That was unfortunate for Ewan (and then Sagan too)..

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

He's still down.  I hope he's alright, but that was totally his fault from what it looks like

Can't see, if he bumped into Merlier first, which triggered the fall into Sagan, or if he just didn't have space to move and f'ed the situation.

Ewan the moron :facepalm:

Often, but actually not this time. Merlier 'caused' it, although not at all due to his own fault. That corner being there in the first place is a scandal by itself.

Merlier stood up to sprint, which makes you slow down for a fraction of a second. Ewan was of course right on his wheel, as he as a sprinter should, but he then hit Merlier's back wheel when Merlier stood up (and thus slowed down a tiny bit).

 

Nobody's fault, really, but highly unfortunate for Ewan and Sagan.

Yea, as I look at it again, more an unfortunate matter of that last kink in the road and Ewan not anticipating how little room there was going to up against the barriers
