He got dropped, by his own admission, in the run in on the opening stage. Which doesn't bode well for a Tour win.

He’s playing a long bluff.

Relegation incoming

Relegation coming up for Sam Bennett?

Snap!

Messy

That was poor sprinting from Sammy.

I don't think it's a guaranteed DQ, whilst he moved across the road, he did so a) at the front and b) in a consistent manner, so the commissaires may not deem it worthy of a relegation, especially as he he didn't win.

Groenewegen should be relegated for his movement that nearly took out the Bahrain rider.

This is no time for sense and objectivity, let us flap our gums man!

Where's snoops to adjudicate?

andyp is right Groenewegen relegated! All hail his mastery of the rule book.

Bennett was too though.

and Bennett.

Sorry, been busy. Only had time for Flo Bikes highlights tonight, which are god awful.

Frontal consistency is not a thing. Commi’s got it right. As ever, chalked sprint guidelines would make all this plain to see.

Once you launch, stay in your lane!

How much have IPT paid Derek Gee to sign a five year contract? Is he on Chris Froome money now?

I hope Larry Warbasse got a cut.

Mad! I thought he’d be taking the first ticket out of that set-up.

Dylan G making it very hard for anyone to like him.

His actions in Poland did that for most.

Where have I heard that before?

Finally catching up with the end of this Giro.

Did you curse him by writing that before he dropped his chain? :D

FD ftw

Tactical mechanical for the extra RAGE WATTS?

Only if you have two bikes to hand...

Sad day for Britain as dominant TTers :(
