At least stormy weather makes it heroic Never mind, this was awful, they basically missed the deciding part What a finish though! If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Pifta 41 Posted May 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Ewan fell meters from the finish line, and he was lying there for minutes. Just WHY? If you lay on the ground, you lose important seconds and positions, you must get up as fast as you can, and you can care about your wound after the finish line.

He is a sprinter and do not care for general classification therfore time and positions. Only for winning single stages. Never mind. Finish pretty nice. The whole stage seems to were boring.

It's like swimming the first 100 meters of the 1500, sounds dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinzha 529 Posted May 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Van der Poel just beat Dumoulin in a time trial. This guy can do anything! Except beating Yates today I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pifta 41 Posted May 8, 2022 #20 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I didn't watch the stage today, but I read the results, it says 156 riders crossed the finish line at the same time, not even a second difference happened. I can't imagine this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
