Finishing with 3 guys in a group of 11 just proves how great their leadout was and how alert they were. Great win
Altough it seems like it just wheel over wheel…such a barriers are just straight up dangerous, its like the rcs and uci want to see crashes do advertise their sport so they can showcase the crash from 120 different perspectives just like in the netflix serie
Nasty crash! Hope all are good
These organizations think that high speed crashes are โbox officeโ and Iโm sick of it. Does ANYONE want to see someone die, live on television? Enough.
Absolute carnage on day 1…that looked terrible.
This isnโt a racing incident. Itโs negligence, bloody psychotic. We need to be looking at minimum road width on sprint finishโs now. Also taking away barriers than can kill would help.
Great idea to have an stage with very wide roads and then the road just narrows at the end so everyone crashes, very intelligent stage design
Looks like Ben Shelton on a bike ๐คฃ
4:34 why is the race route so narrow here? there's SO much space that could have been used. you can see after the crash happens and the camera zooms out, there doesn't seem to be a curb anywhere, so why? extra arm room for the spectators?
Sprint stages… Boring at best, horrifying at worst. Soooo many crashes in Grand Tour sprint stages.
5:05 hopefully the UCI don't trip over themselves rushing to fine those two riders for celebrating their teammate's win ๐
Why are the start and finish places written in Russian?
Giro d'Italia in Bulgaria? Sounds about right, innit? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐
100% Milan lost due to wrong gear
Idiotic UCI course design again. They do stupid equipment bans but miss the biggest risk
Even the novelty of it being the Giro wore off after 20 mins, why do they even have these yawnfest stages? I pity the commentors filling time for 3+ hours.
Weird to see no real contender against Vingegaard. It's like the dices had been loaded, or something…
That crash made me gasp.
Much better sum-up than D-Max . Where it sems to be more and more about the presenters. And less about he action.
Horrible
Race Director sd sued for the course design
Same uci that allowed the narrowing
Cyclist Union as usual will do nothing
Non-professional sport of professional cycling
I really miss free to view 1 hour highlight show with cafe culture and a full country profile. I almost can't face July without Tour de France highlights on ITV.
Why choose a sprint course like this? Itโs just too dangerous!
Letโs focus on personal vendetta against some random cyclist for hand positioning, but letโs have barriers from the 80s with outward feet and small road for the finish. Good job UCI on focusing on what really matters!
Watch the lidl trek rider 3rd from the front on the viewer right hand side at 4:37 – how does he stay on his bike?
Why have you made it so expensive to watch!!!!!!!!!!!
Milan looks ridiculous when sprinting!
Hmm. Dangerous stage. Best to ban narrow bars and big chainrings, that should solve it.
Whats going on with the cyrillic translations in the map?
what's up those barrier feet in the finishing straight, though?
With a ridiculous finishing section, imagine if the pre-race favorite Vin got knocked out on day one. Stupid stupid stupid.
So, as well as I understand, in all Bulgaria it was not possible to find a wider road for the finish? And there are no better barriers?
#32 finished second. #32 or his team mate started/caused the OBLITERATION of the PELOTON
