Olav Kooij wins Stage 1 at the Tour of Poland...led out by teammate Matty Brennan who subsequently got penalized for looking behind him in the sprint.
Matthew Brennan (TVL) takes 500 CHF, -5 pts penalty in pts classification, relegation to last place of belonging group and a yellow card for endangering the other riders in the final sprint (knowingly staying within the line of other riders)

Loved the Jayco lead out guy who unexpectedly found himself at the front after the crash at about 1.2k and just sat up and shrugged his shoulders.

What happened to Sam Bennett?

Patrick Lefevere.....🙄
He was nvolved in a crash with a few others.

 

[KingstonGraham]

It's usually dangerous chaos in this race isn't it? I'm giving it a miss.

 

[Adam4868]

Good line up at the Vuelta a Burgos.
Landa is back 😍

 

[Dogtrousers]

Funny how I tend to forget all these other riders exist just after the TdF. Oh yes, I remember him. Didn't he used to be a cyclist ages ago. Like ... two months ago.

 

[Adam4868]

Enric Mas is out for the rest of the season,been diagnosed with “thrombophlebitis” in his left leg.

Had to Google it myself.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Thrombo is all about blood clots. Phleb is all about veins (phlebotomists draw blood from your veins). Itis is normally inflammation.

So put them together and you get "Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein associated with a blood clot (thrombus)"

GWS Enric

18 year old Dane Peter Oxenberg making his debut for Ineos at Burgos....no pressure Pete.

I saw a clip of that, it looks like someone not that use to doing a lead out looking round thinking where the feck is Olav, and then just slowing down rather than pealing off before slowing down.

Manx man Max walker in the break in Poland.

 

[mididoctors]

4 man group got 4 mins... 1 million k to go

Not this year. It’s mostly hilly or mountainous.
Yesterday was the one nailed on sprint and as crashes go, it was pretty minor.

Polish TV more intelligible than my assumed bias would have let me believe
