@LadyBird-n2t You realize he had a hard crash yesterday?

@@wimve4719 He's a big name cyclist in the biggest race of the year. Yes, he's going to make a one minute or so video. Oh the humanity.

nice categorical statement - your ignorance and / or bias shines through
