Anyone think Cav was far to aggressive in his sprint. Went from one side of the road to the other to block Guardini.

Guardini was more than 2 bike lengths down on Cav by that point, and he didn't get any closer, so it didn't make a difference

Result of CCC Polsat in Azerbaijan is a joke.

Don't those people know how to use ALT + 144 to make a capital é ?
The TV footage was chaotic, as well as the finishing straight (50 m of straight line after a curve, when there seemed to be hundreds of metres available further down the road). Still Démare seems to have been coming back solo from far away (FDJ's train kind of messed up) and overtook the three or four guys who were sprinting as if they were guys from a lower category.

Apparantly Démare was very impressive indeed. Sinkeldam stated on twitter that he saw a rocket pass by.

If you've missed, blablabla (I'm not good at making impressions), here's the video.
I hope it's not geo restricted.
Chopper footage with 150 m to go and a ~30 m wide bridge right above riders. Top choice there, director.

Roglic wins. Clarke takes the leader's jersey and Van der Haar shows that he can cycle on the road as well.

Once again Démare had no opposition, he looked like an adult sprinting against 10 years old guys.
He celebrated way too early (for someone who's likely targeting the general classification), that cost him 2 or 3 seconds, something like that.

Here's Roglic in 2007, suffering a very bad accident. He was a very promising ski jumper looking at few of his results. After this accident which he suffered many injuries he stoped ski jumping and went onto bike.
Nice story. Glad he recovered and looks a decent cyclist. Here is an interview with him, https://www.rtvslo...iro/307235
Google traslate does a shitty job but seems starting Giro would be his dream, hope he achieves that some day.

I never had the idea that he's that guy . I actually watched that Planica stream live and it even looked worse back in time. Really, really glad that he recovered well and even managed to get the win there!
As the ski jumping and cycling are my two favourite sports, I think I just got the favourite cyclist.
