Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Yeah it was the bounce - the unclipping made it looked like a bike issue.

I think Coquard rides up on Milan's back wheel and goes into Girmay, who bounces him back across into Phillipsen.

Rex rather than Girmay

Now if intermediates were fastest times segment rather than fastest across line, we wouldn't likely get silly stuff like this happening.

Points mean prizes

 

[roadrash]

that was fekin horrible

Alex dowsett on the mic


Did I tell you I have ridden with him on a number of occasions?.

 

[Lanterne Rogue]

Not entirely convinced Milan didn't start all that, although I suspect his billy big balls routine the other day may have prejudiced me in that matter. Plenty of other nonsense even before the crash though - it was rather a mess all round.

Dowsett talking about " Punto you see eye (UCI) "

 

[mididoctors]

It's Milan crossing Brian's wheel that started it off

 

[mididoctors]

It's no one's fault ...it's just a freaky accident

Milan starts it by opening up and coming around his lead-out slightly. Though if you're not allowed to do that in a sprint we're buggered really.

Everyone is nervous now

Incidentally, Milan went to the Intermarche team bus and apologised for the "Billy big balls" stuff. Girmay says it was nothing really, just sprinter stuff, all forgotten.

Dowsett giving good insight of what it was like being on a team of "also rans" .. very intriguing. Btw I should regal you with my tales of sharing the road with Alex dowsett some time

 

[Beebo]

It’s a wide road. Plenty of space for everyone.
no need for all that squeezing.

I'm still prejudiced against him for it - if we're going to be rational about sport we might as well stop watching!
