Alaphilipe might have done it again!!!!!!!

Alaphilippe nearly celebrated too early again.

MVDP left it a second too late to kick maybe?

d_m

lucky, still pretty embarrassing given how close it was.

MVDP with extravagant bike handling
• #27661

andyp

MVDP screwed that up.
• #27662

MVDP to my mind isnt a completely refined tactician, often just tries to use raw power. This seems a case where experience and cunning made the difference

Darn too bad MVDP didn't snatch it LOLZ

Cosnefroy & Allan Philip shut the doors professionally

Edit: VDP says he's facepalming because of his own fault in the sprint and is not going to sleep tonight 😅

andyp in reply to @d_m

Nope. He’s the best sprinter of the three and he left his sprint too late. His error entirely.

andyp in reply to @d_m

He was on Cosnefroy’s wheel at 200 metres to go, he should’ve just launched then but for some reason he held back.

giofox in reply to @andyp

Doesn't have a good sense of distance?
• #27669

d_m in reply to @andyp

i think there is an argument he was possibly waiting to up the inside along the barriers
• #27670

pastry_bot

Maybe after 200k he just suffered an error of judgement?
• #27671

peter_v in reply to @d_m

Is what he said himself and cursed himself for

Must be one of his first races he hasnt won solo and that includes cross, mtb, nationals etc! Probably not used to having other people around him!
• #27673

andyp in reply to @Tallboy

He's won bunch sprints before.

Anyway, don't fuck about when you're in a breakaway with Thomas de Gendt;

moody character. at 33, he should know how this stuff plays out. might have have had a chance to win the stage but chose to not even test Rubio.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
